In Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, a kindergarten teacher at the Jinhao Ting Xinxing Kindergarten in Zengcheng District punished two students by forcing them to collide with each other, resulting in one child having a nosebleed.
On December 4th, netizens reported that a teacher at the Jinhao Ting Xinxing Kindergarten in Zengcheng District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, punished two students by making them collide with each other, causing one child to have a nosebleed.
According to a report by Huashang News, in a group chat named “Haoyue Class of Jinhao Ting Xinxing Kindergarten,” parents revealed that two children were talking to each other during a rehearsal for a sports event. A teacher grabbed the heads of the two children and made them collide, resulting in one child having a nosebleed. A parent mentioned that after school, they approached the teacher involved to inquire about the situation, and she falsely claimed that the nosebleed was due to dry weather and not drinking water, denying the incident of harming the child. It was only the next day after reviewing the surveillance footage that the true situation was revealed.
The parent further stated that another child was forcefully brought back in line by the teacher by grabbing their hair because they weren’t standing properly. Additionally, a student who was chatting during nap time had their hair pulled by the teacher and their head covered with a blanket, with the student struggling twice to get up, but being pushed back down.
A video shared by a parent showed a child holding two dolls to demonstrate the incident, “Both of us were standing, then the teacher made us face each other.” The child then used the two dolls in hand to collide with each other, “and then one student had a nosebleed after three collisions.”
Furthermore, several parents in the group chat expressed that the teacher involved had a history of physically punishing and beating children, and some parents had previously reported this to the authorities. Screenshots from the parent group chat indicated that multiple parents claimed their children had been physically punished and beaten.
According to the report, on December 5th, when contacted the Education Bureau of Zengcheng District in Guangzhou, staff stated that they were aware of the incident and had received directives from higher authorities.
On the same morning of December 5th, staff at the Jinhao Ting Xinxing Kindergarten in Zengcheng District mentioned that the school had expelled the teacher involved.

Currently, the teacher, assistant teacher, and caregiver involved have been dismissed, and the principal has been removed from their position.
