On September 19, some netizens posted a video breaking the news that two teachers of Hongxu Kindergarten in Ganyu District, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, yelled at the children when they distributed biscuits and milk to the children, threatened and intimidated the children in line to hurry up, and also posed for a video to make the children smile. Once the video was released, there was public anger, and netizens shouted that they should be severely punished.

In the online video, the teacher scolded the children.

Kindergarten teachers intimidated children from beginning to end

In the video, the children are queuing up for biscuit milk, and a teacher keeps loudly urging the children, "Take milk!" "Keep up!" "You hurry!" , the voice is uplifted, extremely harsh. One child was slow to hold, and the teacher said to another teacher, "Hit him." In the second half of the video, the teacher puts forward a new request to the child, "the child who takes it looks at the teacher's mobile phone and laughs", intimidating the child to fake a smile and pose for a photo. Most of the children are timid and their eyes are evasive.

After the incident, the local education bureau, public security and other departments intervened, and the two teachers involved have been dismissed. According to the director of the kindergarten involved, one of the teachers was usually louder, and his emotions were out of control that day, but he did not scold the children, and the construction of teachers' morality and teaching style will be strengthened.

The Great Wall Network Jiyun client reporter contacted the Ganyu District Education Bureau, and the staff said that the teacher's approach was definitely wrong, and the incident had been properly handled. The kindergarten held a parent-teacher meeting to explain and apologize to the parents, and the two teachers involved were dismissed, and the parents' understanding was obtained. He also said that the next step will be to strengthen the education and teaching management of primary and secondary schools, including kindergartens, standardize the level of schooling, and increase supervision and guidance in improving the quality of teachers.

When the reporter asked if the teacher involved could go to other kindergartens to work, the staff member said no, "We have internal documents, anyway, we Ganyu will definitely not." ”

Netizen @CloudSymmetry said that these two teachers should keep a record of the case, it is really terrible, it will leave a shadow in the child's heart.

Netizen @Xiaobowlbowl said that it looks so pitiful, just like giving food to prisoners, children have no natural nature, and they are like obedient machines.

Netizen @Dierxia said that the dismissal is over? Should be on the professional blacklist! You can't be a teacher for life.

Incidents of child abuse in kindergartens are frequent

In recent years, incidents of child abuse in kindergartens have occurred from time to time, with some teachers sarcastically ridiculing children, some teachers insulting and beating children, and even teachers pricking children with needles, which has caused a bad impact and attracted widespread attention in society.

On September 12, a parent in Shanghai posted the news that in March this year, he found that his child had multiple bruises on his body and was suspected of being abused by a kindergarten teacher. Hospital medical exams showed pinpoint-like holes in multiple parts of the child's body, and a hair test found that all five children contained ephedrine (often used as a stimulant), and two of the children contained lidocaine (a commonly used local anesthetic). According to reports, the kindergarten staff said that the police have dealt with it, and all their procedures are subject to the arrangements of the Education Bureau and the police station. On the 14th, the staff of the Dahua Xincun Police Station of the Baoshan Branch of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau said that there would be an official release on the matter, and the police station could not reply. The staff of the Baoshan District Education Bureau said that it should be announced to the public in the future.

In June this year, netizens posted a video breaking the news that the teacher of Peking University Peiwen Experimental Kindergarten in Jincheng, Shanxi Province, pushed down the child during a rehearsal program. After the incident, the teacher involved was dismissed and the principal was suspended. At present, psychological counseling is being carried out for young children, and the public security organs have intervened in the investigation.

In May this year, netizens broke the news that a kindergarten teacher in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, violently dragged and even kicked and beat many children when he was taking children to rehearse the June Day program. Subsequently, the kindergarten staff responded that such actions were not allowed and that the kindergarten was already dealing with the matter.

In March this year, a father in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, posted an article claiming that his 4-year-old baby boy was beaten several times by a teacher in kindergarten, resulting in head injury, and the teacher did not admit it at first until the surveillance video was exposed. The Yulin High-tech Zone Education, Culture and Sports Bureau said that the teacher involved, Li, had a teacher qualification certificate and had now suspended him.

All this is shocking. It can be seen that because most of the teachers "abuse", "corporal punishment" and "rough treatment" of children cannot constitute criminal responsibility, even if they are exposed, they are only "suspended", "dismissed" and "dismissed", and it is not known whether they will continue to work in a different city or kindergarten after the rumors.

Guard the bottom line of "good education for the young"

Why is it that in the face of high public concern, kindergarten child abuse incidents are still repeatedly banned? Why can these impatient and loving "demons" take up the position of kindergarten teacher? How can I prevent similar incidents from happening again?

Netizen @Sweet and Sour Xiaoice Sugar said that the low treatment of kindergarten teachers and the low quality of practitioners are the direct cause.

@奶霸知道 said that if a preschool teacher does not love children, he must not let them go to work, and every child abuse incident that does not seem to cause physical harm to the child on the surface is difficult to assess concretely.

Netizen @Beichuan Guangming said that it is necessary to strengthen preschool teacher education, improve the entry level of professional qualifications, improve the treatment of preschool teachers and must hold a certificate to work.

The bottom line of "early childhood" cannot be broken, where is the road of "good education for the young"? People's Daily once spoke out on the "child abuse incident" in kindergartens, saying that the physical and mental harm of children and the negative public opinion caused by the incident, even if it is a 1 in 1,000 chance, not only need to attract enough attention, but also should be rectified at the source.

In fact, the Criminal Law Amendment (IX), implemented as early as 2015, has criminalized the crime of ill-treating wards. The crime of abusing a person under guardianship or caregiver refers to the act of abusing a person under guardianship or care, such as minors, the elderly, the sick, and the disabled, and abusing a person under guardianship or care, and the circumstances are egregious. Whoever commits this crime shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention.

For example, relatively hidden child abuse, such as needlesticks, often does not constitute minor injuries and is difficult to identify as a crime, with a maximum of fines and 15 days of administrative detention. The revised criminal law has grown "teeth", and many kindergarten teachers who abuse children in recent years have paid the price they deserve.

Childhood injuries may take a lifetime to heal. Children belong to the future and belong to tomorrow, but to protect children we need to start today, weave a tight child protection net, guard the bottom line of "early childhood", and hope that every child can thrive in the sun.
