Recently, a 9-year-old boy in Hunan was subjected to corporal punishment by his teacher for a long time at school. He was punished 13 times a week and was punished by the teacher to copy the word “grade” 10,000 times. In the end, he collapsed and jumped to his death.

According to the Heilongjiang Net Weiwei News report, 9-year-old Chenchen (pseudonym) attends Jianqing Furong School in Pingjiang County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province. “Mom, please make me breakfast. I can go to school by myself.” This was the last request Chenchen made to her mother before going out on April 15.

At that time, Chenchen’s mother was worried and sent her son downstairs. However, Chenchen did not go directly to school. Instead, she returned to the building alone and took the elevator to the top floor.

Monitoring showed that Chenchen arrived at the top of the building, walked around in a circle, put down his schoolbag, and then wandered around. First he walked up to the low wall on the roof of the building, ran a few steps towards the edge, stopped again, then returned to his school bag and stood there blankly. About 30 seconds later, Chenchen jumped onto the low wall again, then walked to the edge of the roof, and finally committed suicide by jumping off the building.

On April 17, Chenchen’s father, Mr. Yang, said: “That day was Monday (April 15), and he didn’t dare to go to school. (The child) had been physically punished by the teacher for a long time, and was afraid and afraid of learning. He couldn’t bear it mentally, so he I would rather die than study.”

“After the child’s accident, we watched more than 20 hours of surveillance video at school, which was about a week’s worth of surveillance content. I saw that Chenchen was always being scolded by the teacher, was fined 13 times in a week, and was often beaten. He was made to stand for four classes a day,” Mr. Yang said. When he wanted to continue checking the surveillance, he was stopped by the principal.

Mr. Yang said that because Chenchen did not complete his homework in time on weekdays, he was beaten by the teacher almost every day. He was also punished to copy the word “grading” 10,000 times. He has not finished copying it from last year to this year.

On the evening of April 18, the Pingjiang County Education Bureau issued a notice saying that at about 7:35 am on April 15, a student fell from a residential building in Tianyue Street in the county. Subsequently, Yang Moumou was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and he was pronounced dead at 10:30. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Mr. Yang said that he currently has two demands. The first is to continue watching the school surveillance; the second is to impose criminal penalties on the teacher’s abnormal punishment.

“I’m just waiting for a result, waiting for justice.” Mr. Yang said that when they checked the surveillance at the school, the school leaders received them, but the head teacher never showed up, without explanation or apology.

Mr. Yang said, “The child is still lying in the funeral parlor and cannot be buried. I don’t know how courageous he is to choose to commit suicide. I would rather die than lie next to him in the cold funeral parlor and accompany him.” By his side.”

This incident aroused public indignation, with mainland netizens saying, “That pool of blood, poor child.”

“I am also a mother. Every time I see this kind of news, I feel extremely uncomfortable. I can understand the pain of losing a child. I hope the school can give an explanation to parents and shoulder their responsibilities!”

“It’s so heartbreaking! Parents should not have unlimited trust in schools or teachers and communicate more with their children.”

“Today’s teachers are aloof and don’t take parents seriously at all.”

“Is this a teacher? A wolf in human skin.”

“Such people are not worthy of being teachers and must be held seriously accountable.”

“A 9-year-old child is already under a lot of psychological pressure when being punished by so many classmates. The teacher has a responsibility.”

Others said, “Parents are also responsible and should pay more attention to their children.” “If you know that your child is being punished corporally, you should contact the school or teacher.” “Parents should teach their children how to deal with these problems.”
