A kindergarten teacher in China’s Zhejiang province has been fired after posting pictures of herself abusing her students.
One of the pictures shows 20-year-old Yan Yanhong smiling while lifting a screaming child off the ground by his ears. Another picture shows a student with his mouth taped shut and his hands taped to a desk.
There are more than 700 photos of Yanhong abusing her students.
Yanhong tried to justify her actions by saying the student whose ears she pulled did not misbehave again after the incident.
“I thought it was fun, so I pulled his ears and asked my coworker to take a photo. The 5-year-old boy was quite naughty and after the ear-pulling he didn’t make any mistakes the rest of the day,” she said.
The coworker, whose surname is Tong, told Yanhong the pictures would cause trouble if they were posted online.
“I never expected it would actually come true,” Tong said.
Yanhong bragged that she got the job at the school through her connections, and did not have a certificate to teach. An education official said the kindergartens have a shortage of teachers, “so the recruitment standard has to be lowered.”
The local education bureau said Yanhong has been dismissed, and the school is being “punished.”
The photos of Yanhong abusing her students emerged following another scandal. A teacher in China’s Shanxi province was caught on camera slapping her students multiple times.
Yanhong was detained for provocative and disturbing behavior, but will likely receive no further punishment. China does not have a law that deals with child abuse outside of the child’s family.
Warning: The photos below are extremely disturbing.


The thing that bothered me most is that she thought it was funny and did not see the seriousness of the abuse – is she crazy? I hope she never have kids.
Are there still people out there that don't realize you CAN get in trouble for posting pictures like this?
Fuckin' China…..
There is something seriously wrong with this woman. How could anyone think that abusing a child is funny? I feel for those children. They're going to be traumatized for a very long time. I agree with Garce. I hope and pray this woman will never have kids. One could only imagine what she'd do to her own children behind closed doors, if this is what she does to children that aren't hers in an open classroom. She needs to go to jail!
Someone should lift her off the ground by her ears and see if she likes it..
glad it's not my child or I would not be in here posting. I have no words for her behavior.
I understand that law are different and what not, but fuck man. how can she not know that she's bringing that kid serious pain?
I am going to go throw up now. That was horrible.
She was only fired? Ohhhh, she deserves a lot worse than that.
Wow, it's a crazy world.
man there are some sick people in this world, she better be glad it was not my child, I would stomp a mud hole in her ass real quick.
WTH???
reminds me of Matilda.
I really hope someone grabs her by her F@#$$%G ears & laughs while she's screaming! Please GOD do not let this woman ever have children of her own! She is a sick, sick individual & should never be allowed to pro create, & never, ever be around children unattended!
This is one of those times that you have to take the law in your own hands! I hope the parents do just that!
Definitely!
My gosh why? She coulda ripped off that boys ears, ripped the skin off that other little boys mouth, and caused the third child to get cuts or something from throwing him in the garbage! I can see some children misbehave in school, but who gives her the right to mistreat them like that? Tell their parents!
hahahahaha the first one is hecka funny! lol
I really want this disgraceful human being to be punished. Let's all go to China and kick her ass. What a bully and coward. She is a piece of human garbage.
There is no force in this universe that would be able to stop me from dismembering someone if they did this to my daughter.
Are you freaking kidding me? Just Fired? Come on people, how ABOUT PROSECUTED!
I agree that was disturbing. But I don't think she is mentally ill. People always throw the world crazy around, she is an adult bully. But not mentally ill.
Bryan Mills , yep nothing like more violence to stop violence. It's good to protect your child, but leave your testosterone at the door.
….wow. Seeing the photos….wtf…
When I went to catholic school in the 60's I remember one boy having his mouth taped and his hand taped to his desk. Boys would have to stand in trash cans and would frequently be spanked in front of the whole class. One nun even hit a girl once. One time in public school, about 1970, two boys wanted to change seats so I moved and all three of us had to stand with our noses against the wall for half an hour. I'm not sure what else she did but the ear pulling is the only one I haven't seen.

A true sociopath who has no empathy for others and doesn't care what they do to someone else.
I would F that lady up if she did that to my kid.
This is still a country that throws baby girls in the river.
I do not know if she is crazy or just plain stupid. Definitely a poster child for forced sterilization. She would be a horrible mother. This is also another sign of how crappy the system is over there.
and then walk it dry
Parents need to teach their brats repect for teachers and other adults. If the kids didn't misbehave, they wouldn't have been slapped or had their ears pulled. Like she said, after he got his ears pulled, he didn't misbehave again. You americans think you are better than everyone else but you're out of control kids proves otherwise.
If that was my kid I would track her down and do the same things to that crazy vile nut.then put it on facebook.and see how she likes it.
I would have whipped her ass really good for treating my child like that.
I think she should be duck taped to a wall while the kids pull ears!
Now THAT'S effing funny! 'Waaahhh! Waaaahhh!' Made my day!
They really new to enforce a law for child abuse outside of the family.
she needs a good beating…… that should wipe that white smile off of her overly friendly face.
This is sooo terriable. It's a shame they can't send her to jail. I'll admit I don't like it when kids scream in public and scare you half to death or parents who let their kids run wild in grocery stores but what this women did was sooo freakin wrong that she wouldn't know the line if it hit her in the face. They don't have child endangerment laws in China? WTF is up w/ that? This women is mental and needs to be behind bars and get a taste of her own medicane on how to behave. She is so freakin messed up. Don't chinese officals see how wrong and messed up this is? Those poor kids will be tramaized for life. My heart goes out to them and there families Hopefully there will be a way for them to get justice.
She is obviously a psychopath. Only somebody completely devoid of empathy and prone to extream violence would think what she did to those children was funny. That boy was lucky he was young and still light weight. If the same thing had been done to an older child she could have ripped his ears right off!
karma has a way of coming back around. she will get her due, it wont be pleasant.
I wished I lived in that country… near that teacher!
Ok… so pull HER up off the ground by her ears.
Let's see if it's still funny. I'm willing to bet it is. To us anyway.
Good grief, she's crazy. Absolutely insane.
What a nut job! She needs to be sterilized and have her teaching license taken away.
Dumb bitch needs to be shot in the head.
DID ANY OF YOU READ THIS —CHINA DOES NOT HAVE A LAW THAT DEALS WITH CHILD ABUSE OUTSIDE THE FAMILY.KEEP READING THIS AND EVERYTIME YOU READ IT GETS SICKER AND SICKER.——YOUR A BUNCH OF SICK BASTARDS CHINA.
China has different moral standards than Americans and others countries. They are more heavily raised on discipline. I think some people are just too sensitive. Back in the days of old, in China, there were much harsher ways of disciplining students and other children. This is just a mild example of punishment for misbehaving students compared to back in the day. The only stupid thing she did was post the pictures on the internet. I understand times are different now, but some people take things way too seriously. Its not like she severely injured the kids or anything worse. So take it easy people, you're all way too sensitive…
how sad any human could do this too someone O WAIT SHE IS AN ANIMAL. NO HUMAN COULD DO THIS TO A CHILD PUT THID B I T C H IN PRISON NOW.
Alright, the lifting the child by the ears went WAY too far! When I was a teacher in Beijing, there was one student who I really had troubles with, but the worst I did was scoot his chair outside of the classroom for 30 minutes! I would have loved to tape his mouth shut, but I know that it is wrong! This "teacher" needs to be taught a new lesson, and sent to prison!
ffs…
China is so messed up! She should be in prison , she posted pictures of herself and admitted it. What more do they need? If she is not prosecuted then China is just as bad for allowing this to happen. Pray for those poor children, God help them all .
dumb bitch. but we see the way they treat living things. be it kids or dogs. they need to be nuked
thanks, toyota, for the ads, RIGHT ON the pictures.
I don't promote violence, but give me a few hours alone with her then I'll be the one saying "She won't miss behave again".
Who is "they"? The people who fired and punished the teacher because they knew that abuse is wrong? The kids? My friends from China who have never eaten or mistreated animals before?
You?
I dont think it's so much the system as it is the person – although the system can definitely improve. I am encouraged that the chinese media took note and made it public but I wished Yanhong could honestly see a counselor or someone to figure out what the problem is. Firing her is not going to resolve the issue, she's going to do it to someone else. in the original video, apparently, she was having troubling behavior with co-workers as well.
sick sick person.
What a b****. What kind of person does this? She has major issues and deserves to be shot.
With teachers like her, I begin to understand why no one tried to help the little Chinese girl who was run over and left to die on the street.They don't even have a law against violence towards children outside the family. Really? But then surely just a law against random violence in general?
Exactly, several incidents have happened with Chinese teachers and nothing is happening still. It is not culture it is government. This is what we see, but what about what is not seen.?
China's not the only country, but different reasons. The horrible Mother thing? Well, she probably would be, but I've seen Thai teachers tape the kids hands together, take photographs of students who've peed on themselves and laugh at them, pick them up and set them outside the window of the classroom as the kid cries in fear, and slap, hit and call them stupid or retarded. But are very good with there own children. And when new teachers come in, they are taught well in college. You can see how well they do. Then the head teacher tells them to be mean to the kids to get them to behave.
Can who ever sees this so called ''''teacher''' ftrst…please..please…pick her up by the ears just like she did to this little boy…and then snap a few pictures and post them…thank-you. UGH!
Someone kill this bitch now! Poor babies! :'(
she is a monster.
Tell her we have openings in the catholic school systems here in the U.S.
Count me in!
I'm glad the pics were posted. How many other psychos are getting away with this shit who are not posting? Now everyone will now what a psycho she is and the person who took the photos. Maybe someone in authority will see this as a serious matter and do something more to protect innocent children.
I have always said if someone hurts one of my children, I will make sure my time behind bars is well-worth serving.
Good thing it was not my child. She would be earless and burried in that trashcan never to be seen again!
SPEECHLESS! and then sum!
There ought to be a law passed everywhere stating that if a child is abused, the abuser should be treated with the exact same actions that were done to the child! This is appaling, revolting and disgusting to say the least!
I feel like I'm being punked! where's the camera?
SMDH!!! WTF??!!
You actually think she is the only one that has done anything like that?
This isn't half as bad as what the Muslims will do to you when Obama is re-elected.
This one here is so lucky this wasn't my child. I say her punishment should be she get's locked in a room with these poor babies familes and see what happens. There is no child abuse laws? What in the world who protects these poor kids then.
Same here
She is VERY LUCKY this wasn't my child! That's beyond ridiculous, she's sick in the head for sure! Also i agree with you McKenzie, she should be locked in a room with the parents of those children and see what happens.
If I were the mother of that child, I'd be in prison because that woman would get a serious @$$ whipping!
They need to do the same things to her as she did to those poor children and posting it on the web. That is the best punishment for her she is not going to "learn" by having some kind of probation.
I thought this was to be a story about teachers being abused ie "Concrete Jungle".
Is this gangnam style?
I wouldn't mind giving her a good spanking!
we need alot more teachers like her in the states.
More parents should try disciplining their kids like that please when I lived in South Africa and I saw a kid get her mouth taped shut. Kids are our future….. death inmates most people don't control their kids I bet they fear her which is good so they won't act like idiots enough of the hippy shit.
I admit the ears was fucked up but spanking, paddling, the wooden spoon or go Joan Crawford I am using a bit of humor with but the tape on mouth I'm serious about
but I do support spanking, slapping and the wooden spoon.
These kids are f*cked for the rest of their lives now…over 700 PHOTOS? Seriously? It took that long?
