"Two-year-old's butt is bruised and purple": Follow-up

Recently, there has been new progress in the "kindergarten beating incident." On the 17th, Ai Yi Kindergarten published a phased investigation result on its official website: There is no evidence to prove that Ai Yi Kindergarten teachers have harmed Tian Tian. However, this result was unacceptable for Tian Tian's parents.

After four days of investigation and evidence collection in Chengdu by the investigation team from Ai Yi's Beijing headquarters, Ai Yi Kindergarten published the phased investigation results of the "beating children scandal" on its official website. The investigation results showed that there was no evidence indicating that the injuries described in the "injury photos" were caused by Ai Yi Kindergarten teachers hitting the child. Also, there was no evidence showing that the dislocation (Tian Tian's mother had previously claimed that one day after returning home, the child's arm was dislocated) was due to rough behavior by kindergarten staff.

The investigation results on Ai Yi's official website also stated that according to the surveillance footage recorded in the public areas of the kindergarten on February 12th, Tian Tian was jumping around happily when being picked up and waved goodbye to other kindergarten children. Han Yue, the Beijing project director of Ai Yi Kindergarten, expressed the hope to further communicate with the parents.

Tian Tian's father has complained to the education authority. Regarding the investigation results of Ai Yi Kindergarten, Tian Tian's mother, Pi Jieyu, denied it, saying, "Even without looking, I know they would come up with such a result."

The District Education Bureau is investigating and assessing. Since February 14th, the Chenghua District Education Bureau has formed an investigation team to conduct investigations and informed the parents that they will handle the matter seriously according to law. "Currently, the child's parents have submitted relevant evidence materials, and the Ai Yi Education Group has also submitted the investigation report results. We are organizing experts from relevant aspects for appraisal and assessment, and we will handle it according to legal procedures," said Zhang Zhihong, director of the Administrative Approval Division of the Chenghua District Education Bureau.
