A kids care worker is facing a disciplinary probe – after she allegedly called a six-year-old girl “sexy” and a “skank”, then threatened to drown her cat.
Kelly Cameron, who is said to have been employed as a nursery assistant at Great Western Pre-Schools After School Club in Aberdeen at the time of the incidents, faces a conduct hearing in front of the Scottish Social Services Council later this month.
The charge against her alleges that between August 20 and 26 2013 she called a girl, aged six, “sexy”, a “mink” and a “skank” before stating she would put a cat belonging to her family “in the river and drown it”.
She is further said to have said she would “remove her fish from its tank and dangle it by its tail”.
Cameron is later said to have called a nine-year-old at the facility “ugly” and told a group of kids there to “shut up”.
She is also said to have failed to inform her employers, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, that she was under investigation by the local council while employed by them as a nursery assistant between October 2014 and January 2016.
Cameron will face a conduct sub-committee hearing in Dundee next month.
If the charges are proved she could face being struck off.
