The two educators, identified as Ms. Chen and Ms. Lin, are accused of physically and emotionally abusing children at the preschool, which is located in the Xinyi District. The alleged abuse took place over a period of several months, starting in early 2023. The prosecutors have filed charges against Ms. Lin, and the case is currently under investigation.

The parents were shocked and outraged by what they saw. The director, however, refused to release the footage, citing privacy concerns. This refusal to release the footage sparked a debate about the balance between the rights of children and the privacy of individuals. The parents, who were determined to expose the abuse, continued to press for the footage. They argued that the children’s safety and well-being were at stake, and that the footage was crucial evidence in their fight for justice. The director’s refusal to release the footage, coupled with the parents’ persistent demands, led to a legal battle. The parents filed a lawsuit against the preschool director, alleging that the footage was public record and should be released.
