Recently, a 10-second clip showing a kindergarten teacher allegedly physically abusing a child inside the classroom went viral
In the clip, the teacher was seen shoving the child and seemingly kicking him then picking him up before shoving him again in front of the other kids in the classroom. She was also heard shouting at the child.
The clip also showed that there was another woman present during the incident, however, with her back turned against the camera, she appeared to be doing nothing to stop the teacher from abusing the child.
The rest of the kids were seen standing around observing the incident in shocked silence.
It's not clear who recorded the incident, but the school has since reportedly dismissed the teacher amidst a growing public outrage
The clip was uploaded on several Facebook groups and pages, where thousands of netizens have chastised the teacher for her abusive behaviour.
Some even wondered what else the teacher might have done that was not recorded.

He said that police will be calling up the teacher to assist with their investigation.
