Education officials in Hidalgo say they are reviewing the case under child-protection protocols.

Overview

  • A 19-second clip shared by ADN shows a mother entering a classroom at the Rosaura Zapata kindergarten in Tizayuca and forcefully grabbing and shaking the teacher.
  • Parents and several children aged 3 to 4 allege the teacher hit students, locked them in the classroom, and tied them to chairs as punishment.
  • Parents report they requested police assistance but say the school director blocked officers from entering, and the kindergarten has not issued a public statement.
  • Local reporting notes the teacher has been the subject of similar complaints at other institutions, though she has not been publicly identified in this case.
  • Authorities have not confirmed formal complaints to the state prosecutor, local reports say classes were paused during the review, and officials may also examine the filmed assault.
