In November 2021, Ms. Tian, a citizen of Xi'an, gave birth to a boy. In order to better take care of the baby and mother, the family decided to let Ms. Tian take the baby to the confinement center to recuperate. There, she was placed in the special care of her sister-in-law for two months. A month passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Ms. Tian was going home.
As a new mother, she feels that she is not able to take care of her children in these meticulous tasks. So, from the two confinement sisters-in-law, she hired Xiao, who was okay, to continue to go home to take care of herself. However, Ms. Tian and her husband never expected that it was this decision that made them regret it.
After Xiao came to Ms. Tian's house, he asked to sleep in a room with the child. Ms. Tian said: It is to facilitate her to take care of the baby. Xiao began to behave "very well", thoughtful and attentive to the children, and his work was also neat. Ms. Tian is very satisfied with her and has expressed her gratitude on WeChat.
However, on January 23, 2022, Ms. Tian, who took a nap, checked the surveillance on her mobile phone, but the picture was extremely heart-wrenching and angry. She found that Xiao had squeezed the child hard when holding it. How can a child who is only more than 2 months old withstand the oppression of powerful external forces? Her heart ached and she questioned Xiao.
At first, she didn't admit it, but later, when Ms. Tian took out the surveillance video to confront her, she had nothing to say. Ms. Tian called the police and took the child to the hospital for examination. But the diagnosis broke her heart even more: the child was not crushed, but had an old fall, which means that the child may have been injured for a long time. That is, besides this time, there have been other abuses before.
The anxious Ms. Tian and her husband immediately went to check the surveillance, and the images in the video made them gasp. From January 17 to January 23, the sister-in-law abused babies almost every day. Sometimes it's shaking your child hard, sometimes it's spanking him. There are even times when she will scold such vicious things as "beat you to death" and "drop you".
Isn't it human for a strong adult to commit atrocities on a baby with no chicken in his hands? The child is less than 3 months old, and it is precisely when adults need to take care of him, and the child who has been waiting for it is treated in such a cruel way! Ms. Tian regretted and blamed herself, unable to accept this reality, and this month's sister-in-law was actually found by herself.
It is reported that Xiao, the sister-in-law involved in the incident, is 35 years old this year and is from a county in Shaanxi Province. She has worked in the confinement center for more than two years and earns about 15,000 yuan a month. She and Ms. Tian privately signed a service agreement and paid her a salary of 19,000 yuan a month. Ms. Tian also informed her that surveillance was installed in the room.
So, why did Xiao abuse babies? What motives and reasons does she have? At present, the police are investigating the matter. However, based on some analysis and speculation, there may be the following possibilities:
- Xiao is a psychopath, she has a sense of pleasure and satisfaction in abusing weak lives. She may have suffered abuse or trauma during her childhood or upbringing, causing her to develop a twisted psyche.
- Xiao is an emotionally unstable person, she may have some troubles and pressures in life or family, resulting in her mood swings and difficulty controlling her impulses. She may vent her dissatisfaction and resentment on the baby, thinking that the baby cannot resist and expose it.
- Xiao is a lazy and greedy person, she may feel that she has a high income, an easy job, and there is no need to be responsible and dedicated to the baby. She may want to make the baby cry less by abusing it, or have Ms. Tian fire her so she can take other higher-income orders.
For whatever reason and purpose Xiao had, she had committed an unforgivable crime. Infant abuse not only causes physical and psychological harm and trauma to the baby, but also brings great harm and negative impact to the family and society. This is an extremely cruel and despicable act that must be severely punished by the law.
At present, the police have intervened to investigate the matter and criminally detained Xiao. It is understood that Xiao is suspected of the crime of intentional injury. According to Article 234 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who intentionally harms the body of another person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance. where the circumstances are more serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; where the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or the death penalty.
At the same time, Ms. Tian also sued Xiao to the court and demanded compensation for medical expenses and mental damage. Ms. Tian said that she should worry not only about her children's physical and mental health, but also about her marriage and family harmony. She said that she and her husband are only children, and children are their hope and sustenance. This incident has greatly impacted and tested their feelings. She hopes that the court can make a fair judgment, so that Xiao can get the punishment he deserves, and she and her children will get the compensation they deserve.
In addition, Ms. Tian also filed a complaint with the confinement center and demanded that it bear the corresponding responsibility. She said that the confinement center is a professional organization and should be responsible for the confinement services it provides. She said that when the confinement center arranged for her sister-in-law, it did not provide her with any information such as her qualifications, work experience, and health status. She said that the confinement center did not carry out regular training, assessment and supervision for confinement sisters-in-law. She said that if confinement centers had done these things well, they might have been able to avoid such tragedies.
Regarding Ms. Tian's complaint, the confinement center said that it had taken note of the incident and expressed its deep apologies and concerns. They said they had fired Xiao and would cooperate with the police and the court to investigate and handle the matter. They said that they will also carry out a comprehensive inspection and improvement of their own management system, and strengthen the selection, training, assessment and supervision of confinement sisters-in-law. They said that they were willing to communicate and negotiate with Ms. Tian and did their best to give her reasonable compensation and appeasement.
After the "sky-high price confinement" incident in Xi'an was exposed, it aroused widespread attention and discussion on the Internet. Many netizens expressed indignation and condemnation of Xiao's behavior, and expressed sympathy and support for Ms. Tian and her children. Here are some comments from netizens:
- "This month's sister-in-law is so abominable! How can an innocent little life be treated like this! She's not human! She should be sentenced to a heavy sentence and must not be spared! ”
- "This kid is so pathetic! It has only been more than two months to suffer such a big injury! I don't know if it will leave any sequelae! I hope he can recover quickly and grow up healthy! ”
- "This mother is also so unfortunate! What was supposed to be a happy thing turned into a nightmare! How could she endure such a blow! I hope she can be strong and protect herself and her children! ”
- "This confinement center is also responsible! How can they randomly arrange for an unqualified, inexperienced, unconscionable person to take care of the mother and baby! Did they deliberately pit people! They should be fined, their licenses revoked! ”
- "This incident is also a wake-up call! We must be cautious when choosing a confinement sister-in-law! Be sure to read clearly the qualifications, experience, evaluation and other information of the confinement sister-in-law! Be sure to install monitoring and keep an eye on your child's situation! Be sure to protect yourself and your children! ”
The "sky-high price concubine" incident in Xi'an is a shocking and angry incident, as well as a heart-wrenching and sympathetic incident. This incident not only brought great harm and trauma to Ms. Tian and her children, but also brought profound warning and reflection to the society and the public. We should learn lessons and enlightenment from this incident, enhance our vigilance and prevention, strengthen our supervision and protection, and avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
First of all, we should strengthen the regulation and management of the confinement industry. Confinement is an important profession involving the health and safety of mothers and infants, and it is also a profession that requires professional skills and qualities. We should establish a sound system for confinement qualification certification, training assessment, credit evaluation, complaint handling and other systems to ensure the level and quality of confinement and protect the rights and interests of mothers and infants.
Second, we should strengthen oversight and accountability of institutions such as confinement centres. The confinement centre is an institution that provides professional services and care for mothers and babies, as well as an institution with social responsibilities and obligations. We should carry out strict procedures such as approval, registration, inspection and evaluation of confinement centers to ensure legal compliance, standardized operation and high-quality services of confinement centers, and prevent problems such as violations of laws and regulations, fraud and oppression, dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty in confinement centers.
Finally, we should strengthen our care and protection for ourselves and our children. As parents, we should be responsible for ourselves and our children, not gullible and not arbitrarily entrusted to others. We should pay more attention when choosing a confinement sister-in-law, understand from multiple parties, compare with multiple parties, and choose the right confinement sister-in-law. We should pay more attention when using confinement services, communicate with multiple parties, supervise multiple parties, and find and solve problems in a timely manner.
In short, the Xi'an "sky-high price concubine" incident is a heart-wrenching incident, and it is also an event worthy of our deep consideration. We hope that Xiao can be punished by law, Ms. Tian and her children can receive fair compensation, and the society and the public can learn from it. We hope that such events will not happen again, so that every mother and baby can enjoy happiness and tranquility.
