Chinese Teacher Repeatedly Hits 2-Year-Old Little Girl
ChinaSmack recently reposted a video that has been showing up on Chinese netizen blogs the last few days, and I figured I would rerepost it here.
The video shows a Chinese kindergarten teacher repeatedly pushing, pulling, and hitting a little girl. The girl’s mother got the recording from the school and posted it online.
The story, according to ChinaSmack’s translation of the mother’s post, is this:
I am already almost at my wit’s end, but I just want to get some justice for my child!!
My daughter is only two and a half years old, and attends Xuzhou City children’s art school [nursery/kindergarten]. On the morning of September 1st, she had a quarrel with another child in her class over a small stool. Allegedly, my daughter scratched that child’s hand. That child’s mother just so happens to be a teacher at the nursery, and when she heard what happened, she rushed over to vent anger for her daughter. That child’s mother, Teacher Chen, then not only shoved but also hit my daughter for 10 minutes, and throughout all of this, all of the other teachers uniformly stood by and did nothing, not a single person going forth to intervene.
After my daughter was hit, the kindergarten teacher even called me and said that my daughter hit bit the other child, and wanted me to take the child that was bitten to go get a rabies vaccination!
After rushing to the school, I had a quarrel with that child’s mother, and only after I had requested during the quarrel to watch the video footage did I learn how my daughter was hit. I no longer want to remember that heartbreaking scene, but I forcefully copied the video recording from the kindergarten, am posting it here, hoping to ask everyone to help me, using legal channels to safeguard our personal rights!
I know this is something nobody wants to see, but here is the video:
It’s obviously vile and terrible. And it’s shocking to actually see it being done.
But I have to point out that although this is a worse-than-normal case, it is by no means uncommon. This type of treatment is very common. It’s usually not this intense, but it can be at times. I’ve witnessed it. And so have many other foreign teachers.
And as for the exposure this video is getting, I doubt much will come of it. Maybe, maybe the teacher will be fired. Besides that, this will just be ignored.
There are probably government officials who are just happy this wasn’t another kindergarten stabbing.

I stopped halfway through the video. I would like to engage the Medieval practice of live horse-assisted quartering to fucking kill this c***.

This kind of stuff just confirms my depressive realism.

Why didn’t the other teachers intervene to stop this?

If they thought what was happening was wrong, then I assume they were frozen by crippling anxiety. The Chinese have a very time hard with confrontation and handling stressful or scary situations.
If that wasn’t the case, then it was because they simply didn’t see what was happening as wrong. Maybe a little excessive compared to their day-to-day interactions with the children, but not so excessive as to warrant interference.
Like most people in the world when it comes to evil, especially child abuse, they would rather pretend it wasn’t happening.
