HANGZHOU, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- The principal of a private kindergarten in east China'sZhejiang Province has been removed from her post following a child abuse scandal.
The head, who has not been named, is a woman in her 30s, authorities confirmed onSaturday.
Authorities in Wenling City said they have transferred staff from other publickindergartens to the Blue Peacock Kindergarten to help it operate.
There was anger among the Chinese public after a picture posted on the Internet onWednesday showed a teacher, a woman surnamed Yan, holding up a student by hisears.
The child was seen crying in pain. Yan, who was smiling in the picture, reportedly saidshe did it "just for fun."
Other photographs showing a child being placed upside-down in a rubbish bin andanother child whose mouth was sealed with adhesive tape were also uploaded by Yanand another teacher.
Yan was detained on suspicion of provoking a disturbance, with the other teacher, whotook the pictures, being placed under a seven-day administrative detention.
Local education authorities have ordered the kindergarten's teachers to apologize tothe parents of all of the students in the class where the incident took place.
Psychologists have been arranged to talk to the children involved.
The scandal came just a few days after a female teacher in north China's ShanxiProvince reportedly slapped a five-year-old kindergarten girl in the face for more than10 minutes.
Educators and experts said the spate of child abuse incidents underlined theinsufficient funding, lax supervision in kindergartens as well as a lack of laws penalizingabusive practices.
