Preschool has a significant influence on children’s lives and shapes their development in a number of ways. It offers a stage for social and emotional development by letting kids engage with their peers, learn social skills, and build empathy and emotional intelligence. Cognitive development is also fostered through engaging activities that stimulate curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
Nonetheless, there has been a rise in the number of incidents when adults have mistreated preschoolers. It has raised worries about their safety and well-being. Several factors contribute to this distressing trend, including a lack of training and awareness regarding child development and behavior management.

Needless to say, these things impact the children in a very negative way. In a similar kind of instance, recently, a deeply disturbing video has emerged on social media, sparking widespread outrage. The footage depicts a distressing scene at a preschool where several unsupervised toddlers are seen doing whatever they want.
What is particularly alarming is that one child is repeatedly seen hitting another, while the adult present fails to intervene. The incident, captured on CCTV, quickly went viral after being shared on Twitter.
The video showed a room filled with toys, with a woman in a blue saree standing near the doorway. She momentarily takes one child out of the room, leaving the others unsupervised. It is during this period of neglect that one child begins to physically assault another. The distressing scene continued uninterrupted without any adult intervention.
Accompanying the video, a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation has also been heavily circulating, further fueling the public’s outrage. The video has garnered over 155K views since its upload, prompting people online to express their anger and disbelief.

Needless to say, netizens have mixed reactions to it. While many people have called for an investigation into the child involved in the bullying behavior, others also shared their own personal experiences, highlighting the need for stricter supervision and measures to ensure the safety and well-being of children.
Many people also directed blame toward modern parenting practices. Others also questioned the lack of professionalism and accountability in preschool settings.
If that child feels that hitting another child/person is normal, then it’s because that child has seen some WWE at home.
