Who Is Gloria Barghi From Roswell?
Gloria Barghi is the mother of one of the children who was assaulted by two teachers at a Georgia preschool.
She told Atlanta’s NBC network WXIA that intuition led her to check in on the classroom using an app on her cellphone.

Fortunately, Barghi and her husband, Brant Duncan, hurried to the preschool and visited their son before the event happened. They requested to watch the complete video of what they had just witnessed live.
As per the reports mentioned by Marca, the teacher, who is kneeling, turns away from the kids and walks on her knees out of camera range.
The teacher places her index finger on the child’s face and then presses the child’s forehead, making their head bobble, as per the clip.
