About Margaret Kelly
When Margaret Kelly Michaels decided to go from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, to stay with a friend, she was 24 years old. She answered to a job posting for a teacher's assistant a few weeks later. When she arr
ived for the interview, she learned that Wee Care, a daycare in New Jersey, was the employer. She was hired for a full-time teacher's assistant role in that company. She received a promotion to full-time prekindergarten teacher within a month. After that, she left on 26th April, 1985, to accept a position as a teacher close to her home.
Facts of the Case:
When a nurse used a rectal thermometer to take a 4-year-old child's temperature in April 1985, the boy remarked, "That was what my teacher did to me during nap time at school." All of the students at the Wee Care were interrogated after the comment was submitted to the local authorities. 51 daycare centre youngsters who provided testimony were interviewed by social workers and therapists. Children claimed during the interviews that Michaels made them suck peanut butter off her genitalia, poked knives, forks, and other items into their rectums and vaginas, made them eat cakes made of human excrement, and forced them to duck, duck, goose whilst naked. 235 charges of sexual misconduct against children and youth were included in Michaels' indictment.
Interrogations:
The prosecutor's office questioned five kids, four parents, four teachers, Wee Care aides and administrators, the doctor's helper, Alex's brother, as well as an adult friend of Alex's parents between May 2 and May 8, 1985. On May 6, at around 7:00 a.m., Detective Mastrangelo & Sergeant Noonan entered Michaels' apartment while she was getting ready for work without warning. She consented when they requested her to accompany them for questioning at the Essex County Prosecutor's office. Without legal representation, Michaels voluntarily answered every question for roughly nine hours at the prosecutor's office.
Physical examination of the kids were done, and no evidence of maltreatment was discovered. No parent has ever reported finding their child physically harmed. FBI tests revealed no evidence of wooden spoon penetration to the kids.
Polygraph tests
Michaels was informed by Mastrangelo and Noonan that she would be freed if...
