Rise in child abuse reports requires action

The number of reported incidents of child abuse in China is increasing at a worrying pace. In the latest incident, in Fangshan district, Beijing, some parents informed the police on Tuesday that their kids had been pricked with needles at a local kindergarten. Three teachers are being questioned by police. Comments:

Teaching is a respected profession, hence those who want to be a teacher should be prepared to devote themselves to their career as a role model. Otherwise, they are not supposed to apply for or take the job. Such being said, education departments at all levels have to make more proactive efforts to supervise and manage teachers, instead of implementing untimely measures after child abuse has been revealed.
