Cruel Joanne Lindsay also told workers not to turn their back when they put her in a bouncer and not to make eye contact, even when she was being fed.
Details of her shocking behaviour were laid bare at a hearing of the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) where it emerged she instructed carers not to bond with the infant, Glasgow Live reports.
