Latest! Follow-up to the detention of the parent who beat the boy: The girl's uncle spoke out, the principal responded, and the Xinxiang public security fell
In Xinxiang, Henan Province, an incident in which a parent assaulted a student caused an uproar. On the afternoon of April 16, there was a sudden cry at the entrance of Niucun Primary School. A 9-year-old boy was lying on the ground, covered in blood and unable to open his eyes.
"That man actually smashed my child's face with his fist and knocked the child more than ten meters away!" The boy's father, Mr. Li, recalled the scene at that time, and his words could not hide his grief and indignation. The punch was so hard that it almost pierced the boy's poor eyes.
The boy's mother tried to stop it, but she was also beaten, and her face and hands were swollen. The parent beat him so fiercely that he wanted to kill the boy. Fortunately, it was stopped by passers-by in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
It's hard to justify what parents have done wrong
The boy's father said at first that his son had only had some verbal altercations with the girls in his class, and that it was fine.
But the girl's parents apparently have other arguments. The girl's uncle came forward to speak out, claiming that the boy had been bullying his niece for a long time, and the parents repeatedly reported to the school that the school not only did not pay attention to it, but allowed the conflict to worsen.
When it came to the final blow, "the parents couldn't bear it anymore, so they had to teach the boys a lesson." The uncle's rhetoric can easily make people disgusted with the boy, implying that he is a complete bully who deserves to be beaten.

But soon, people will reflect: even if the boy has bullied his classmates many times, is it not considered that the parents as adults have followed the children's tricks and used their fists to settle disputes?
The police have detained the parents of the beaters
The situation was clearly illegal and had to be resolved through legal means. Xinxiang police said that regardless of the reason, it has become a crime for adults to publicly beat a 9-year-old child. At present, the parents of the assault have been criminally detained, and the case is still under further trial. The trial of the authority defines the nature of the incident, and at least at the legal level, parental retaliation is not allowed.
Of course, can the problem be completely solved by merely attacking the beater's family? There are still some fundamental questions that need to be answered urgently: If the boy who was beaten is indeed a habitual offender, has the school ever given effective guidance and management? Why has school bullying not been cured for a long time? How can the police and the courts alone put an end to the breeding of contradictions? We have paid a heavy price for this and we have learned that the core of the whole matter is so deep.
Netizens bombarded the school for its dereliction of duty
The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and the comment area under the official account of the Xinxiang Public Security has completely fallen.
A large number of angry netizens flocked to the school, bombarding the school and the police's weak attitude towards the matter. Someone asked: "Is it wrong to beat someone, and if you should be detained, what should you do with the bully?
Some people also said bitterly: "Everyone knows that violence is wrong, but the teacher has not been found, and the police have not solved the problem, so what should parents do?
In the face of the torrent of public anger, the public security cyber police were speechless. In fact, what everyone said is not reasonable, school bullying incidents do require the joint efforts of all parties, and the problem cannot be solved by only dealing with it on the scene.
The principal responded
The principal's statement is only a partial cover-up. He claimed to have mediated many times, but in the end it led to such a tragedy, which shows that the mediation role of the school is minimal.
The problem of school bullying is gradually downplayed and taken for granted, until the conflict intensifies to the point where it is out of control, and the school has to pay a heavy price for its years of dereliction of duty.
If parents of bullying students teach their children more, how can such a regrettable tragedy occur? Isn't the reason why children become bullies the result of parents' neglect of discipline for a long time?
