The 20-year-old Yan Yanhong was seen on a picture smiling by a crying boy who was lifted in his ears to about 10 centimeters above the ground. Other pictures showed children were sealed off with tapes in mouth, thrown in litter bin and stripped off when dancing and were ordered to kiss each other.

Along with the pictures, she wrote: "It's fine!" In interviews with local media, she said "I just played with them at that time" and "It was of great fun. The picture was so interesting!"

Her violence soon sparked an online human flesh search and furious netizens found she didn't have teacher license and was previously employed by Lankongque Kindergarten in Chengxi community.

Yan and another female teacher who didn't stop her but documented her brutal acts were immediately sacked from their positions by local authorities. The kindergarten was also ordered to apologize to the victims and failed to pass this year's evaluation, said Wu Guojian, official with Chengxi community, according to local TV station.

The news also led to a police investigation. She was detained for stirring up troubles and her colleague was punished with a seven-day administrative detention, local police said this noon on official microblog on Weibo.com.
