[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The prosecution has requested an arrest warrant for a daycare teacher in Ulsan who is accused of child abuse, including stepping on the thigh of a 6-year-old child for not eating well.

On the 17th, the Ulsan District Prosecutors' Office announced that it had requested a pre-arrest warrant against teacher A at a daycare center in Dong-gu for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes.

According to the prosecution, A allegedly abused a six-year-old male student from September to October last year by pressing down on his thigh with their foot and throwing him because he did not eat well.

At the time, the victim's parents posted on the Blue House National Petition Board that A had caused the child to vomit and did not allow him to go to the bathroom, resulting in him urinating in his pants, indicating signs of abuse.

When it was revealed that A is the daughter of the daycare center director, more than 130,000 people agreed with the petition.

The police investigated the daycare center and referred three teachers including A and the director responsible for management to the prosecution in November last year. The pre-trial detention hearing is scheduled to be held on the afternoon of the 18th at the Ulsan District Court.
