A breaking news story instantly covered the headlines in Hong Kong, a 13-year-old female student attacked her classmates with a knife in a secondary school in Tuen Mun, causing heated discussions among parents.
According to reports, the incident occurred at Ho Fook Tong College of the Church of Christ in Tuen Mun, which is a secondary school at the Band 3 level, and the quality of teaching and teaching is relatively poor at this level.
The school spirit is relatively relaxed, but the incident of a knife attack has never been heard of, so the police were shocked when they received the report and quickly dispatched police forces to the college to investigate.
It is reported that the 13-year-old female student is a classmate of the school's second year of junior high school, and the attack was on a male classmate in the same class, and they had a quarrel before the incident.
During the last class teacher of the day, a female student suddenly took out a 30-centimeter fruit knife, walked up to a male student two rows in front of her, and attacked him, after which the female student was subdued by others.
Obviously, the boy did not expect the other party to have a knife, and he was caught off guard, and was stabbed in multiple places on his right shoulder, back and arm, but fortunately he was awake and sent to Tuen Mun Hospital by ambulance after the school called the police.
The Hong Kong police arrived at the scene to arrest the female student on suspicion of "wounding", mobilized the criminal investigation team to investigate the motive of the female student's attack, and arranged for the female student to go to court the next day, that is, on May 17.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Hong Kong media approached the school the next morning to inquire, and the two vice principals said that the female classmate was usually very quiet and had no record of emotional illness, and she was not excited when she attacked the boy.
The process lasted about 10 seconds, and the two female teachers present immediately stopped it, but the female classmates did not resist, and obediently obeyed the teacher's persuasion to put down the sharp knife, believing that the incident was accidental and not normal.
The boy who was attacked was very agitated but sane, and the teacher gave him first aid treatment on the spot, mainly suffering skin and trauma, which were confirmed by the hospital X-ray that there were no injuries to the muscles and bones.
The case has entered the court's deliberations, but the parents are still very worried, after all, why would a quiet girl have a knife in her schoolbag and pick it up and stab her classmates at every turn, which is really terrible.
After the incident, in addition to calling the police and reporting to the higher education bureau, the school immediately entered into an emergency crisis treatment, and on the day of the incident, it issued a notice to inform the parents of the school and explain the progress of the incident.
The notice is drafted by the principal, and there will be no speculation about the case, and the class teacher of each class will be arranged to notify the class of the incident the next day, so as to let the children know the truth of the matter.
Although the girl was in the court trial stage, she was unable to resume classes at the same time, and a psychologist and school social worker would be arranged to assess the psychological state of the female student and conduct a professional assessment.
In addition to the school, the school has set up a temporary handling team, including psychologists and social workers from the Hong Kong Education Bureau to ensure the students' emotional stability and mental health.
The Hong Kong Education Bureau has also activated the "Crisis Management Team" to provide counselling services to students, parents and even teachers and staff in need, keep in touch and provide appropriate support and assistance.
The incident has entered the court procedure, the school has made a clear report, the media has explained thoroughly, the Hong Kong Government Education Bureau has intervened in a timely manner, and the various procedures have been cooperated by the crisis team.
