A cruel teacher has been sacked after CCTV cameras caught her beating a five-year-old autistic child.
She was seen attacking the boy in the city of Makhachkala, Russia, on Monday.
In the video shared by Fatima Abdulkarim on her Telegram account, the woman, identified only as Louise, and the youngster enter a room where the woman can be seen pinning the child named Dani to the wall.
The private kindergarten teacher then violently hits him as a cleaning lady vacuuming the area does nothing to stop her.
Her aggression allegedly started after the boy began displaying neurosis symptoms.
His mother told local media that he refused to go to kindergarten and began injuring himself by biting his nails until he bled.
She decided to take things into her own hands after finding her son in tears and with numerous bruises on his face one day.
The mum went to the kindergarten and demanded to see CCTV footage from August this year.
The teacher had no choice but to confess her malicious acts.
She was fired immediately by kindergarten officials, despite some kindergarten staff and parents claiming it might have only been a misunderstanding and pleading for her to return.
Kindergarten management meanwhile called the incident an absurd situation that the parents of the injured child decided to disclose.
They said: "There was nothing to raise panic about, but the parents felt that it was necessary to do this.
"Apparently they have some kind of their own interests to promote this 'ridiculous situation'."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the video footage to the Investigative Committee.
Head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin instructed the Investigative Committee to organise an investigation against the teacher.
Violence against children with physical and mental disabilities is not uncommon in Russia.
In July media reported that a child died in a boarding school in the Chelyabinsk region.
Before his death, he complained that the staff regularly tied students who refused to sleep to iron beds in an isolated room and hit them with sticks.
