Well said. I began to suspect that the victim could be a special needs child who gets on the nerve of the unfortunate teacher. When is the government going to help the poor Childcare teachers or early childhood teachers in this field if parents denied their children have special needs or are suspected of having special needs. I think there is more to it in this case. Do not blame it 100% on the teacher. The victim could be the catalyst to cause the teacher to turn into an abuser. It's time help is given to those children suspected with special needs in Childcare. Get a trained special needs educator in every Childcare to cope with the demand of increasingly alarming numbers of children who are suspected to have special needs but parents just flatly denied or can't faced the truth.

In my books, that would be even more wrong of the teacher. It does not excuse the teacher one single bit. She is by all accounts a trained and experienced teacher. She may not know how to handle a special needs child but she should know when to walk away. She, an adult, should know how to control her own actions. She should know that never in any circumstances should she be so rough in her handling of a child.

Yes she may not be a habitual abuser. She could have lost her cool for that moment for whatever reasons but wrong is wrong. She hurt a child, there is no excuse for that.
