A KINDERGARTEN teacher admitted pricking 63 "disobedient" children in her class with an empty syringe when she appeared in court in southwest China's Yunnan Province on Thursday.
Sun Qiqi, a teacher at the Xihu Nursery, was charged at the Jianshui County People's Court with endangering public security by dangerous methods, according to a court statement. No verdict was given by the court.
Sun confessed to pricking the children on their hands, buttocks and feet with an empty syringe to make them "behave."
"As a medical graduate, she should have known her acts could cause the spread of infections," said the statement.
In a health checkup conducted by the local health authorities, all the victims tested negative for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.
An expert report said Sun suffered from a personality disorder, but that she should take responsibility for her actions.
The parents of the children have demanded Sun pay 1.8 million yuan (US$264,000) in compensation.
