A NURSERY school where children reportedly spoke of a “monster in the bathroom” is facing accusations of violence and sexual abuse.
The Munay Waldorf School in Zaragoza, Spain has now closed amid a sweeping police investigation.
Two members of staff have been accused of raping children as young as three.
At least 10 families have filed complaints, with around a dozen children allegedly describing sexual assaults, physical violence and intimidation inside the school – which catered for just 20 to 30 children aged 0 to 6.
The school follows the controversial holistic education system created by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher.
One mum told Spanish newspaper El País her daughter began showing severe anxiety during her time at the school between 2022 and 2023.
The devastated mum said her daughter was becoming withdrawn, frightened and refusing to use the toilet.
“She told me there was a monster in the bathroom and she never went because it scared her so much. When we went to pick her up, the first thing she did when she came out was wet herself,” she said.
The mum later compiled a blue file folder filled with transcripts of conversations, audio recordings, videos and a sketchbook she says documents her daughter’s recollections.
The paper trail included chilling drawings of a man with blood around his mouth and exposed genitals.
