A Glastonbury daycare director accused of not reporting several instances of child abuse at her facility has been denied entry to the accelerated rehabilitation program, which could have led to dismissal of the charges.
Meegan Beach, 40, of Hebron, was charged with failing to report child abuse after her employees at the Stork Club daycare brought it to her attention that another employee, Nicole Mayo, was allegedly abusing children.
Mayo is accused of eating food the children’s parents sent for the youngsters, including pasta, vegetables, chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese and granola bars. One employee reported seeing Mayo do that 10 to 15 times, according to the arrest warrant application.
She’s also accused of force feeding children until they vomited, slamming a child to the floor, smacking a child in the back of the head, yelling and calling the children names, including disgusting and stupid.
A mother reported to police that Mayo kissed her son on the lips and said, “Tell me you love me.”
Several employees told police they reported the incidents to Beach and that she had been retaliating since the Department of Children and Families started investigating.
“Because (of) all of you reporting this, my job is on the line. I’ve done nothing but cry myself to sleep each night,” Beach said to an employee, according to court records.
Beach did not comment outside of court on Monday, but her attorney's brought nearly five recommendation letters to court that praised her service in her 21-year career.
The judge says the seriousness of this case affected his decision not to grant her ARD.
Beach is due in court in September.
Mayo has pleaded not guilty to three counts of risk of injury to a minor and disorderly conduct
The United States men’s gymnastics team was sunk by a shaky start and -- despite a strong rally on parallel bars -- missed a medal, finishing fifth for the second straight Olympics on Monday.
Japan won gold by finishing with a spectacular performance on the floor, highlighted by Kenzo Shirai’s bouncing, soaring 16.133 en route to a total of 274.094.
Despite having the day’s top rotation score of 47.866, on parallel bars, China was edged out for silver by Russia. Britain was fourth.
Alexander Naddour’s stumble on floor earned him a 13.566, the USA’s lowest score of the day, though its total there was was slightly better than than the 43.699 on pommel horse, a familiar villain for the US men, who were undone by the horse four years ago in London, where they also finished fifth.
The United States, which missed a medal by 1.438 points, expected better after finishing second in qualifying with room for improvement. Instead, the team of Naddour, Dan Leyva, Sam Mikulak, Jake Dalton and Chris Brooks regressed.
They finished with a 268.560, nearly two points worse than in qualifying.
Four years ago in London, the Americans dominated qualifying only to slide to fifth with a medal on the line, a fall kickstarted by a forgettable set on pommels.
On Monday night, the horse was a problem again, but so was the floor.
The U.S. finished ahead of Brazil, Germany and Ukraine. Japan was led by Shirai's astonishing floor routine, but Kohei Uchimura led the team, competing on each apparatus two days after he fell on the bar, where he is the world champion.
The U.S. rallied on rings and especially on vault after the slow start, but couldn't catch Japan, Russia or defending champ China.
A fall by Britain's Louis Smith on its last apparatus, the horse, may have cost his team a chance to repeat as bronze medalists.

It looked as if the U.S. team - which entered Rio as the No. 1 squad in the world - had settled in, but Netherlands wouldn't allow it for long.
In the third set, the Dutch team jumped out to 24-17 lead. USA rattled off four straight points, but they couldn't complete the comeback, leading to a 25-21 loss in the third set.
The two teams traded points in the fourth set before USA pulled away and sent the match into five sets with a 25-20 victory in the fourth set.
In the deciding set, a series of three consecutive blocks led to points for USA as they jumped out to a 7-3 lead. They went on to win the fifth set 15-8.
Since the match went to five sets, both teams retained a point for pool play and USA collected two points for the victory. The top four teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals, which begin Tuesday, Aug. 16.

The letter describes Trump's lack of knowledge of the Constitution and U.S. laws and lambastes the candidate for appearing to have "no interest in educating himself."
Among those who signed the letter are former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer, former Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Planning Robert Blackwill and former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, NBC News reported.
"A president must be disciplined, control emotions, and act only after reflection and careful deliberation," the letter states. "In our judgment, Mr. Trump has none of these critical qualities ... We are convinced that in the Oval Office, he would be the most reckless President in American history."
