This picture was one of more than 700 pictures found on the online album that belonged to the kindergarten teacher Yan Yanhong. This twenty year old uncertified teacher also showed pictures where she had taped the mouths of her young students and in other states of misery.It is cases like this that have people both in and out of China calling for changes to the child protection laws of China. This crime can only be punished under a charge for picking fights and provoking trouble because it is only considered a child abuse if one of the attackers is a relative and could only be a crime of intentional harm if the child was hurt more badly. This women was fired and with her current charge she may face up to 7 years but considering the evidence there is against her cruelty this seems like a small punishment. Stopping crimes like this in the future are important, and the importance of having licensed teachers also comes into question.
