Boys and Girls Club Staffer Accused of Assaulting Children

Police are investigating a possible assault at the Boys and Girls Club in Dudley, Massachusetts.

According to police, a staff member is accused of assaulting students.

The phone call came from inside this building.

The call from a 12-year-old — her voice full of panic.

When a 12-year-old girl called her grandmother Tuesday, Stacey Lundy-Teixeira was shocked at what she heard.

Her granddaughter says a staff member, smelling of alcohol, walked up to her.

"He pulled her hair, told her he was going to smack the braces off her face," Lundy-Teixeira said.

The girl went on, telling her grandmother the staff member also told several children, aged 6 and 7, they had to give him a hug and a kiss if they wanted a cookie.

"My heart breaks for all the children that have been there," Lundy-Teixeira said.

In a statement, the Boys and Girls Club says it fired the staffer and called Dudley Police, who are investigating and conducting interviews.
