A closed circuit television camera in a kindergarten in China has captured shocking images of a teacher tossing a four-year-old little girl to the ground.

The teacher carried on by kicking the child while she lay on the ground.

Finally she picked up the girl by her feet and dropped her face down on the ground.

Local media said the girl, who is mentally disabled, slipped into unconsciousness. She is now severely brain damaged.

The teacher initially denied any wrong doing. She has been prosecuted.
