Police and education authorities in southwest China are investigating a claim made by a mother that a kindergarten forced her three-year-old daughter to eat human faeces.
The woman, surnamed Li, said her daughter was forced by her teacher at Binbin Kindergarten in Kunming, Yunnan province, to eat faeces in the toilet because the teacher said the girl did not “study hard and eat lunch properly”, news portal Thepaper reported.
Besides that, Li said the female teacher beat her daughter’s arms and buttocks and forbade her from leaving the toilet.
Several other teachers were also present, shoving the girl, according to the mother.
Li said she took her daughter to the kindergarten the next day to lodge a complaint. Some other children told her that they saw the girl was forced to eat faeces by a teacher with the surname Rong, and that the girl had to eat it twice.
