Does rickets need to be beaten to be cured? In 2010, a mother in Guangzhou's Tianhe district believed her neighbor's words and beat her 7-year-old son to death.
The two stay-at-home mothers are like sisters, and they often buy vegetables and cook together and educate their children together on weekdays.
But on December 30, 2010, the two joined forces to beat Chen Meiqiong's 7-year-old son to death.
On March 6, 2012, the case of the two suspected intentional injuries was openly tried in the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court. In court, they blamed each other and blamed each other, and the old friendship was gone......
**The child's name is Qi Jun (pseudonym), and his mother's name is Chen Meiqiong.
Chen Meiqiong, born in 1982, is a native of Zengcheng, Guangdong, and after graduating from junior high school, she came to Guangzhou with her brother Chen Anpeng to make a living.
Chen Meiqiong's husband's name is Qi Mintian, and the two got married in 2002. Qi Mintian is 22 years older than Chen Meiqiong, a seafarer, and is away from home all year round.
In 2004, Chen Meiqiong gave birth to a seven-pound boy by caesarean section and named Qi Jun. In order to take care of her children, she quit her job and became a full-time wife.
Qi Mintian was middle-aged and couldn't help but be overjoyed. In 2009, he bought a large house in Tianhe District and let his wife and son move in.
The new house is spacious and bright, Chen Meiqiong is very satisfied, the only thing that bothers her is that her son is becoming more and more stubborn and very difficult to manage.
Kindergarten teachers often report that Qi Jun can't be quiet in class, likes to make small movements, and takes the initiative to provoke other students, sometimes even crying hysterically and making ......
was repeatedly complained by teachers, Chen Meiqiong was very upset, but she was not highly educated and didn't know how to educate her children.
After Qi Mintian found out, he said: "It's normal for a boy to be naughty, it's better to let your brother come over to live and help you watch the army." ”
So, Chen Meiqiong invited her brother Chen Anpeng to her home. But Chen Anpeng knew that his brother-in-law loved the child, and he didn't dare to care, and gradually, Qi Jun was spoiled a little arrogantly.
In July 2010, Chen Meiqiong's house came to her female neighbor Wang Mansha.
Wang Mansha lives upstairs from Chen Meiqiong, and she is responsible for inviting Chen Meiqiong to join the community owners' committee. Chen Meiqiong immediately agreed, and then the two became frequent.
Wang Mansha has a warm and cheerful personality, polite and generous, she is the same age as Chen Meiqiong, she is also a full-time mother, and she has a daughter at home, named Fang Jiaojiao, who is two years older than Qi Jun.
Because the husbands of the two families are busy with work, the two women are at home on weekdays, and soon, they become good friends in the same situation, often meeting to send their children to school together, buy groceries, cook and go shopping together.
Wang Mansha's daughter is well-behaved and lovely, and she performs extremely well in school, every time Chen Meiqiong comes to visit, she will greet her politely, pour water for her, and take fruit? Chen Meiqiong was envious.
She said to Wang Mansha: "You can train your child so well, if you don't let my son recognize you as a godmother, you can help me teach him well!" ”
Wang Mansha was noncommittal. After begging many times, Wang Mansha said: "Okay, it depends on whether you are willing to be a tiger mother!" ”
Chen Meiqiong didn't know why, Wang Mansha continued: "There are talents under the stick! ”
Chen Meiqiong thought she was joking, and said with a smile: "Who is not a child now, who can bear to fight?" Besides, if I fight the army, his father will have to fight with me. ”
Later, when she saw Chen Meiqiong turned pale with anger from her son, Wang Mansha would say: "You have to beat him hard!" But Chen Meiqiong has never moved a finger to her son.
One day in August 2010, Chen Meiqiong and Wang Mansha were shopping in the supermarket when they suddenly received a request from the kindergarten teacher asking her to come over as soon as possible.
It turned out that Qi Jun caused trouble again in the kindergarten! He dyed a girl's back clothes in colorful watercolors, and the little girl's eyes were red from crying.
The teacher said helplessly: "Qi Jun gets into trouble every three or five times, we really don't have the confidence to teach him well, you take him back and educate him well." I really can't go to the hospital to see, is there something wrong? ”
was beaten down by the teacher in front of her friends, and Chen Meiqiong was silent all the way.
Why don't you take Junjun to the hospital for a check-up, don't really do what the teacher said, what disease does the child have? Wang Mansha said.
Chen Meiqiong hesitated. Wang Mansha said again: "It's okay, my mother is a doctor, I can ask her to help us introduce medical professors and help the child take a good look." ”
Chen Meiqiong's heart was moved. Early the next morning, Wang Mansha told Chen Meiqiong that she had told her mother about the child's condition, and the old man suggested that they go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
Chen Meiqiong immediately took her son and Wang Mansha to the hospital. The two first registered Qi Jun in the pediatric department, then opened a list, and went for a blood test.
Qi Jun was pricked by needles and cried and made trouble, and Chen Meiqiong was upset. Wang Mansha said thoughtfully: "The test results will take a while, or you go back first, wait for the report to come out, let my mother find someone to take a look, and then notify you if there is anything." ”
Chen Meiqiong was grateful. After the lunch break, Wang Mansha came back and brought a diagnosis certificate.
The doctor's handwriting was dancing like a phoenix, and Chen Meiqiong couldn't understand it at all. Wang Mansha pointed to the diagnosis with a solemn face and said to her: "Junjun's cerebellum is underdeveloped, his intelligence is not up to the level of his peers, and he suffers from rickets. ”
Hearing this, Chen Meiqiong's legs went weak: "Is this disease serious, do you need to be hospitalized?" ”
It is not very serious, and it is a common chronic nutritional deficiency in children. Children with this disease have increased nerve excitability, irritability, irritability, and fussiness, and the disease will progress to the middle stage, which will also affect the lesions in bone development.
The doctor said that the army is now in the middle stage, and the best way to correct this bone lesion is to inflict appropriate corporal punishment on him. I have a friend who works as a pediatrician in the United States, and she has a lot of research in this area, and next time I will send her her the child's medical records and ask her to mail some special medicines.
Chen Meiqiong is not highly educated, and she listened to her friend's words, so she was convinced and full of gratitude to her.
September 1, 2010 was the day Qi Jun went to elementary school, and along the way, he was depressed. When he arrived at the door of the new classroom, he suddenly grabbed his mother's clothes, Chen Meiqiong asked him to let go, and he began to cry again.
Seeing that her skirt was about to be pulled off by her son, Chen Meiqiong's face turned red.
When Wang Mansha saw this scene, she came over and said, "The doctors all said that you should be punished appropriately, but you can't do it, so you can only make jokes like this." ”
Chen Meiqiong was ruthless, closed her eyes, and slapped her son in public.
Qi Jun stopped crying and looked at his mother, his eyes full of tears. Chen Meiqiong has mixed feelings in her heart.
It may be the first time in his life that he has been beaten, this slap has a good deterrent effect on Qi Jun, he let go of his hand, quieted down, and obediently walked into the classroom.
Chen Meiqiong returned to the car and couldn't help crying in front of Wang Mansha.
Wang Mansha comforted her and said: "How can my child not feel distressed, we are also good for him!" ”
Chen Meiqiong was in pain, she immediately gave Wang Mansha 20,000 yuan, begging her to contact her friends in the United States as soon as possible and ask her to mail some imported medicines. Wang Mansha agreed.
Within three days of her son's school, Chen Meiqiong received a complaint from the teacher**: We are a school, not a kindergarten, and it is impossible to watch the children all day long, so parents are also asked to cooperate with the education of their children. ”
Chen Meiqiong apologized to the teacher again and again, she ruthlessly slapped her son again, and asked him to stand in the corridor.
At the beginning, Qi Jun would let out a desolate cry and begged her bitterly with a pair of small eyes, and after many times, it was gone.
After her brother Chen Anpeng found out, he asked her not to physically punish the child, Chen Meiqiong took the diagnosis certificate brought by Wang Mansha before and said to her brother: "Junjun has rickets and needs corporal punishment."
Qi Mintian was very displeased when she learned that his wife used corporal punishment of her ** son, and asked her not to believe what others said, saying that others might be lying to her. But Chen Meiqiong didn't believe it.
After the old man in the family heard about the child, he guessed that Qi Jun was suffering from pediatric epilepsy. In October 2010, Chen Meiqiong took her son to have an electroencephalogram (EEG), and the results were normal.
But after coming back, the Qi army still repeatedly ran into trouble, which made Chen Meiqiong believe Wang Mansha's statement even more.
She took out a bamboo stick and hit her son's calves, heels, arms and other parts, and reprimanded him while beating: "You know that you are naughty and always embarrass me." Why can't you give me a fight? ”
Sometimes she was tired, so she asked Wang Mansha to help her fight, and the neighbors often saw Qi Jun covered in injuries and stood in the corridor to punish her.
Soon, Wang Mansha's friend mailed the medicine from the United States. Because it was all in English, Chen Meiqiong couldn't understand it at all.
I couldn't tell whether the imported medicine had worked or the corporal punishment had an effect, Qi Jun was much quieter than before, and rarely cried for no reason.
Chen Meiqiong was very grateful to Wang Mansha for her help, and gave her more than 30,000 yuan to help buy medicine. Wang Mansha did not refuse.
Since then, Wang Mansha and Chen Meiqiong have not only gone shopping and shopping for vegetables together, but also have one more "cooperation", which is to "educate" Qi Jun with a stick together.
On the afternoon of December 30, 2010, after school, Qi Jun said that he wanted to drink Coke. Chen Meiqiong gave him money and asked him to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy it by himself.
But more than an hour passed, and my son still didn't come up. Chen Meiqiong thought that he had gone upstairs to Wang Mansha's house to play.
But when she walked into Wang Mansha's house, she only saw Wang Mansha wearing an apron and cooking, while Jiaojiao was quietly helping her mother pick vegetables.
The warm picture of the mother and daughter moved Chen Meiqiong very much, and she was even a little jealous: if her son is half as well-behaved and excellent as Jiaojiao, she will have nothing else to ask for!
Seeing that her son didn't come up at all, Chen Meiqiong panicked, ran downstairs, and went to the supermarket to find her son.
The supermarket area is not large, and after walking through a few shelves, Chen Meiqiong suddenly saw her son squatting on the ground and stealing biscuits.
The scene in front of her deeply stung Chen Meiqiong, and the jealousy and anger ignited at the touch of a touch. She tried to restrain herself, dragged her son off the ground, apologized to the supermarket owner and paid the money.
Chen Meiqiong took her son to the door of Wang Mansha's house. Probably feeling that he was going to be beaten again, Qi Jun hesitated and did not dare to enter the door.
Chen Meiqiong lifted her son up with one hand, pushed him into the house with the other, and slammed the door shut.
She slapped her son hard, scolding while beating: "When did you learn to be a thief?" ”
Wang Mansha learned that Qi Jun had just stolen food in the supermarket, and began to accuse Qi Jun of adding fuel to the fire.
Chen Meiqiong was even more furious, she walked into the bathroom, picked up the mop, and hit her son with the mop handle again. Qi Jun was beaten and cried heartbreakingly, and Chen Meiqiong was no longer distressed.
When she was tired, Wang Mansha took the mop and hit Qi Jun's ass again, she said while beating: "Why don't you study so well, disobedient ......."
Seeing that the two adults were fighting Qi Jun, Jiaojiao first came over to stop her, and after being stopped by her mother, she went back to the room alone with some fear.
Chen Meiqiong looked at Jiaojiao, full of jealousy for her, and hated her son at the same time.
She walked over, tore her son's clothes, pushed him to the ground, and kicked him hard.
This time, no matter how Qi Jun cried and begged for mercy, Chen Meiqiong did not relent: "Who told you not to study well and be a thief." She scolded as she scolded.
Dinner was not finished, Chen Meiqiong was furious, and together with Wang Mansha, she beat her son to vomit a lot of blood before stopping.
At around 12 o'clock in the evening, Chen Meiqiong sent her son home and turned on the water heater to let him take a bath. Then he returned to Wang Mansha's house, and the two cleaned up their son's vomit together.
At one o'clock in the morning the next day, Chen Meiqiong came down from upstairs. The elder brother came back and was watching TV, and the son was sleeping alone in the bedroom.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, when her son was still sleeping, Chen Meiqiong walked over and asked him if he had breakfast. Qi Jun let out a weak "um".
Chen Meiqiong said: "I came to the living room to eat by myself, and I went to buy vegetables." ”
At around 12 noon, Chen Meiqiong came home and found that her son was still sleeping, so she rushed into the room and shouted to him to get up.
She noticed that her son's face was cold and his eyes were closed. Only then did she panic and called Wang Mansha to send her son to a nearby hospital with her.
Two hours later, the doctor told them that the child had died after resuscitation.
Chen Meiqiong immediately fainted and fell to the ground. Wang Mansha muttered to herself: "No, how can you die?" ”
After waking up, Chen Meiqiong dialed her husband's **. Afraid that her husband would blame, she had to choke up and say, "My son has an unexpected ......."”
Qi Mintian was full of grief in his heart, but he still told his wife very rationally: "Don't be cremated, wait for me to go back!" ”
The next day, Qi Mintian insisted that the hospital keep the body and wait for forensic identification on the grounds that his son had died unnaturally and that the cause of death was doubtful.
Chen Meiqiong felt remorse and fear, she began to have insomnia, and sat on her son's bed in fear every day.
On January 24, 2011, the results of the appraisal came out: Qi Jun was hit by a blunt object and died of hemorrhagic shock caused by repeated uninterrupted blows.
When he died as a child, he had more than 60 wounds on his body and weighed only 24 kilograms, which was "thin and severely malnourished".
Chen Meiqiong knew that she had nothing to hide, struggled for a long time, and went to the Tianhe District Public Security Bureau alone to surrender.
On the same day, she was arrested on suspicion of intentional injury. Under her confession, Wang Mansha was also detained.
It wasn't until after the case that Chen Meiqiong learned that her son didn't have rickets at all, but just a common ADHD in children.
This was clearly stated in the medical certificate at the time. If parents seek medical attention in time, take drugs, psychological and other aspects, they can be cured.
Before the trial, Chen Meiqiong finally learned that Wang Mansha had been infertile since marriage, and her daughter Fang Jiaojiao was her adopted daughter.
She put all her sustenance on nurturing her daughter. But despite this, there is always an invisible and intangible estrangement between the mother and daughter.
After a long time, Wang Mansha's heart was depressed. After coming into contact with Chen Meiqiong, she felt a faint pain in her heart when she saw the close blood relationship between her and her son.
Especially when Chen Meiqiong talked about her childbirth, the pain and happiness made her think that it was the biggest mockery of herself.
So she fabricated the so-called rickets to make Qi Jun accept corporal punishment and alienate the relationship between their mother and son. And the so-called imported medicine is also a daily health care product that she found from the Internet, which has no effect at all.
On March 6, 2012, Chen Meiqiong and Wang Mansha were tried at the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court on suspicion of intentional injury.
Qi Mintian was grief-stricken, and filed an attached civil lawsuit against the two, demanding compensation for death compensation and spiritual solace totaling more than 100 yuan, and asked the court to severely punish the two.
Chen Meiqiong, who was sitting in the defendant's seat, was emotional and cried bitterly several times; And Wang Mansha kept her head down, she asked her lawyer many times before: Has her daughter Jiaojiao been picked up by her father, does she think about herself?
In court, Chen Meiqiong and Wang Mansha's defenders objected to the prosecution's accusation of intentional injury.
Chen Meiqiong's defender believes that she is suspected of negligence causing death, saying that she did not have the subjective intention to harm her son's physical health, and was deceived, and voluntarily surrendered to ** after the incident, and asked the court to reduce the punishment and sentence a suspended sentence.
Wang Mansha's defender said that this case should be characterized as malfeting to death, which meets the characteristics of the crime of maltreatment, and said: "Qi Jun's injuries were formed over a long period of time, and the beating on the night of the crime was not enough to cause death." ”
The court held that Chen Meiqiong was the principal offender in this case, and Wang Mansha was an accomplice, and although the purpose of the two people's actions was to educate the children and correct the children's bad habits, judging from the location and scope of Qi Jun's injuries, the two defendants subjectively had the intention to harm and also carried out the acts of intentional harm.
However, in view of the fact that Chen Meiqiong and Wang Mansha used violence because of education, the social vile nature is small, and the attitude of repentance is better, in July 2012, the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court sentenced Chen Meiqiong to 8 years in prison for the crime of intentional injury, and Wang Mansha was sentenced to 6 years in prison, with a total of more than 50 yuan in civil compensation for the two, with Chen Meiqiong accounting for 80% and Wang Mansha accounting for 20%.
After the verdict was announced, Wang Mansha said that she would appeal, and Chen Meiqiong said that she needed to go back and think about it.
Postscript: In fact, every child has his own happiness and growth, after all, there are no two identical leaves in the world.
Raising children is a difficult and long process, which requires us to have a calm and rational heart at all times, respect the laws of children's own growth, correctly understand the problems faced by children in their growth, and help and correct them in time.
Chen Meiqiong hopes that her son will become a dragon, she listens to and believes partially, not only burying the child's life, but also ruining her own happy life with her own hands.
And Wang Mansha herself was unhappy, when her friend approached her with a positive and sunny attitude, it ignited the long-suppressed resentment in her heart, and finally blasphemed her mother's love.
