A 27-year-old teacher at a Beijing kindergarten has admitted to beating her pupils after security camera footage emerged that apparently shows her kicking and screaming at the children, local media have reported.
The teacher was arrested yesterday and the education commission of Chaoyang district has formed a special team to investigate the matter, according to The Beijing News.
Parents had previously found bruises on their children and noticed changes in their behaviour. About 20 parents, some clutching doctors' papers and pictures showing the apparent abuse, gathered in the morning outside the school along Qingyuan Road demanding to see the principal and view the camera footage.
