Recently, a shocking incident of school violence occurred in a middle school in Jiangxi. A 12-year-old girl inadvertently touched a girl's shoulder at a sports day held by her school, triggering a series of vicious incidents. That night, the girl who was hit gathered 8 classmates, found the little girl, and carried out an astonishing act of violence. They took turns slapping the little girl, and the whole process lasted for three hours, until the little girl's face was swollen, her lips were puffy, and her eyes were swollen to the point where she couldn't see clearly.
Tossing and turning, coupled with the threat of **, the little girl felt helpless and painfully endured all this, and no one cared about her injuries when she returned to the dormitory. The next day, the little girl faced the ridicule and discrimination of her classmates again, she couldn't bear it anymore, and called her mother **, hoping to go home. Ms. Wu was very distressed when she saw her daughter's injuries and immediately took her to the hospital for examination. The doctor told Ms. Wu that the child's eardrum perforation required surgery**.
In order to seek justice for her daughter, Ms. Wu called the police. Subsequently, the parents of the abuser also came to the hospital to apologize, but their attitude was weird, and even ridiculed Ms. Wu for trying to ask for more compensation. What made Ms. Wu even more chilling was that the school did not deal with the violent girl, but advocated that Ms. Wu reconcile. After this incident was ** by netizens, it attracted widespread attention, and the school and the Education Bureau also quickly responded, claiming that they would investigate the matter and provide psychological counseling for the victims, and the medical expenses would be paid by the parents of the abusers in advance.
Worryingly, however, there was no mention of any punishment for the eight girls who committed the violence. This sparked questions and indignation among netizens, who questioned why the school did not find the little girl for three hours without seeing anyone. Some people even spoke out, "This situation should be able to sue the school, right?"None of these eight classmates can escape, and if the school does not take measures, only the victim's family will come forward to solve the problem. ”
School bullying incidents have become almost commonplace, especially when it comes to minors. Such incidents have caused irreversible damage to the physical and mental health of the victims, and what is even more puzzling is that under the laws protecting minors, the perpetrators are often not criminally responsible, but only receive verbal education or even pay for some medical expenses. The victims, on the other hand, have to endure a lifetime of pain and psychological shadows.
In this school bullying incident, the little girl's mother chose to accept compensation and send her daughter back to school, perhaps out of some helplessness. After all, the perpetrators are minors, and they are not legally responsible. If you insist on reporting to the police and fighting a lawsuit, it may not achieve the goal of punishing those responsible, but will make the victim experience pain again, and bring more trouble and negative effects.
However, such compromises and choices actually bring some skepticism. Should we tolerate school violence?Does the victim's choice of an unjust solution for the sake of his or her own benefit send the perpetrator a sign of impunity?Under the laws that protect minors, should we reform the laws so that perpetrators can also be held more accountable and subject to harsher punishments?
For school bullying incidents, we need to think from the perspective of education and family. Schools should establish a complete set of mechanisms and measures to prevent and respond to school violence to protect the rights and interests of every student. Teachers and parents should teach children to respect others and develop positive values and morals. At the same time, society also needs to invest more resources to strengthen psychological counseling and mental health education to help children who are bullied at school get rid of psychological distress and rebuild their self-confidence and courage.
To sum up, school bullying is a serious social problem that needs to be given enough attention and attention. We cannot allow minors to wantonly harm others under the protection of the law, let alone leave victims in a state of despair and helplessness. While protecting minors, we should think about how to reform the law and strengthen education to combat school bullying so that every child can grow up in a safe and healthy environment.
