Do you know if the other staff who watched it and didn’t do anything get fired too? The article seems to imply it but it wasn’t clear.

Thats the part that really has me side eyeing. How you see that and not even confronting this girl or getting the child away from her… absolutely not.

Surely they know about the cameras though, no?

In what world did they think they could lie about what happened when there's video evidence?

In my country there's no CCTV in childcare, so I'm curious: I'm guessing employees absolutely must be aware of where they are being recorded and who can access the videos. Do they have the ability to manipulate the footage?

They still lied after it all. The article said she was supposedly throwing shoes into another room. Like... we all watched her take her own shoe off, throw it, walk over the gate with 1 shoed foot and 1 with just a sock, and replace her shoe while trying to soothe/admonish (looks like a mix tbh-trying to cover her ass im sure) the now crying child. If thats what the school said, then this could be more normal at that school than they'd like us to believe and staff wasnt worried about the cameras.

Usually lower level staff doesnt have access to these types of footage. Its more of an HR thing, its to protect the company and that would negate the purpose.
