"Why Aren't You Sleeping?" Wiping Face... Child-Abusing Daycare Teacher
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Allegations of child abuse have been raised at a daycare center in Jeongeup, Jeonbuk, prompting the police to launch an investigation.
The Jeongeup Police Station announced on the 6th that they have booked daycare teacher A without detention on charges of physical and emotional abuse of a 5-year-old child (violation of the Child Welfare Act).
On the 7th of last month, A is accused of forcefully pulling the 5-year-old child under their care, causing the child to fall, and harshly wiping the child's face with their hand.
A is also accused of emotionally abusing the child by forcibly laying the child down and covering the child with a blanket up to the eyes because the child did not take a nap.
The incident came to light when a parent was reviewing the daycare center's closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage during a meeting with the director, who reportedly reported the matter directly to the police.
