South Korea – A CCTV footage of a toddler falling to the ground because of the hard slap she received from her teacher has caused outrage in Seoul.
As seen in the clip, the childcare teacher is forcing the girl to eat kimchi. But when toddler spits it out, she instantly hits the pupil’s face so hard she drops to the floor.
According to CNN, the 33-year-old teacher named Yang was arrested on Thursday.
She admitted for slapping the child but claimed it was part of discipline to correct the pupil’s bad habit.
The investigators and police are working hand in hand in taking more evidences from parents and 16 other children who were reported to have the same experience with the teacher. The CCTV footage taken from the day care facility within the last 24 hours was already secured to check on more charges to file against the teacher.
Reports say that Yang had been fired from her previous day care job because she locked her student in a room.
Today, the day care centre already stopped operating. The head teacher also apologized to the parents and children for what happened.
Meanwhile, shocked residents took to social media their disgust by posting the personal details of the teacher and head teacher.
Parents also took turns in standing outside the day care centre holding a signage that says, “No to violence against children”.
With what has happened, The Korea Herald said that the Saenuri Party had pledged to increase child care regulations.
