Toddler who wouldn't nap tossed by day care worker, caught on video

NEW YORK -- A mother says her 2-year-old son was kicked by a woman at day care because he wouldn't take a nap.

Disturbing surveillance video shows the toddler being picked up from his chair, tossed on the ground and kicked by 36-year-old Valeriaya Buonadonna.

A witness apparently alerted the boy's parents to the incident, leading to Buonadonna's arrest.

Buonadonna is charged with assault. The Children's Services Administration is working with police to investigate the incident.
