A teaching assistant has been jailed after spitting at a child and pinching another pupil's nose at a school in Sittingbourne. Danuska Pullia, of Iwade, in Kent, was sentenced to four years in prison for four counts of child cruelty at Maidstone Crown Court on Friday. The 47-year-old had denied the allegations but Kent Police said she admitted to officers she spat at a child who spat at her and pinched another child's nose to take a chocolate bar out of their mouth.
