A Brazilian babysitter who was filmed by a hidden camera allegedly hitting two babies was attacked by a mob of residents after a television station aired the video, according to a Local 6 News report.
Divina Elaine Leite, 27, was reportedly videotaped hitting a 2-year-old and 6-month-old baby at their home in Goianian, Brazil.
The children's father, Joao Batista Barbosa Da Silva, installed the camera after he realized that his children were unusually aggressive and had bruises on their bodies.
When Da Silva saw the video of Leite allegedly beating his children, he was shocked.
He took the tape to local police but did not receive immediate help. So, he then delivered it to a TV station.
When local residents saw the hidden video on television, they attacked the babysitter in the street.
An amateur video camera caught a man drop kicking the woman and several other people punching her in the face. Leite managed to run away.
Police later filed a complaint against the babysitter.
