"I'm sorry.. enough".. with these words, a small child tried to plead with a woman who appeared in a viral video today, Sunday, as she hit him with a stick, while the child seemed resigned to the beating and repeated cries for help, in a scene that sparked widespread interaction on social media.

The video shows the child asking the woman to stop hitting him, repeating "I'm sorry" and "enough", while the woman continues to assault him with the stick, according to what appears in the circulated clip.

The video sparked a wave of anger among social media users, amid claims that the woman is a teacher and that the incident occurred inside an educational institution in Fayoum Governorate.

In the first official move, the Ministry of Education and Technical Education is examining the circulated video to verify the circumstances of the incident and determine the location where it was filmed, in preparation for taking necessary actions if it is proven to be related to one of the educational institutions affiliated with the ministry.

On the other hand, the incident inside one of the schools in Fayoum has not yet been confirmed, while the educational authorities in the governorate are following up on the video that has been circulated to verify the location where it was filmed and its actual connection to any educational institution in the governorate.

The media center of Fayoum governorate had warned against attributing the video to the governorate or one of its schools before the completion of the examination and verification process.

The relevant authorities continue to examine the footage to determine the identity of the woman, the location of the incident, and the circumstances surrounding it, in preparation for taking the necessary actions based on the results of the investigation.
