The teacher, Lam Thi Bach Nga, who is the owner of Ti Bo Kindergarten in Ho Chi Minh City, was caught by the security camera on April 11.
She was filmed hitting the boy before forcing him to eat the fruit by pushing him to the ground and sitting on top of him, the news outlet bodu365.cn reported.
“Seeing my kid being pressed down and beaten up, I felt very sad. I trembled all over when I saw the video clip,” said the boy’s mother, Thanh Hong.
She said her son’s physical health is now stable, but he remains restless and uneasy.
