Parents Get Angry at Teacher Who Forcefed Their Children Wasabi in Shanghai

Footage of toddlers being abused at the daycare center of China’s Ctrip company is widely circulating on Weibo, triggering anger amongst Shanghai parents and Chinese netizens. Surveillance footage of the abuse of toddlers at a company’s in-house kindergarten has surfaced on Chinese social media, leaving Shanghai parents and Weibo netizens shocked and outraged. The abuse occurred at the Shanghai daycare facilities of Chinese travel giant Ctrip. The footage, captured by surveillance cameras on November 1-3, shows how a female staff member forcefully takes off the backpack of a little girl and throws it away, after which she pushes the toddler to the ground.

Other fragments show how a staff member puts something – which was later confirmed to be wasabi – in the mouths of several toddlers, leaving them gasping and crying. A video of the incidents shared by Beijing News on Sina Weibo was shared almost 15.000 times on Wednesday, triggering some 20.000 comments. The topic #Ctrip Kindergarten# was viewed more than 26 million times. News site Sina reports that the Ctrips’s HR department received reports about alleged abuse from concerned staff at the daycare on November 3. The abuse was exposed on November 6 when surveillance footage was inspected by company staff. News of the abuse then quickly spread to parent support groups. Sohu writes that Weibo netizen @PrettySoldierHelloKitty (@美少女战士helloKitty) first exposed the videos online, after which they soon became trending. The daycare is home to five groups of around 20 children each. Their parents are all employees of Ctrip. Sixth Tone reported that the staff involved have since been fired and that the police is currently investigating the issue. On November 8, Ctrip organized an ‘apology meeting’ where the kindergarten’s staff members in question, kneeling to the ground, faced the outraged parents. Footage of this meeting also widely circulated online afterwards, showing parents crying and screaming.
