A video is circulating online from a private kindergarten in Ekibastuz, showing a woman covering a child's head with a blanket and striking them several times.
According to the Instagram page "Ekibas v Teme", this incident has been reported to the Ekibastuz police department, and investigative measures are being carried out regarding the video.
In the comments under the post, the child's aunt revealed that the incident took place at the private kindergarten "Säbi city". According to her, the nephew is not yet two years old.
"In this video, not everything is shown; it gets worse afterwards. The child didn't want to sleep during quiet time, and they did this... Who gave them the right to mistreat other people's children like this?" the woman writes.
For context, in April of last year, the specialised court for administrative offences in Kostanay fined a kindergarten teacher for assaulting two children.
