Terrible, toddler at a daycare in China was tortured by a janitor officer

News24xx.com -  Two videos from a Shanghai daycare center ie Ctrip, made outraged parents across the country. That daycare center is located inside the Shanghai headquarters building of Ctrip, a leading Chinese travel agency. The company established in early 2016 for the benefit of its employees. It cared for more than a hundred children, all below the age of three.

In the first video, a female staff member is seen forcefully wrenching a schoolbag from a little girl before pushing her and watching her stumble backwards, hit her head on a table, and fall to the ground. Two other workers watch as this happens and fail to do anything.

In the second video, a child is seen crying after being fed something out of a tube by the same female staff member. Parents later discovered that the substance was wasabi. Wasabi is a spice traditionally prepared from a plant from the cabbage family. Its root is used as a spice and has a very strong flavor.

"My daughter is only 17 months old and you fed her half a tube of wasabi in half an hour... she pooped six times in an hour!" one parent cried out after watching the disturbing surveillance footage.

That daycare later held a press conference where furious parents attacked the female worker. Before vengefully with feeding her wasabi.

On stage, the worker desperately tried to apologize to parents. She was later confirmed to be not a teacher at the daycare, but a janitor. When asked why a janitor would be allowed to discipline the kids, daycare center manager Zhang Baobao replied that all staff members at the center were asked to proactively take care of the children.

Following the scandal, Ctrip has fired the employees directly involved and closed down the daycare as authorities in Shanghai have opened up an investigation. In the meantime, parents at the company who need to take care of their young children have been offered two weeks paid leave.

Most media reports have accused Ctrip of negligence, urging the government to do more to strengthen regulations governing daycare services in China.

In its response to the scandal, Ctrip has said that back in January 2016, the Women's Federation of Shanghai paid a visit to its headquarters to inquire about a partnership to establish a daycare center for employees.

The daycare opened in February 2016 for just five days before being abruptly shut down by the Education Bureau of Changning District because it had not acquired the proper licenses. It reopened later that year and had been in business until this latest scandal broke out. In the aftermath, the Education Bureau has said that the daycare still had not been registered and had no license.

On Wednesday, the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee on Children and Women announced the preliminary results of its investigation, charging the daycare with a severe case of child abuse that had caused a tremendous negative impact on society. The committee also said that the daycare's manager had been detained.

Earlier, Ctrip announced that two of the company's vice presidents had also been suspended pending an internal investigation.
