A female kindergarten teacher in Xinghua, Jiangsu Province, burned seven children on the face with an electric iron on Tuesday just because they chatted in her class, the Yangtze Evening News reported today.
The 30-year-old teacher, surnamed Li, has been detained by police and the Banqiao Kindergarten where she worked promised to send the hurt children to Shanghai for better treatment and pay all their medical cost.
Cheng Sixia, a woman in Xinghua, found her six-year-old son, surnamed Cui, got red cheeks when she went to the kindergarten to pick him up on Tuesday.
She asked for the cause and the boy's teacher said Cui had a fall in the toilet, but Cheng didn't buy that.
Her son was not alone. Other six children were also burned on the face by the iron as punishment for chatting in the class. Two of them were even the children of two local policemen.
Eventually, Cheng learned from one of Cui's classmates that her son was actually hurt by "something that was used for ironing cloths."
A parent told the newspaper that when Yi was punishing the children with the iron, another teacher happened to pass by. Hearing children crying, she rushed into the room and snatched the iron from Yi's hand.
The Xinghua city government said yesterday in a press conference that Yi used a mouse-sized iron designed for insole ironing. She wanted to frightened the children with it as she had switched it off for a while and thought it was no longer that hot.
The kindergarten headmaster, surnamed Tong, said that iron was not a kindergarten property and she had no idea where Yi got it from.
