[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] A complaint has been filed alleging that a teacher abused a child at an English kindergarten in Seoul, prompting the police to launch an investigation.


According to the police on the 7th, the Women and Juvenile Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has booked and is investigating former kindergarten teacher A on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes (child abuse).


A is suspected of repeatedly abusing B, a student at a private kindergarten in Mapo-gu earlier this year, including forcefully pushing him and bullying him to prevent him from interacting with other children. Additionally, there is evidence that other students' leftover food was made to be eaten by B.



The police, who began the investigation following a complaint from the victim child's parents, are examining the exact circumstances of the incident by analyzing the kindergarten's closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.
