Chinese kindergarten principal sacked for child sex abuse
May 12, 2014
According to official sources on May 2, a Chinese kindergarten principal and an education official were dismissed over a child sex abuse scandal in northwestern Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the latest in a slew of such cases in China. The principal of a Haojiaqiao township kindergarten in Lingwu City, and the director of security at the Lingwu education bureau were sacked on April 29. Teacher Huang, 53, sexually assaulted several girls in his office under the guise of tutoring when he worked for the kindergarten. The teacher was arrested on April 19 and the case is still under investigation. A number of child sex abuse cases by teachers have come to light in China recently. Two teachers have already been sentenced to death. A court in east China’s Anhui province has sentenced Gao Daosheng, 59, to death for raping and molesting first and second graders in a school in the city of Wuhu. Gao invited the girls to “play games,” asking them to take off their clothes and lie on desks and cover their eyes with cloth before raping them. In another case, Yang Shifu, a 56-year-old primary school teacher in Nanyang in central China’s Henan province was sentenced to death with two years’ reprieve for raping primary school children.
