Monitoring video showed the teacher entering a classroom and putting his hands into the girl’s quilt during naptime for about one minute as the Chinese caretaker left for the bathroom at 2 pm on Jan 25, according to an announcement by the Beijing RYB Qingdao Vanke City Kindergarten on Thursday.

The kindergarten only gave the foreign teacher’s first name — Daniel, from the Republic of Columbia, born in 1984. Police detained Daniel on Jan 29, immediately after the kindergarten and the girl’s parents reported the case.

The announcement said the girl was found to have no injury after a comprehensive medical check and returned to regular school attendance.

Similarly, another case in Shanghai sparked a heated discussion about molestation and the protection of a child.

Molestation, or sexual abuse of minors, a historical phenomenon which can be found in every culture and in every society, has relatively recently become the object of systematic study.

In 2017, the WHO estimated that up to 1 billion minors between the ages of 2 and 17 years of age have endured violence either physical, emotional, or sexual. Sexual abuse (from groping to rape), according to some UNICEF estimates from 2014, affected over 120 million children, representing the highest number of victims.

In 2017, the same UN organization reported that in 38 low and middle-income countries, almost 17 million adult women admitted having a forced sexual relationship during their childhood. 

Here are some effective methods in preventing various types of violence, as well as being beneficial in such sectors as mental health, education, and crime reduction. 

• Education and life skills: Such as ensuring that children attend school and providing life training and other social skills, both for boys and girls.

• Safe environments: Identifying the “hot spots” for violence in the neighborhood and then addressing local causes through policies aimed at resolving the problems and providing other types of intervention. Don’t arbitrarily entrust your child to an acquaintance, 

• Parent and caregiver support: Providing formation for parents of young people, and first-time parents.

• Response and support services: Guaranteeing children who have been exposed to violence adequate access to emergency care and to psychiatric and social services.

• Evidence: Once you found your child being sexually abused by others, please preserve evidence.
