Kindergarten Teacher in China Feeds Vomit to 6-Year-Old After Child Throws Up, Saying "It's Good for the Body"

Kindergarten Teachers Consistently 'Ignore' Issues
Parents Report to Police Out of Frustration

Amid frequent child abuse incidents in childcare facilities in China, outrage has erupted after it was revealed that a kindergarten teacher forced a student who had vomited to eat the vomit again.

According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 24th, an incident occurred on the 15th of last month at a kindergarten in China where a 6-year-old child vomited and the teacher forcibly made the child eat it again.

At that time, pumpkin was served for lunch at the kindergarten, and the child vomited after overeating. The kindergarten teacher then insisted that the pumpkin was good for health and demanded the student eat it again. When the child refused, the teacher reportedly fed the vomit to the child directly.

At the time, pumpkin was served for lunch at the kindergarten, and the child vomited after overeating. The kindergarten teacher insisted that pumpkin is good for the body and demanded the student eat it again. When the child refused, the teacher reportedly fed the vomit to the child directly.

This fact was revealed during the process of the parents asking the child after noticing the child's clothes were dirty after attending the kindergarten.

The parents immediately demanded the release of the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the incident, but the kindergarten refused. Consequently, the child's parents reported the matter to the police, and a search and seizure operation secured video evidence of the teacher's misconduct.

The local education bureau reportedly demanded an apology to the parents from the kindergarten and the dismissal of the teacher responsible for the incident.

Chinese netizens who learned of the news reportedly responded with comments such as "This is typical child abuse" and "If the teacher vomits food, they should eat it again too."

29 Needle Marks Found on Body of 3-Year-Old Child

The issue is that incidents of child abuse in childcare facilities in China are not isolated cases. In China, because childcare workers fear being reported if they physically discipline children for not listening, they often cause pain to children by secretly pricking them with needles or similar objects.

Meanwhile, child abuse incidents in childcare facilities in China continue unabated. In 2021, 29 needle marks were found on the body of a 3-year-old child attending a kindergarten in Shanxi Province, China, sparking controversy.

The problem is that child abuse accidents in childcare facilities in China are not isolated incidents. Because childcare teachers fear being reported if they physically discipline children who do not obey, they often inflict pain on children using needles or similar methods that do not leave visible marks.

In November 2017, a teacher at Honghuanglan (紅黃藍), a large child education company kindergarten in Beijing, was arrested and sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison for stabbing four students with needles because they did not obey. The teacher's kindergarten qualification was also suspended for 5 years.

This kindergarten teacher was suspected of committing child abuse by stabbing children with needles and administering drugs containing hallucinogenic substances, which caused an uproar in Beijing at the time. In April 2017, another kindergarten in the same chain had an incident where a teacher assaulted a student.

In response, Chinese authorities announced related regulations stipulating that teachers who commit abuse against students in kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools will be banned from working in education for life.
