Parent: "The quilt can no longer be used"
Yesterday morning, near the entrance of Nanning Hydropower Technical School, Ma Wei's mother Liu Mei (pseudonym) was heartbroken. "The child grew taller than his father when he was raised to this age, and then he just disappeared." Liu Mei said that they are from Chongzuo and promised to make a new quilt for their son for the winter when school started, but the quilt has not been used yet and her son is gone.
Liu Mei’s husband Ma Hong (pseudonym) stood by the school’s large iron gate, holding it tightly with his hands and looking blankly in the direction of the student dormitory building. "My son was beaten to death in the dormitory building." Ma Hong said that her son is 18 years old, in the second grade of junior high school, and is the deputy monitor and student union cadre. On October 27, they received a call from the school saying that their child was in the hospital for emergency treatment. They thought he had some illness, so the couple immediately rushed to the hospital from Chongzuo, but they didn't even see him for the last time.
Students: There are many conflicts in the dormitory
At about 12 noon yesterday, the reporter noticed that many students came out of the school to discuss the matter of "Ma Wei was beaten to death". Some came Parents who contacted the student said they had been informed of the incident. "I'm very worried about the safety of my children and hope this won't happen again." one parent said worriedly.
A boy in the same grade as Ma Wei told reporters that at about 11 pm on October 26, when the school had a late recess, Ma Wei was inspecting the dormitories according to his duties and found that there were things scattered in one of the dormitories. After seeing the phenomenon, he ordered the dormitory members to tidy up, but the other party refused, and a dispute ensued.
At about 0:00 that night, six classmates from the dormitory came to Ma Wei's dormitory, pulled him up from the bed and started a group fight. During this period, the dormitory staff did not take the initiative to stop him, nor did he attract the attention of the school administrators. As a result, Ma Wei was knocked unconscious on the spot and died after being sent to the hospital where rescue efforts failed.
The school admitted that there was management negligence
After the incident, Nanning Xixiangtang Public Security Bureau quickly took control of 9 students in the dormitory. After investigation, 6 of them participated in beating Ma Wei, the police have detained him. Principal Huang of the school told reporters that the school has actively negotiated with the victim's family to deal with the aftermath. It is heartbreaking and regrettable that such an incident happened in the school.
"We often do safety education work for students, but we never expected that something like this would happen." Principal Huang said that the student involved had drank privately outside the school before being beaten, indicating that the school had certain management negligence. In the future, the school must strengthen safety management in all aspects.
Education Bureau: School violence is reflective
We can’t imagine why no one stopped or notified the teacher in a dormitory where so many people lived. A person in charge of the relevant departments of the Nanning Municipal Education Bureau told reporters that the existence of school violence is a combination of social atmosphere and the characteristics of teenagers. This kind of blind comparison, competition for favor, blind pursuit of heroism, excessive possessiveness, etc. are reflected in teenagers to varying degrees. This kind of thing happened in full view of the public, and all sectors of society should think deeply and reflect on it.
It is understood that the victim’s family is currently seeking compensation of 200,000 yuan from the school, but the school believes that it should not bear the main responsibility and plans to compensate 40,000 yuan. The reporter interviewed lawyer Lai from Guangxi Tongwang Law Firm. "In fact, both the school and the students involved are responsible." Lawyer Li said that the school and the students involved should bear civil liability for compensation. If the student involved is underage, his or her guardian can bear the civil liability for compensation.
