A 13-year-old girl poisons her class, distorting her view of right and wrong to raise a sick child

Two days ago, a strange thing happened in a middle school in Shanghai. After physical education class, the students returned to the classroom to drink water, but not long after, the family began to have stomachaches.

The school hurriedly sent more than 20 students who were unwell to the hospital, gastric lavage and treatment.

Some parents noticed something unusual and called the police. After investigation, it was found that two girls secretly returned to the classroom while other students were in physical education class, and poured the liquid with cleaning and bleaching effect into the water cups of their classmates.

In this way, dozens of classmates drank water mixed with bleach unguarded, some students drank more content, and even developed symptoms of organ failure.

After the incident, there were many opinions on the Internet. Some people revealed that the two girls were girlfriends, and one of them was the class leader, and some people said that they had long seen the class teacher unfavorably, and even wanted to poison the class teacher. There is also a terrible theory that not only leftover bleach was found on the girl, but also fruit knives.

What exactly happened in the classroom depends on the results of the police investigation. But the problems reflected behind the incident have aroused the vigilance of parents.

Early the next morning, the girl's parents sent a group message in the class, apologizing to the victimized students and parents, admitting that they had not educated their children well.

It can be seen from the content of the group chat that the girl's parents are still responsible, willing to admit their mistakes, and did not dump the pot.

However, the matter will certainly not end with an apology, neither for the parents of the two girls nor for the countless onlookers of the father and mother, the reflection on education has just begun.

13-year-old, indiscriminate poisoning, what psychology?

The behavior of indiscriminate poisoning first reflects a tendency to harm others, with a certain antisocial nature, and the child's personality is relatively introverted and weak, so it will take the method of secretly poisoning.

And 13 is a delicate age with extraordinary legal significance.

In December 2020, the mainland passed the Amendment (11) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, which stipulates that children who have reached the age of 12 must bear criminal responsibility, but there are very strict conditions.

"Whoever commits the crime of intentional homicide or intentional injury, causes death, or causes serious injury or disability by particularly cruel means, and the circumstances are egregious, and is prosecuted with the approval of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, shall bear criminal responsibility."

Two girls pouring bleach into someone else's water glass clearly did not meet this standard, at most "the crime of releasing dangerous substances", and what is the age of accountability for such crimes? Coincidentally, 14 years old.

The girls brought bleach to school, poisoned when the classroom was empty, had companions as "cover", and returned to the playground for physical education class after poisoning, and they would not have even been detected if it were not for the collective discomfort of their classmates.

With such a careful approach, it is difficult to say that they are completely unaware of the consequences of doing so. Or maybe they simply know that they will not bear any criminal responsibility, so they do whatever they want.

Scholars' studies have shown that the number of minors under the age of 14 committing crimes has been on the rise.

There are several cases of vicious crimes involving minors every year, such as repeated school bullying and the murder of a 10-year-old girl by a 13-year-old boy in Dalian a few years ago.

The restrictions of the Law on the Protection of Minors have caused some children to have no reverence and constantly explore the edge of the law, feeling that as long as there is legal protection, it doesn't matter if they kill and set fire.

But what they don't understand is that there is no impermeable wall in the world, once they do such a thing, their relatives, friends, teachers and classmates around them will know, and even strangers will understand, how will they get a foothold in society in the future?

Even if it escapes the punishment of the law, such an act is harmful to others and to oneself.

The Internet goes crazy with literature and subverts children's values

Recently, there is a saying that is very popular on the Internet: "Let go of personal qualities, enjoy a life lacking in morality, refuse mental internal attrition, and go crazy directly when something happens." ”

Another said: "The pattern should be opened, you can blame other people's things, try not to blame yourself." ”

For adults with a fairly normal mental state, "going crazy" is nothing more than complaining and complaining with friends, quarreling with colleagues who often find fault, being late for work and leaving early for a while, or taking advantage of the holidays to go crazy for a few days.

However, for children, "going crazy" may not be lip service, but really crazy.

According to statistics, the number of minors in China has reached 169 million, and the Internet penetration rate has reached 93.7%. Worryingly, up to 30.3% of minors have been exposed to violence, drug use and other illegal information in the process of surfing the Internet.

A few years ago, a 15-year-old boy was addicted to online violent games, but ignored the difference between the Internet and reality, and brutally killed his female neighbor in order to experience the excitement and pleasure of the game world in reality.

Children's minds are not mature enough, do not understand the special social and contemporary background behind the Internet language, it is easy to take the jokes on the Internet as gui, and form their own character and values.

They are more willing to blame others than to self-reflect; They prefer to vent rather than think calmly; They are more likely to choose to hurt others than to take a step back.

The subversion of traditional values by Internet madness literature will eventually change the way children deal with the world.

Distort the concept of right and wrong, and raise sick children

I saw a video on the Internet the other day, in the crowded hard seat car of the train, there is a little boy of four or five years old who keeps kicking the skirt of the female passenger opposite him and peeing in the aisle.

The female passenger reluctantly reminded the boy's mother, but she did not expect that the mother not only did not teach the child, but also spat on other passengers, and even shouted to the female passenger: "I will tell you if you take off your clothes." ”

It wasn't until more and more people gathered around her and male passengers helped to speak, that the mother gradually stopped.

Obviously, the reason why she bullied female passengers is that the girl on the other side is not old, looks soft and weak and not aggressive, and thinks that the other party is soft persimmon and easy to pinch. Once she faced a group of five-year-old and three-thick men, she would immediately put away her arrogance.

Such parents never distinguish between right and wrong, but attack indiscriminately externally, cover up unconditionally internally, see people order dishes, and help children who make mistakes find reasons: "He is just a child, and he doesn't understand things yet." ”

Over time, children develop selfish personalities. If you are unhappy, you have to "go crazy" like your parents, and if you are not comfortable, you have to make everyone uncomfortable.

This is different from the much-maligned "delicate interests" of previous years, because such children are neither refined nor self-interested.

They just want to do what they want to do most at the moment, regardless of consequences and responsibilities.

I once saw this saying: "To be a parent is to constantly make yourself a better person." ”

Because they are parents, they cannot "go crazy" as they want; Because you are a parent, you should always pay attention to the impact on your child; Because you are a parent, you must become a better version of yourself with your children.

This is the responsibility and obligation of parents, and it is also a sweet part of the parent's ability to accompany their children's growth.
