A shocking video showing a daycare teacher in Chachoengsao pushing a toddler's head to make them sleep has sparked widespread outrage and cries for urgent childcare reforms.

 

The distressing footage, initially shared on Facebook, reveals the teacher forcefully pressing down on the head of a two-and-a-half-year-old as the child tries to sit up, igniting a fierce backlash from parents.

 

The child's mother, Sarunporn, expressed her anger and disbelief after a friend provided her with the video. Her son had been attending the daycare for just two weeks and had consistently shown reluctance, which she dismissed as typical at first. This alarming video, however, offers a possible reason for his unwillingness to attend each morning.

 

Following the video's release, other parents have come forward with similar grievances but without evidence to back up their claims. A collective of concerned parents plan to ask the daycare's director to review all available CCTV footage to verify if other children have suffered similar mistreatment.

 

Meanwhile, Siripong Wongphokinhiran, head of the Chachoengsao Children’s and Family Shelter, has confirmed receipt of an initial complaint from Sarunporn. He intends to accompany her in addressing the daycare centre's management to investigate the issue thoroughly, focusing not only on this incident but on the broader childcare environment.

 

In a related incident, a mother in Nakhon Ratchasima province has raised allegations against a teacher for pinching her second-grade daughter, leaving visible bruises.

 

Nijwaree, the upset mother of Wanmai, stated that her daughter relayed the painful encounter after returning, visibly distressed at the thought of returning to school. She seeks justice, demanding the school investigate the allegations.

 

Both situations highlight the urgent need for stricter oversight in educational institutions to ensure the safety and well-being of children. Authorities are urged to act swiftly, providing anxious parents with reassurance that their children are in safe, nurturing environments.
