Nannies jailed
Two Chinese nursery nannies have been jailed three years for terrorising and torturing at least four children with a hot stove poker as punishment for crying, the “Peking Daily” reports. “The venomous aunties have been punished,” the newspaper said in its account of the incident at the nursery in a Nanking electric-plating factory. The children had sustained second-degree bums on the buttocks from a stove poker, which the matrons had used to threaten the nursery’s 89 children when they cried, the paper said. “Whoever cries gets burned,” it quoted the matrons as telling the children. — Peking.
