SEOUL - A video of a childcare teacher slapping a toddler so hard she flies and falls to the ground has caused outrage in South Korea.
In CCTV footage from the centre, a little girl is forced to eat kimchi. When she spits it out, the teacher swings at her hard, and the girl falls, unable to get up for a few seconds.
The teacher from a centre one hour west of Seoul was detained on Thursday, CNN reported.
The 33-year-old, known only as Yang, admitted on Monday that she had punched the child

, but she claimed that the act was part of discipline measures to correct the child's bad

 habit, investigators said.
