The man, his name not revealed, was punished with 10 days of administrative detention and fined 500 yuan (US$82) for beating the young girl with a stick wrapped with cloth, authorities said today.
The girl's mother complained to her husband about the girl's poor performance at school on Tuesday and the man decided to give her a lesson. Police said the girl was slightly hurt.
