Central News Agency (CNA reporter Shen Ruifeng, Keelung, July 3) A private kindergarten in Qidu District, Keelung City, recently experienced a suspected child abuse case. The city government today announced the first phase of its administrative investigation results, imposing a NT$400,000 fine on each of the two involved childcare providers, permanently barring them from employment, and ordering the kindergarten to suspend admissions for 1 year. A parent recently posted on Facebook stating that after their child returned home from school, their appetite was unusually poor at dinner. While bathing the child, they discovered large bruises on the upper arm. Initially thinking the child had accidentally injured themselves while playing with classmates at school, the parent questioned the child, who then revealed, "I didn't sleep during nap time, and the teacher pinched me." Following the incident, other parents also reported that their children had suffered abuse. The city government has proactively filed charges and will pursue the responsibility of the childcare providers and the institution strictly and swiftly. An investigation has been initiated according to regulations, and the kindergarten has been ordered to immediately remove the involved childcare personnel from teaching duties. Furthermore, the kindergarten's principal was fined NT$30,000 by the city government for failing to report the incident in a timely manner, in violation of the "Act for the Protection of Children and Youths Rights and Interests."

It was determined that the two involved childcare providers violated the Childcare Service Personnel Act, with serious implications.
