More cases of teachers abusing children exposed


July 20th, 2013 | Author: Contributions



A primary 6 boy was allegedly pinned on a school desk by
his neck. This was done by his teacher.The incident happened on Tuesday, July 2
at about 10am in an elite school in the east of Singapore.

He had gone for classes late as he was not feeling well, and his mother was
shocked to see his teacher chase him into the classroom. She claims she saw the
teacher pinning her son on a desk by his neck.
Tay Weiming’s father, 63, and
his mother made a police report, complained to the Ministry of Education and
also alerted Lianhe Wanbao.

There was another case reported in Stomp I think, of a primary school boy
being made to stand in a corner for 3 hours without food, drink or break to go
to the toilet and with a paper bag on his head. Punishing a child for bad
behaviour is acceptable but it must be reasonable and should not go over the
limit especially for primary school children. Forbidding a child to go to the
toilet, without food or water is cruel, wicked and inhuman. Unacceptable for
adults to dish such punishment to children unless these adults are from some
primitive tribes that have yet to be civilised.

Harsh punishment, roughing up children, yelling at young children, and
handling them in a threatening manner not only frighten them, they instilled
fear in them. What the shit are these adults thinking, that they can harass
young children without harming them emotionally and psychologically? My
impression is that these are not only insecure adults but likely to be mentally
sick or just unfit to take care of children.

This is only the tip of the iceberg, a few cases that were reported after the
My First Skool case was exposed. Today another mentally sick teacher abused a 5
year old girl by making her standing naked in front of her classmates in a PAP
Community Foundation Centre. She even swung her against the white board. And she
was given a 21 probation on the ground that she too was an abused child. What a
sick joke! What a sick mitigation excuse!

Is our teaching profession going mad? Or is our society going sick? Don’t the
principals or MOE put their ears on the ground to find out what is happening?
Oh, the second case mentioned above was dealt by a principal. No wonder
Singaporeans are so docile, so authority fearing. They must have been mentally
castrated from young in our schools.

The MOE must take a stand on this and get rid of sadistic adults that are
unsuitable to take care of children. They will do more harm than good and the
earlier they are removed the safer it is for the children. There is an urgent
need to do some spring cleaning for the well being and safety of young children.
Stop wasting time on cleaning hawker centres.

We need to guard against pyschopaths walking around as teachers. A serious
personality and pyschiatric assessment must be conducted on all teachers. Though
this may not weed out all of them, at least a big chunk could be taken out
early. It is better to be safe than sorry. Subsequently, schools and pre
schools, nurseries, kindergartens must have a continuous programme to monitor
the teachers to ensure that they are safe for the children. There is an honest
and naïve assumption that teachers are all normal people, love children and can
be trusted in their entirety with the children in their care. They could be
monsters and little devils in disguise.

Wake up and stop being complacent and think that every human bean is ok if he
or she calls herself a teacher. Even one in a robe is committing all kinds of
crimes behind the robe. Our children need to be protected from their teachers.
Our preschools, kindergartens and nurseries must not be turned into frightening
places for our children.
