The kindergarten teacher beats the child, and the picture is distressing
Recently, a video of a kindergarten beating a child from Yucheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province has spread wildly on the Internet, and the scene in the picture is heart-wrenching, and has aroused deep public concern about the Law on the Protection of Minors and the responsibilities of teachers. Let's face up to this terrible incident, discuss the legal responsibilities of teachers, and call on the whole society to jointly protect the legitimate rights and interests of children.
In the video, a female teacher in black treats immature children like enemies. She slapped the boy on the head violently, ignoring his cries of "no", and even tried to forcibly take off his pants. What's even more outrageous is that she actually stomped on the boy's face with her foot, forcing the child to apologize again and again in pain. The boy was forced to kneel and "bow" to the teacher, accompanied by the woman's laughter, and could not bear to look at him. The child was forced to lie on the ground, and the teacher sat on him, forced the object into the child's mouth, and forced him to swallow. These pictures all expose the teacher's dehumanized behavior, which makes people feel righteous indignation.
Challenge the bottom line of the Law on the Protection of Minors
The female teacher in the video blatantly trampled on the law, and her behavior seriously violated the provisions of the Law on the Protection of Minors on the prohibition of corporal punishment, disguised corporal punishment and insulting the human dignity of minors. This violence not only causes direct physical harm to the children, but also leaves deep wounds in their young minds that will not heal and seriously violates their basic rights.
The teachers involved will face multiple legal liabilities
In the face of such a terrible incident, the law will never sit idly by. According to relevant laws and regulations, the teachers involved not only need to bear administrative responsibilities, such as revocation of teaching qualifications, lifetime ban from engaging in education work and other severe punishments, but also face civil liability. Victim children and their families have the right to demand compensation from teachers for medical expenses, mental damage solatium and other economic losses and mental losses, kindergarten as the main body of supervision, if there is management negligence, should also bear joint and several liability.
The teachers involved will face severe legal sanctions
More critically, the teacher's actions may have violated the criminal law. Article 260-1 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates the crime of "abusing a person under guardianship or care", and a person who has guardianship or care duties for a minor who abuses a minor under guardianship or care, and the circumstances are heinous, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or short-term detention. Combined with the images presented in the video, it is likely that the teacher involved has constituted this crime and should be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law. In addition, if the act results in minor injuries to the child, it may also be suspected of constituting the crime of intentional injury.
Shared concern for minors
We need to understand that every child is a treasure of the family, the future of the country, and their rights and interests cannot be violated. We should always maintain a high degree of vigilance against child abuse incidents, actively report and expose such illegal acts, and promote strict investigation and punishment by relevant departments. At the same time, we also call on the education department to strengthen the construction and supervision of teachers, improve teachers' professional quality and legal awareness, and ensure the purity and safety of the educational environment.
In the name of the law, defend the future of every child
For this kindergarten incident, we must use the strongest condemnation and the most severe legal means to investigate all the legal responsibilities of the teachers involved, including criminal liability and civil liability. Only in this way can we demonstrate the dignity of the law, seek justice for those children who have been harmed, and alert the whole society to jointly protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors, so that every child can grow up healthy and happy under the sun.
