東莞幼兒園一保育員疑因泄憤投毒 10名病孩幸無大礙

Chinese authorities recently arrested a female school caretaker who allegedly poisoned kindergarten students in revenge for not getting a pay rise.

近日，中國警方抓捕了一名女性保育員，她被指控因不漲工資而報復幼兒園學生。

The suspect, who works at Hongri Kindergarten in the city of Dongguan in China, reportedly added schizophrenia medication to the students' meals.

這名犯罪嫌疑人在中國東莞市的紅日幼兒園工作。據報道，當時她在孩子們的飯中投放了一種治療精神分裂的藥物。

Identified only by her surname Yang in the reports, the caretaker was responsible for cleaning at the school and serving meals to the students.

報道中只透露該嫌疑人姓楊，是一位在學校內主要負責清掃工作、並給孩子們送餐的保育員。

On March 15, ten kindergarteners who had lunches served by the suspect were immediately sent to a hospital by their parents after exhibiting signs of dizziness at home.

在3月15日當天，有10位孩子在家出現了眩暈等情況，隨後家長便立即將孩子送到了醫院。這些孩子都曾在幼兒園內吃過楊某送來的飯。

The school's surveillance footage caught the caretaker adding unknown substances to the children's meals. An investigation would later yield a bottle of a schizophrenia medication called clozapine, which was found at the caretaker's home.

據幼兒園的監控錄像顯示，這名保育員很可能向孩子的食物中添加了某種有毒物質。警方在調查時在其家中發現一瓶叫做氯氮平的治療精神分裂症狀的藥物。

According to the People's Daily, her request for an increase in wages was earlier denied by the school.

據《人民日報》報道，楊某之前曾一直要求給其漲工資，但校方予以拒絕。

Upon questioning, she confessed that she used her own antipsychotic medication to poison the students for revenge.

在審訊過程中，她承認自己是爲了泄憤，纔在孩子們的食物中投放了自己的抗精神病類藥物。

The news has sparked a massive reaction from netizens with many outraged by the caretaker's actions.

該新聞引起了網友很大的反響，許多人這名保育員的做法感到十分憤怒。

"How could you relate a pay rise to the innocent children?" a Weibo user wondered.

一位微博用戶評論道：“你怎麼能夠將漲工資和這些無辜的孩子們扯上關係？”

"She would be strictly punished," another commented.

另一位用戶則評論：“她將會受到嚴厲的懲罰。”
