An image from a video shows a teacher pushing a 3-year-old to the floor in the presence of other staff at the privately run Sarasas Witaed Ratchaphruek School in Pak Kret district of Nonthaburi on Sept 23. The private school at the centre of abuse allegations was hit by more claims of maltreatment on Thursday. Parents of 39 Grade 2 students at Sarasas Witaed Ratchaphruek, a large private school in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi, filed a further complaint with police, claiming children had been hit by a music teacher with a dustpan. Meanwhile, a group of parents at Sarasas Witaed Bangbuathong, Nonthaburi, gave staff a petition signed by 500 parents urging the principal to improve the school's childcare standards and install CCTV cameras throughout the premises. The Teachers' Council of Thailand is preparing to file complaints against four kindergarten teachers who abused students at Sarasas Witaed Ratchaphruek School.
