The issue came to light in August when a teacher was found shouting at and hitting a child who was slow to finish lunch. A special inspection by the prefectural and city governments revealed no physical injuries among the children. Two teachers in their 20s have been dismissed for disciplinary reasons. Officials stated that internal monitoring functions failed and pledged to review supervision procedures. <\/span><b>Source<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=16248540&amp;ymd=2025-10-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-173752\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_tagawa-nursery_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ten Nursery Teachers Disciplined for Child Abuse at Tagawa Daycare\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_tagawa-nursery_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_tagawa-nursery_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_tagawa-nursery_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_tagawa-nursery_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
