Hong Kong preschool rejects father’s claim son suffered head injury on campus

This is the kind of story that plays out in quiet anguish on all sides. A father says his two-year-old came home with a large bump on his head and believes it happened at school. The preschool says police found no CCTV evidence of an on-campus injury and that no medical reports substantiate the claim. Both parties are describing the same child, the same day, and arriving at incompatible conclusions. For parents, the story resonates because it touches the deepest fear of early childhood: handing your child to strangers and trusting they'll be safe. For schools, it raises the question of how institutions defend themselves when they believe an allegation is unfounded — and whether CCTV coverage is adequate. The police investigation is closed, but the human situation clearly isn't. These disputes rarely end cleanly; they leave parents and educators in a standoff where the only certainty is that a small child got hurt somewhere, and nobody can agree on where.
