Teacher at Korean Daycare Abuses Child with Brain Tumor, Sparking Outrage

A recent incident at a Korean daycare has ignited widespread outrage after a teacher was found abusing a three-year-old child with a brain tumor. The shocking revelations came to light following an investigation by YTN on July 23.

The abuse was discovered when the daycare teacher, under police investigation, was accused of repeatedly hitting the three-year-old child for refusing to take cold medicine. Despite the child's need for special care due to a brain tumor, the teacher ignored the parents' instructions and subjected the child to physical abuse.

CCTV footage shows the teacher attempting to give the child medicine, and when the child turned away, spilling it, the teacher hit the child's face with a wet wipe. The teacher continued the abusive behavior by striking the child's face while pretending to clean it, causing visible red marks.

Suspicious of their child’s injuries, the parents reviewed the daycare’s CCTV and uncovered the teacher’s disturbing actions. Further analysis of four months of footage by the police revealed this was not an isolated incident; the teacher had also abused another girl at the daycare, engaging in physical abuse and force-feeding children on 26 separate occasions over two months.

The teacher falsely recorded in the child's daily report that the injuries were from falling while playing. Under police custody, the teacher admitted to the abuse due to job stress. The case has been handed over to the prosecution, and while the daycare director was cleared of negligence, the parents plan to submit a petition demanding strict punishment for the teacher.
