School sacks teacher caught assaulting kindergartners, offers legal help to parents in prosecuting her

A school in Nonthaburi province on Friday apologised to the parents of kindergarten students who were subjected to physical abuse by a teacher.

 

 

Sarasas Witaed Ratchaphruek School has also offered legal assistance to the parents whose children were ill-treated by the teacher.

 

This week, a group of parents found their children unhappy about going to school and had wounds on their bodies.

 

These incidents made them reach out to each other. On Thursday they approached the school authorities and suggested using a CCTV camera in the children’s classroom.

 

The video showed the children being physically assaulted many times by a teacher, who was named as Onuma Ploadprong. The teacher reportedly banged the children's heads on their desks, pushed them to the ground, and twisted their ears until they screamed in pain.

 

Other teachers too did not stop Onuma from abusing the children.

 

The school said Onuma was called for questioning and sacked after she confessed to her actions. The school said that it would punish other related persons as well.

 

The school representatives and parents have filed a complaint at Ratchaphruek Police Station in Nonthaburi on September 24.

 

The school also informed the parents that it would facilitate prosecution of the teacher and other related persons by providing a legal team.

 

More solutions will be discussed with the parents on September 29.

Why has school not been shut down?

The administrators are responsible for the actions of the employees, and should be prosecuted.

The other teachers who knew and did not intervene to protect the students and report the behaviour are as guilty as the teacher who was sacked.

 

 

Once this came to light, the school management appear to have acted quickly and decisively. 

 

How many classes, how many pupils and how many teachers are at the school?

 

And you seriously think the school should be closed, and all those people affected, because of the actions of one person?????

 

I wish all schools in such cases would act so decisively and follow the law.

Well done to this school. It is so refreshing to see actual action taken for a change. Those calling for the school to be shut down...Get a grip. The school has responded effectively and appropiately in the matter

How long has this behaviour been known about and tolerated?

The Woman has mental problems most likely caused by her own upbringing as large numbers of Thai Kids are subjected to brutality in their homes and grow up thinking it is normal to treat Children this way.   This far more common than we would perhaps like to think and it is usually happening not far from where we live.   It won't be happening in every School of course but there are plenty where it will be happening for sure.

So it would appear the school acted very quickly, instalilng cctv to gather evidence, then dismissing the teacher on the grounds of this evidence.

Agree, and strange there is no comment re police being called/being involved to investigate and lay charges.

Congratulations  to the collective efforts and outcome so far. That the School Administration is  supportive of prosecution strikes me as a first !

If I was a cynic I would say that's to avoid the school facing legal action itself.

Nothing cynical about the hypothesis, PR 101 damage control risk management. Backside covering for good reason

Good for the school. You are right of course. Rule number 1: CYOA.h

 

I suspect a lot of this sort of thing results in brave boys and men beating and killing girlfriends. They think it's what is acceptable. Starts at home and school. Kids see it, and copy what they see....
