A PRINCIPAL at an unlicensed kindergarten in a southwest China city buried a two-year-old child who choked to death during lunch and then claimed the boy was missing in an attempt to conceal the accident.
Principal Tang Chengyan found the toddler Liu Yunxiang choking while eating lunch in the kindergarten in Yuxi City in Yunnan Province on March 31. Liu later died after he was rushed to Yuxi People's Hospital. To cover up the accident, Tang and another worker buried the boy's body on a hill and reported the child as missing, Yunnan.cn reported yesterday.
Tang and the worker received administrative detention for eight and five days respectively and were fined for a false report and giving fake testimony, police said.
An autopsy found rice in Liu's esophagus and police have ruled out any foul play in his death. The hospital also had a report of his death, Li Wei, director of a local police station, told the website.
Liu's father Liu Zongquan reported to police that there was a blood stain on Tang's motorcycle on April 1. Tang didn't confess until police took a sample of the blood.
"The kindergarten operated illegally and teachers didn't have proper qualifications," a deputy director at the district's education bureau told the website.
