The court heard that on the verge of poisoning, Wang quarreled with another teacher at Xiaozo Kindergarten over how best to handle students.
Then, on the morning of March 27, 2019, Wang added nitrite to the porridge provided by the school and intended for other teacher’s students. Wang had previously bought Nitrite online.
Wang was arrested in February 2017 after an earlier argument for trying to poison her husband, Fang. On that occasion, Wang poured nitrite into a glass used by Feng, causing minor injuries.
“Lati was all over (his) pants. There were other kids who were throwing too, and they looked pale,” said Lee, the father, who has a surname.
Alleged needle injuries
Wang’s sentencing comes amid new allegations of child abuse at a kindergarten in northern China.
State media Xinhua reported that the parents claimed to have found unidentified needle marks on the heads and bodies of their children when they returned from Zajon Dingki Kindergarten in Hohhot, in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
According to Xinhua, when asked about the needle holes, the children told their parents that their teacher attacked them with “toothpicks” and “red needles” for not behaving in class – and ordered their family not to tell.
In a statement, Xinsheng District Police said three women were detained on suspicion of “torturing children under their guardianship”, although the case is under investigation.
Dingki Kindergarten said in a statement that while the school has apologized for the parents’ concerns and anxieties, it has not yet received any evidence to support the claims.
The statement said that, at present, (we) have co-operated with the police to provide relevant surveillance footage and equipment, and co-operated in the investigation by the Department of Public Safety.
