A mother in Singapore is suing a preschool after her son was pushed off a slide during playtime. The woman alleges that teachers were distracted by their phones or chatting, rather than supervising the children. According to CNA, the incident took place on July 12, 2024, when her son was four years old. She presented four videos as proof of her claims, including two showing the boy colliding with another boy, who allegedly pushed him off the slide twice.
The first collision resulted in the boy getting up, but the second time he fell from the top of the 75 cm high slide, just missing another child. The boy's hand was injured from the fall. The mother also showed videos of other incidents involving teachers being distracted, such as a girl standing at the top of the slide and another girl bumping her head on the wall.
The trial against the preschool began on September 7, 2024, and is currently ongoing at Singapore’s State Courts.
