The police said on Wednesday that they are investigating a kindergarten in Busan's Gangseo District after a parent accused a teacher of child abuse.

According to the Gangseo Police Precinct, the report filed by the parent claims that a teacher abused a student during class, including placing the child in a cylindrical container, then pressing down on them with a mat.

The kindergarten reportedly held a briefing with parents in its auditorium on Wednesday morning to explain the situation.

The case is expected to be transferred soon to the juvenile crime division of the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency.
