Cops investigating report against teacher for alleged child abuse

 

SHAH ALAM: Police are investigating a teacher for alleged child abuse after a video showed her throwing a student twice on the ground.

"A police report has been made by the child's parents.

"The matter is currently being investigated by the Criminal Investigations Department. More details will be shared later," said Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Baharudin Mat Taib when contacted Friday (March 26).

He added that the police have identified the female teacher involved.

The 10-second clip that had gone viral showed the suspect throwing a young student to the ground, in front of a full classroom.

She can be heard shouting at the child before throwing him again, while the other children watched in stunned silence.

Another woman can be seen in the video, but she did nothing to prevent the teacher from throwing the child twice.

Commenters on the video posting have condemned the teacher's action.

It is believed that the school has already taken action by dismissing the teacher. - Star
