Woman detained for child abuse

A woman surnamed Zhang in Hebei province has been detained on suspicion of intentional assault and child abuse, Shijiazhuang Daily reported Friday.

A single mom in Baoding city of Hebei province sent her 10-year-old daughter to Zhang in Beijing on Feb 18, as Zhang allegedly taught Chinese ancient civilization at a Beijing school, and could later send the girl to a university and then find her a job.

On May 26, Zhang called the mom to bring her daughter home, as the girl was suffering from chickenpox. The mom arrived Zhang's place, the so called "school" in Shunyi district of Beijing on May 27, and found the girl covered with bruises and scars. A hospital diagnosis showed the girl had fractures to her fingers, feet and collarbones. She is reported to be still suffering from severe headaches from time to time.

The mom later found a message Zhang posted on the social networking platform Wechat, which featured photos of children, including her daughter, with the words "please donate clothes to these children who were forgotten by the society."
