A Chinese kindergarten teacher was arrested after she was caught kicking and beating students in security camera footage, UK MailOnline reported.
The teacher, known as Ms. Liu, was charged on Monday afternoon in Beijing and the matter is being investigated by a special team formed by the local education authority.
In the recorded footage, Liu is seen attacking several students after her strict regime was not followed by them.
Although the video wasn't released by the Beijing school officials initially, they were forced to release it when evidence of the abuse surfaced.
Parents confronted school administrators with doctors' notes and pictures of their children's injuries to prove the assault Liu had carried on the students, according to UK MailOnline.
Liu allegedly screamed and appeared to be in shock when the video was replayed back to her, the South China Morning Post reported.
"I can't believe I did this!" she claimed.
A father, identified as Mr. Ma, said he discovered bruises on his son's leg as he was bathing him one evening.
"Since last October, I saw bruises on my son's legs constantly. My son has woken up crying several times at night, screaming, don't hit me," he recalled.
This incident follows an unfortunate trend of teacher abuse cases across China.
"In October 2012, images emerged of a teacher holding a primary school student by the ears," UK MailOnline reported. "In July 2013, video emerged of a teacher dragging a terrified female pupil out of the classroom, kicking her to the floor and then pushing her up against a wall."
"Most shocking, however, were reports that emerged in November 2013 of a ten-year-old boy committing suicide by jumping from a 30th floor window after his teacher told him to jump out of the building when he failed to complete an assigned task."
