PHOTOS: Kindergarten teacher fired after photos of her abusing young students for ‘a moment of fun’ emerge
A photo that shows a Chinese kindergarten teacher holding a small boy by the ears, causing the child to scream in pain, triggered a storm of criticism among netizens after it was uploaded to a popular Chinese social media website on Wednesday.
The photo shows a smiling teacher suspending the boy by the ears went viral on Wednesday and was the most searched and commented-on topic on Sina Weibo, a Chinese microblogging service. The image was apparently taken by another teacher at the school, but it is unclear if the teacher was a willing participant.
It was the second time in a day that Chinese Internet users expressed outrage via social media channels over instances of teacher-caused child abuse, after a report on Sina said that a 5-year-old girl was slapped 70 times in a half-hour span by a female teacher. Four other children were reportedly beaten by the same woman.
The woman in the photo was identified as Yan Yanhong, who was described as an unlicensed teacher by state-run media of the coastal Zhejiang Province city of Wenling. It was also reported that Yan said she was abusing the kid “for a moment of fun.” Click below for full story -

I live in China and I think this is very very bad. I can not understand why a teacher would even think about doing something so hurtful to a child.
