00:00Oh no, the kids have no one to fight with.
00:10You can't be there when your patience is low.
00:16There are so many comments.
00:18Let's see how many comments there are in the video that we'll be watching.
00:23A teacher is caught on camera being bullied by her students.
00:30According to the CCTV, on February 24,
00:33the teacher almost lost her patience while teaching her pre-kindergarten students.
00:39But that's not the only thing that the teacher is trying to stop.
00:53Really?
00:54Yes.
01:05According to the parents of the students,
01:08the kids are being locked up in the bathroom when they're being bullied.
01:12The teacher apologized to the parents,
01:16but they decided to file a case.
01:20What does the law say about this incident?
01:23Ask me, ask Atty. Gavin.
01:33Atty., some say that it's okay for the teachers to discipline the students.
01:39Many were even thrown back to their teachers' prisons the other day.
01:44But according to the law,
01:46how far can a teacher's discipline go?
01:50Well, definitely, physical discipline is prohibited for a child.
01:54Any discipline that will result in embarrassment,
01:59lack of dignity,
02:01and mistrust of a child,
02:04or anything we can say,
02:06will result in emotional and psychological pain in the mind of a child.
02:12Actually, there are many laws that prohibit the discipline of our children.
02:18First of all, it's clear in the Family Code, for example,
02:21that corporal punishment or physical punishment is prohibited in schools.
02:27In Republic Act 7610, the Child Abuse Law,
02:31psychological and physical abuse, neglect,
02:34cruelty, of course, sexual abuse,
02:37and emotional abuse are prohibited.
02:40DepEd also strictly prohibits bullying of students.
02:45In fact, DepEd is a zero-tolerance policy
02:48regarding child abuse and bullying of children.
02:51At any and all times, we should remember
02:54that the best interest of the child should be taken care of.
02:58And definitely, it is not in the child's best interest
03:01if excessive anger,
03:03the use of inappropriate words,
03:07the embarrassment of children,
03:09excessive anger,
03:11and even locking them up in a cabinet or in a CR,
03:14especially if they are young and very young.
03:19So, those who reach out,
03:21those who throw back,
03:23those who throw salt,
03:26those who squat in a corner,
03:28those who beat up a child,
03:31or those who humiliate and shout in front of other people,
03:34those are definitely prohibited.
03:38What can a teacher face
03:41if he or she is proven to be abusing a student?
03:44Of course, there can be an investigation
03:47and the filing of an administrative case
03:49for violation of the rules and regulations of DepEd.
03:53There will also be an investigation
03:55if a teacher should still be a teacher
03:58who does not have the patience to teach,
04:01especially if they are young and very young,
04:03who will be bullied,
04:04or if they are definitely children with special needs.
04:08Of course, there will be a mass-grabbing case,
04:11a child abuse case,
04:13there is the Republic Act 7610,
04:16which is a criminal case for child abuse,
04:18and of course,
04:19there are standard provisions in the Revised Penal Code
04:21for physical injuries and maltreatment.
04:25So there,
04:26if you do not feel that you should be a teacher,
04:30which is a very noble profession,
04:32don't go to court, right?
04:34So remember, when we talk about the law,
04:36we will make it clear here.
04:38You know,
04:39for the peace of mind,
04:42don't think twice.
04:44Ask me, ask Katerina Gaby.
05:00Thank you, Kapuso.
