[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] A child attending a daycare center in Naju, Jeollanam-do, was found with bruises on her arms and legs, prompting her parents to raise suspicions and the police to launch an investigation.


According to the Jeonnam Police Agency on the 17th, the police are currently investigating daycare teacher A on suspicion of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes (aggravated punishment for child abuse by workers at child welfare facilities).


A is accused of physically abusing B, a 26-month-old (2 years old) girl, at a daycare center in Naju last January.


After B's parents reviewed CCTV footage, it was revealed that A was caught abusing B.


A reportedly patted B's chest while putting her down for a nap, but when the force increased, the child burst into tears. On another occasion, when B was whining, A is believed to have pushed her.



The police plan to analyze the CCTV footage to investigate the exact circumstances.
