Theresa Brown, 24, is accused of biting the toddler on Sept.
11 at The Goddard School in Woodbridge, Virginia, a private
school about 22 miles (35 km) southwest of Washington, according
to Prince William County police.
Brown bit the child who was enrolled at the school, leaving a
visible mark, as punishment after he had bitten another teacher,
police said.
A witness reported the incident to the school's 24-year-old
co-owner, Nadia Choudhry. Choudhry did not report the incident
and was charged with failing to report the offense to
authorities, which state law requires, police said.
Officials at the school, described on its website as serving
infants to school-age children, declined to comment.
As of Monday, Brown was no longer listed online as a member of
Goddard faculty.
