An earlie­r report­ed said that childr­en at school were also 'report­edly sexual­ly molest­ed'BEIJING: A Beijing kindergarten teacher used sewing needles to punish children for not sleeping, police said, but other abuse claims have been rejected by an investigation into a scandal that sparked national outrage. China’s state-run Xinhua news agency had earlier reported that children at the kindergarten were also “reportedly sexually molested”. It is unclear if police have fully investigated claims that children were given mysterious pills to take. The statement said that it is the school’s policy for parents to give written permission before children can take medication at school. The case prompted Chinese authorities to call for an “immediate” investigation into all kindergartens across the country.
