A nursery worker who abused three tots and told one, 'I'd love to put your head through a window' faces being struck off.
Laura Houston was found guilty last year of abusing three youngsters in her care, some who were aged one.
She drew a moustache on a sleeping toddler’s face and pulled his legs, causing him to fall and hit his face.
The 25-year-old also deliberately tripped up a second child and slapped another’s chest, the Daily Record.

She was convicted of the assaults last August at Paisley Sheriff Court and was given a 12-month community payback order despite being branded “a danger to children”.
She faces a hearing in front of care watchdogs next week and could be banned from working with kids.
Vile Houston, who carried out the abuse between August 2014 and February 2015 at Happy Days Too nursery in Busby near Glasgow, is due to appear at a misconduct hearing at the Scottish Social Services Council in Dundee on Wednesday.

She faces charges relating to her convictions as well as other allegations.
It’s alleged she told a child: 'I’d love to put your head through a window.'
She also allegedly deliberately tripped up a one-year-old on more than one occasion and trying to force-feed another child, causing them to gag.

Another charge claims she encouraged one tot to push and bite another youngster.
Houston was suspended from the nursery as soon as the assault allegations came to light and resigned in February 2015.
