A Glasgow primary school teacher who manhandled and reduced kids to tears has been banned from the classroom.
Lorna Westcott bawled at children and left them shaking and crying while she was supposed to educate then at Toryglen Primary.
Now a report published this week reveals her career lies in tatters as she is struck from the teaching register after admitting a catalogue of outrageous behaviour.

Westcott admitted a raft of claims about her vicious behaviour towards five different children between August 2018 and March the following year.
The General Teaching Council for Scotland heard she bawled "can you not answer a simple question" at one child and shouted at others, threatening to go personally to their homes if they didn't come to school.
She went to to intimidate a colleague, pointing her finger in her face yelling "this conversation does not go any further".
Westcott's nasty behaviour continued when she walked into a classroom and grabbed the hands of two children to separate them. She pulled one of the boys under the armpits and used her legs to move his body, then pushed him into a padded room.
She also grabbed another pupil from the floor and pushed her towards a sink, shouting at her to close the tap, and forced her hand to do so.
At a later date she hauled one of the children from the playground by the arm, forcing him to walk back inside, pushing him so hard he fell backwards onto a tent.
Westcott agreed to be removed from the Register of Teachers, which means she is unable to work in her profession unless she makes a successful application to be reinstated in at least two years time.
