Kindergarten incident and subsequent assault in Ano Liosia

On the morning of September 29, 2026, a confrontation occurred at the 1st Kindergarten of Ano Liosia, Greece, involving the facility's director and several children. A viral video captured the director shouting aggressively at students, threatening them with physical harm if they damaged school property, specifically using the phrase 'I will break your hands.' The incident drew immediate criticism from onlookers and the wider public.

Following this initial dispute, the situation escalated into a physical altercation. A father of a student, having been alerted to the director's conduct, arrived at the school and physically assaulted the educator. The director alleged that she sustained injuries to her face and head, necessitating medical attention. Footage surfaced later showing the parent striking the director, who was seen attempting to protect herself on the ground.

Legal and administrative actions are currently underway. The director has filed a complaint, and a mother was reportedly arrested in connection with threats and verbal abuse, while the father who committed the assault has admitted to striking the woman. Authorities are investigating both the initial mistreatment of the children and the subsequent assault. Consequently, officials have decided to relocate the kindergarten director to a different school facility pending further review of her professional conduct.
