The defendant Ting Oi-man pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a child by her charge as she appeared before Magistrate Lam Tsz-kan in the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts this morning.

The prosecution said the security camera footage on September 5 captured Ting pinching the face of a boy “D” and forcefully picking him up at the nursery on the third floor of Vicwood K.T. Chong Building in Causeway Bay.

Ting then threw D onto a playing mat to change his diaper. A scratch was later found on D’s face and three bruise marks were on his back.

Another incident involved a boy identified as “E” when Ting was reading a storybook to a group of children five days later on September 10.

Ting was caught using the storybook to hit E in his head three times. She remained silent under police caution after she was arrested.

After mitigation, Judge Lam believed immediate imprisonment was the only appropriate option and sentenced Ting behind bars for six weeks.
