A childcare worker in the Southern Riverina has been charged after allegedly pouring water on a child.
On Thursday 5 December 2024, officers attached to Murray River Police District commenced investigations following reports a five-year-old girl had been assaulted at an early learning centre in Deniliquin.
It will be alleged that in November 2024, a female worker at the centre poured water from a drink bottle onto the child.
Following inquiries, a 47-year-old woman was issued a Court Attendance Notice on Saturday (6 September), charged with assaulting a school student while attending school.
She is due to appear before Deniliquin Local Court on Wednesday 12 November 2025.
