A four-year-old child in India suffered severe burns to her bottom after she was forced to sit on a hot metal playground slide which had been heated up by the midday sun. The young girl was deliberately made to sit on the boiling hot metal as a horrific punishment for wetting herself during class. Police have filed cruelty charges against the school teaching staff in the city of Eluru, situated in the north-eastern India's Andhra Pradesh State. The school authorities refused to take action against the teacher even after the parents complained, forcing the family to report the horrific incident to the police.
Following the parent's report, the police filed child cruelty cases against the teacher and the principal. A protest was also held by locals, who demanded swift action was taken against the school authorities for failing to report the incident.
Rights activist, Achut Rao said: 'Teachers do not have the right training to deal with children and the issues related to them. This teacher isn't qualified to be with the children if she doesn't understand a small issue like this.'
The girl's parents, who were leading the protest, said: 'Is it a crime to go to the toilet several times a day? This teacher is too cruel to keep her job if she can inflict such an inhuman punishment on a small girl.'
Soon after the incident came to light, local officials temporarily shut down the school, following orders from the Andhra Pradesh Human Resource Development Ministry.
