In the video, the boy was tied to a telephone pole, and an uncle whipped the boy desperately with an object similar to a wire, causing the boy to be scarred all over his body. On the boy's back alone, there are dozens of whiplash scars, which makes people sad to see. At such a young age, the immature skin is so badly damaged.
Journalists contacted
After the incident, the reporter called the staff of the Hetou Town Government to understand the situation. The staff responded that the matter had been dealt with and that the attacker was not the father of the child. A notice will be issued in the future, and all information in the report shall prevail.
This incident sparked heated discussions among netizens
Some netizens believe that the beater's behavior is intentional injury!
Some netizens said that parents do not have time to educate their children, and there is no problem for people in the same village to help educate them.
Some netizens also felt that the man's behavior was not exaggerated at all, if he didn't whip the child like this now, maybe the child would do something in the future.
But more netizens believe that if a child steals something, you can call the police, but you can't whip it, which is a crime.
Personal opinion
In my opinion, the uncle's behavior is seriously wrong. Children do need to be disciplined for stealing things, after all, there is an old saying, "steal needles when you are young, steal gold when you are old", if you don't discipline them well now, your child's behavior may become more serious when she grows up in the future, but you shouldn't let your child be hurt so seriously. Parents should be contacted to inform them of their behaviour and have them discipline them, or they should call the police so that they can educate their children and understand the seriousness of the matter.
Now the harm caused to the child is not only unacceptable to the child's parents, but also not allowed by laws and regulations, and a large amount of compensation is required. Therefore, when dealing with this matter at the beginning, the uncle was still too impulsive.
