Kindergarten teacher washed a boy’s mouth with soap?
According to the parents, their child’s – who is hearing impaired, struggles with integration, and has learning disabilities – mouth was washed with soap at the kindergarten because he was using bad language. They say the boy lives in fear and has a sleeping disorder ever since the accident.
As Szeretlek Magyarország reports, based on RTL News, the mother claims that her son’s mouth was washed with soap in a kindergarten in Budapest. The boy is five years old, hearing impaired, struggles with integration, and has learning disabilities.
The mother explained: “We were on the way home when he started to cry, then he told me that his mouth was washed with soap because he used bad language.”
She said that one of the kindergarten assistants did it to her son, so the parents first went to her to ask for an explanation.
“She told me that part of this happened. She denied that it happened with soap; she said she only washed my son’s mouth with water and that she told him before that she would do it if he used bad language, so she also kept him in fear,” explained the mother.
“He developed serious sleeping disorders. I could not take him near the bathroom for two days because he was crying so much and was upset about what was done to him. From 5 or even from 4:30 am he was up, he cannot sleep, woke up crying and is in fear that it will happen again.”
The mother will take the child to another kindergarten from January. Now a psychologist helps the boy. After talking to the kindergarten assistant, the parents filed a complaint to the person in charge of the kindergarten, who told RTL that the kindergarten’s employee only washed the child’s face with water in order to handle a difficult situation. The person in charge, however, did not find this justified, so with respect to the protocols, the kindergarten assistant was first held accountable orally, and now they have also initiated an investigation in the case.
“We are including child protection experts to examine in more detail the effect this could have on the child, or what other details there are that could help better understand the case,” the principal of the kindergarten said.
The parents pressed charges for child abuse, and the police are currently investigating the case.

The question beckons – why was this “little one” with the disabilities mentioned in this article, placed in a kindergarten, that obviously has no staff qualified to care for a “little one” in need of specialized care.
Who do you start to point a BIG Finger at – for Failure – in the subject matter of this article ???
Integration of “little ones” in need of specialized supervision and education, never must be placed in a Public Educational Environment – that does not have credited specialization to care for the needs of “little ones” with Disabilities.
The fragility of “little ones” – the emotional physiological scaring and damage – the placing of “little ones” – that through Disabilities, never forgetting – We All have Disabilities – in facilities that do not have staff trained for such “little ones” – is a Humanitarian Gross Failing.
Think – “little ones” not with disabilities, that are placed with a “little one” requiring “special needs” – is this emotionally and physiologically Correct – in the Formative years of their Lives ???
Who then is left to correct deal with the “mess” of “little ones” through the wrongness of integration process and un-trained educators – WHO ???
Answer – Mothers & Fathers, the “mess” falls back onto them into the Family, – through the wrongness of processes that are associated with “little ones” – their integration – their needs and Education.
