Teacher nabbed for showing preschoolers ‘gory’ video

A Canadian English teacher at an after-school private tutoring service in Sejong is accused of showing preschoolers a video about cannibalism.

According to the Sejong Police Station, the Canadian in her 20s on Wednesday showed a class of 6- and 7-year-olds a YouTube clip in which severed human body parts were visible as acts of cannibalism took place.

In fact, the clip, made by a BBC science program, shows an attempt to use samples from a presenter's leg to mimic the taste of human flesh, rather than actual cannibalism. The program was not aimed at children and includes some bloody images when the samples are taken.
