I firmly believe that my daughter did not steal anything.

I requested to see the surveillance footage.

My wife and I found the leader of the kindergarten.

We must clarify this matter.

The principal received us, listened to our excited recount in the office, and just smiled: "You said a child's cake went missing, there was cream on your daughter's skirt, and then a few children told the teacher that your daughter stole someone else's cake. Do you think our teacher made a mistake in this process?"

"Did they?"

I raised my voice in excitement: "Have you investigated thoroughly before accusing our child of stealing?"

"So you think our teacher handled this matter improperly?"

I couldn't stand the principal's attitude, so I said directly: "I want to see the surveillance footage of my daughter's class that day!"

The principal sneered and said it was unnecessary.

"Why is it unnecessary?"

The principal said, "Don't make a big deal out of it. It's just a joke between a few children, just a piece of cake. Whether it was stolen or not, it's all in the past."

"What do you mean by making a big deal out of it? If it were your daughter being accused like this, what would you do, Principal?"

I questioned her.

The principal glanced at me casually: "What's the use of saying all that? Are you implying that the whole class of children is falsely accusing your daughter of stealing? Is that necessary? It's just a piece of cake, and it's all over."

My wife became anxious: "How can it be over? My daughter is still in the hospital, how can it be over?!"

The principal stared: "What do you mean? Do you want us to compensate you?"

I suppressed my anger.

"Principal, are you suggesting that my wife and I are here unreasonably causing trouble to extort money?"

The principal remained silent.

Her attitude was clear.

I didn't want to waste words: "Give me the surveillance footage, I just want to know the truth of the matter."

The principal stood up to leave: "Are you a police officer? If you say you want to see the footage, I have to show it to you. If you think there's a problem with our kindergarten, you can complain or call the police."

I held back my furious wife.

"I'll go find the police, I don't believe she won't show the footage to the police."

I went to seek help from the police officer who had helped me with the paperwork that day, thinking that seeing the footage would reveal the whole truth.

The police officer was also willing to help me.

Unexpectedly, before we even reached the kindergarten, something happened.

The incident of Tingting stealing the cake spread in the kindergarten's parent group!
