Three junior high school students bullied their classmates and then smashed them to death and buried their bodies, how did the "demon" come to be?

01, 3 junior high school students teamed up to kill their classmates, which is appalling!

Many adults are terrified of even killing a chicken, but after 3 junior high school students brutally killed their classmates, they were extremely calm!

Recently, the "case of 3 junior high school students killing classmates and burying the corpses" in Handan, Hebei Province has attracted the attention of the whole network (hereinafter referred to as the "Handan case").

The picture comes from the Internet

On March 10, three junior high school students in Zhangzhuang Village, Beigao Town, Feixiang District, Handan, Hebei Province, killed their classmate Wang Moumou, and then buried their bodies in an abandoned vegetable greenhouse.

The three suspects had an "extremely strong" psychological quality, and after the killing, they went back to their homes as if nothing had happened, and they did not show panic at all.

After Wang's family called the police, the police and the village party secretary went to the homes of the three suspects to question, and they also lied very calmly and said that they didn't. It wasn't until the police collected more evidence that they admitted that they buried Wang Moumou in a vegetable greenhouse!

The police also found that their killing of their classmates was premeditated, and they began to dig a pit in the vegetable greenhouse the day before the crime, and dug again on the day of the crime, and the deep pit where the body was buried was 0.56 meters deep.

When Wang's body was dug up, there were many serious wounds on his body, and his face was smashed beyond recognition by a shovel! One can imagine how terrible and cruel the abuse was!

In recent years, juvenile crime cases have emerged one after another, bringing psychological impact to the public again and again, and the hearts of netizens have been "exercised" quite strong. But when the information about this case was exposed, netizens still felt appalling and extremely terrifying, "Demons really have no age!"

At present, the Handan police have criminally detained the three "demons" for intentional homicide. Some netizens believe that these 3 people are "born bad" and should be sentenced to death.

However, according to the current criminal law in the mainland, the death penalty does not apply to persons who were under the age of 18 at the time of the crime. Netizens have discussed what kind of punishment should be imposed on these three people, which is enough to return justice to the victim's family and alleviate the psychological impact of the public. Many legal and criminal experts have also publicly expressed their opinions.

Professor Li Meijin of the Chinese People's Public Security University believes that the parents of the three juvenile offenders should be punished equally, and they must also be required to compensate the families of the victims.

As soon as this professional point of view came out, many netizens strongly supported it, including me. The guardians of these 3 "demon" junior high school students should also bear the corresponding criminal responsibility and accept severe punishment!

Because, when a child commits a crime, it is not enough to make the parents bear civil liability. In many families with superior economic conditions, parents are good at spending money to help their children "wipe their butts" and settle their children's troubles. If only they are allowed to pay financial compensation, the deterrent effect will be very weak.

In contrast, criminal responsibility can have a better deterrent effect on parents, which can force them to educate and discipline their children more carefully, and reduce juvenile crime to a greater extent.

02. What is the most appropriate age for lowering the age of criminal responsibility?

In recent years, juvenile delinquency cases have occurred frequently, and the public has been calling for the improvement of relevant laws and the lowering of the age of criminal responsibility.

At present, the Criminal Law of the mainland stipulates that a person who has reached the age of 16 shall bear full criminal responsibility for committing a crime. That is to say, no matter what the level of criminal case, including drunk driving, theft up to a certain amount, etc., they are criminally responsible.

A person who has reached the age of 14 but is under the age of 16 is criminally liable only if he or she commits a serious criminal offence, including intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury or death, rape, robbery, drug trafficking, arson, explosion, and disseminating dangerous substances.

As for persons who have reached the age of 12 but are not yet 14 years old, the scope of criminal responsibility has been further narrowed, and only those who have committed the crime of intentional homicide or intentional injury, causing death or causing serious injury or serious disability by particularly cruel means, and the circumstances are heinous, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate has approved the prosecution, shall bear criminal responsibility.

The Criminal Law also states that even if a person under the age of 18 is investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law, the punishment should be mitigated or commuted.

Many people believe that although the age of criminal responsibility has been lowered, the punishment for juvenile crimes is still insufficient, and that the parents of juvenile offenders are not criminally responsible at all, which is also unreasonable, and that unreasonable things must be changed.

Today's minors are exposed to a lot of information on the Internet, and many of them are not so-called innocent children since elementary school. Compared to the same age of their parents' generation, the minds of minors are now more mature, and much more mature!

They are likely to know that the law protects minors, and even distort it to mean that "even if I kill someone, the law will protect me, and I don't need to bear the corresponding responsibility". This will encourage them to sin.

Even if a child is under the age of 12, it is entirely possible that they will commit a serious evil deed and deliberately take someone's life!

In March last year, a thrilling incident occurred in Kunming, Yunnan Province. A 7-year-old girl tried to throw a 4-year-old boy into a well, but the boy grabbed the edge of the well with his hand, but the girl violently broke the boy's hand and let him fall, and then calmly left.

The well was 2 meters deep enough to drown the boy. Fortunately, the boy kept calling for help, and the nearby villagers immediately rescued him after hearing it, so it did not cause a tragedy.

If the boy had not been rescued at that time, the seven-year-old girl would have become a "murderer"! But under the current criminal law, she is not criminally responsible at all.

Recently, Luo Xiang, a law professor who is very popular with netizens, also publicly talked about the "Handan case". He said that the law can never solve all social problems, but what the law can do is to still impose the necessary punishment on those who have committed serious crimes, and only punishment can bring about reform.

From this professional point of view, I believe that in order to increase efforts to reduce juvenile crime, the relevant authorities could consider lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 3 years old.

Children before the age of 3 are still toddlers, and basically do not have the physical and intellectual strength to cause serious harm to others. In addition, they are not in school and live mainly at home, so the risk of harm to society is very low.

But after the age of three, many children go to kindergarten. School bullying has already appeared in many kindergartens, and some children often maliciously bully their classmates, causing serious psychological and physical harm to others.

Of course, it is proposed here to reduce criminal liability to the age of 3, which also refers to a specific range. Only when the child has committed an extremely serious act that is extremely harmful to the victim and the subjective intent is very egregious, can the pursuit of criminal responsibility be considered and the criminal responsibility of the parents should be pursued.

Moreover, there are many degrees of criminal responsibility, from light to severe, they are controlled release, criminal detention, fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment and death, and they can also be reasonably sentenced according to the age of the child, which can not only achieve a deterrent and punitive effect, but also not be excessively heavy.

03. These 3 wrong family education are easy to teach children who commit crimes

According to reports, the three junior high school students who killed their classmates in the "Handan case" are all "left-behind children", whose parents are not around, and usually live with their grandparents.

Many people feel pity for the "left-behind children" when they hear about them, and feel that they lack the love of their fathers and mothers, and they are very pitiful. Every year, a large number of enthusiastic netizens donate money and materials to left-behind children in poor areas, and care for them very much.

However, many people do not realize that there are many left-behind children who will gradually embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes and become murderous criminals precisely because of the lack of parental companionship and active guidance!

We have analyzed that when minors commit evil deeds, it is not because they are born "bad breed", but because they are not born with an improper family education style.

To put it simply, their parents often make the following 3 mistakes in family education, which I hope parents can learn from:

The first mistake is that parents lack positive three views, pursue eating, drinking and having fun, lack a higher level of spiritual pursuit, and some are even contaminated with gambling and drugs.

They are extremely lacking in high-quality companionship for their children, but they are overly spoiled materially, which can easily lead to children who are also spiritually empty, blindly pursuing material enjoyment, and like to compare with classmates and show off their wealth.

When these children get into trouble, their parents often use resources to settle for their children, and the children never have to take responsibility for it. This kind of education gradually indulges the child to lawlessness, and the child's behavior becomes more and more excessive, and finally seriously breaks the bottom line of the law.

The well-known singers Li Shuangjiang and Mengge doted on their son Li Tianyi (now renamed "Li Guanfeng"), who was so used to being arrogant and unsightly that he was eventually imprisoned for committing rape.

The second mistake that parents tend to make is that the two often quarrel with each other, and often beat and scold their children, and the family atmosphere is very depressing and full of gunpowder.

These parents may still uphold the backward education concept of "if you don't fight, you won't succeed", or when they have strong negative emotions, it is difficult to adjust themselves, and they are angry with their children, complaining, blaming, insulting, and even beating and scolding their children.

Children who grow up in this kind of family environment know how to read words and emotions very well, and have a certain people-pleasing personality. They have suffered a lot of superimposed psychological trauma from their original families, and their hearts have been depressed and painful for a long time.

Some children have been lacking emotional release channels, long-term forbearance, and constant self-denial, which makes it easy to suffer from depression.

Some children will look for their own "punching bag" to vent their negative emotions on their classmates who are weaker than themselves, abuse them, punch and kick them, and may even feel happy and excited when bullying others, similar behaviors become addictive.

If teachers and parents do not intervene in time to solve the problem at the root, their bullying behavior will become more and more serious!

The third type of family education mistakes: parents lack self-reflection awareness and ability, always have external attributions, have personality abnormalities, and lead to similar problems in children.

When these parents encounter interpersonal conflicts and conflicts, they feel quite unreasonable and aggressive, thinking that everything is someone else's fault, and almost never rationally analyzing their own problems.

When they see some social news, they are likely to complain and blame the outside world and society like an angry young man. These parents often have paranoid personality disorders.

Their children also become imperceptible to self-reflection, and they are always attributed to accidents, and it is easy to have conflicts with teachers and classmates at school, and even escalate into physical conflicts.

Although many left-behind children rarely spend time with their parents, when their parents come home, call them or video chat with them, it can have an impact on their children to some extent.

Moreover, if the day-to-day caregivers of left-behind children – such as grandparents – also have these problems, they are more likely to continue to have a negative impact on the child.

In the "Handan Case", the three murderers must have bullied their classmates, and their parents are very likely to have heard of it, but they never paid attention to it, let alone intervened in time to educate their children.

If this is the case, it is likely that these parents have some degree of personality abnormality, turning a blind eye to the suffering of others and showing little to no empathy.

In addition to family factors, the negative impact of online games on minors cannot be ignored. Many minors like to play games very much, especially violent and bloody killing games, and find it very enjoyable to play.

Left-behind children are more likely to become addicted to games and even have difficulty distinguishing between the real and virtual worlds due to lack parental supervision. They behave very cold-blooded and ruthless after killing people, and it cannot be ruled out that it may be because they have repeated this violence countless times in the game, and even if it happens in real life, their hearts are almost unwavering.

It is hoped that parents should avoid the above 3 types of family education mistakes, learn real scientific parenting knowledge, and pay attention to the negative impact of some bad online games on their children.

It was reported that the principal of several students in the "Handan case" said that one of the students involved in the murder usually had good grades, so he was shocked.

Many people have a stereotyped perception that a student with good grades will have a better character and be a well-behaved child. But in fact, personality abnormalities are not absolutely positively correlated with whether they have excellent grades and outstanding abilities.

On January 16 this year, the "violent murder of his wife by Chen Liren, a Google engineer at Tsinghua University," occurred in Silicon Valley in the United States, causing a sensation on the whole network! Chen Liren's grades and resume are extremely good, and he is the ceiling among "other people's children", and he is the excellent work of parents who constantly "chicken babies", but in the end he brutally killed his wife!

Therefore, children should be "adults" before they "become talents", and I hope that parents will not blindly "chicken babies", but more importantly, guide children to establish positive three views, have the courage to take responsibility, form a high adversity quotient that is more and more courageous, and prevent children from going astray!

04. How to protect children from school bullying?

The reason why the "Handan case" has attracted the attention of the whole network and continues to ferment is not only because the plot is particularly bad, but also because it activates similar superimposed psychological trauma for many people - they have also suffered school bullying.

Every parent doesn't want their child to be bullied in school, especially if they've been bullied before, and they don't want their child to suffer the same.

However, it is not enough for parents to have this desire, but also to master effective ways to prevent their children from being bullied at school and protect their children well.

First, regardless of whether the parents are married or divorced, the two should maintain a harmonious and good relationship, and should also avoid adopting simple and rough family education methods for their children, and consciously create a good family atmosphere and parent-child relationship.

It may not seem to be directly related to "school bullying", but it actually helps children develop a more positive and confident personality.

Otherwise, children with poor family atmosphere and family relationships tend to appear timid, introverted, cowardly, and submissive at school, and they are the most likely targets for "bullies".

Many parents may feel that introversion and timidity are innate, but clinical precision psychological intervention has found that this personality is mainly acquired, which has a lot to do with the parent's family education style.

For example, parents lack companionship and attention to their children for a long time, or the education methods are relatively simple and rude, and they feel that their children are disobedient and criticize loudly, elongate their faces, or always deny their children. Children are scared, lack a sense of security and self-confidence, and their personalities are more likely to become introverted and timid.

Moreover, because their parents do not meet their emotional demands, they often crave friendship excessively, and it is easy to wronged themselves and please others in order to be recognized by their peers. But this kind of flattery is likely not to be exchanged for equal friendship, but may be bullied by peers and pinched as soft persimmons.

Second, parents should really go into their children's hearts and master the three steps of benign communication: empathy, listening, and positive guidance, so that children's hearts are open and intimate to parents.

In this case, even if the child is bullied at school, they are willing to tell their parents as soon as possible, and the parents can take scientific measures to deal with it in time.

However, parents need to be reminded that after learning that their child has been bullied on campus, they must not "turn a big incident into a small matter", or accuse the child of being useless and let the child fight back directly. This can lead children to think that telling their parents will not solve the problem at all, and will soon close the door to their parents.

Third, parents can guide their children to strengthen their bodies, and if their children's bodies can withstand it, they can even consider learning taekwondo, boxing and other courses. This is more suitable for children who are already introverted, weak, or weak, or even have been bullied!

Exercise can not only enhance children's physical fitness, improve their ability to defend themselves and protect themselves, but also regulate children's emotions and personalities, so that they can restore a certain degree of self-confidence.

Fourth, parents should guide their children to master some interpersonal skills and get along better with classmates and teachers.

We have shared the three rules of interpersonal communication: the Golden Rule, the Anti-Golden Rule, and the Platinum Rule.

It is recommended that when parents educate their children and adolescents, they should at least let their children grasp the "golden rule", that is, "you can treat others as you want others to treat you, but how others treat you is the right of others", and they can handle interpersonal relationships more properly.

And, parents should lead by example.

When many parents have conflicts with their children, family members, and people in the outside world, they lack the ability to self-reflect, and always tend to blame others for it, and always complain and criticize. This is clearly not the "Golden Rule", and may even be an irrational "anti-Golden Rule", i.e., "think that others should do unto us as we would have treated others".

If these parents themselves do not change, it will be difficult for children to listen to the guidance of their parents, "You can't do it, why do you ask me to do it?"

Finally, school bullying mainly occurs in schools, and I hope that schools must formulate relevant regulations to severely punish perpetrators, and let teachers educate children on how to identify and respond to school bullying on a daily basis, and give children help in a timely manner!

Every school should have "zero tolerance" for bullying on campus, adhere to the bottom line, and let the "perpetrators" who refuse to change their ways become rats crossing the street on campus, shouted and beaten by everyone, and even dropped out of school; it is necessary to vigorously curb the phenomenon of bullying on campus, make the campus a real pure land, and protect every child to grow up mentally and physically healthy.
