Recently, a bullying incident in Hainan has caused widespread outrage among netizens. In the video, a beaten girl was forced to kneel and begged the attackers for mercy. We thought these attackers would be severely punished, but the outcome disappointed us. The attackers cannot be punished harshly because they are under 14, becoming their “get-out-of-jail-free card.”
On March 24, the police mediation result showed that both parties had gathered multiple people to assault each other several times. The rumour that the girl was illegally detained was untrue. However, the parties and their families disagree with this investigation result. So, what is the actual situation?
The victim, Xiaozhu, who was beaten in the incident, said in an interview with the media that the attackers had beaten her for various reasons, such as asking for money to buy breakfast or cigarettes. This time, the reason was that they didn’t like her.
Moreover, the investigation found that multiple people could testify that the attackers had assaulted Xiaozhu on the roadside, in the restroom, and by the ditch.
However, what about the police’s announcement that both parties repeatedly gathered many people to beat each other due to a verbal dispute?
Xiaozhu’s cousin said that Xiaozhu returned to her grandmother’s house after being beaten on the 16th, and because she was afraid to go home, she proposed to escort Xiaozhu home. On the way, they met the attacker, Song, and gathered some friends to beat him while filming a video. Xiaozhu did hit Song in the video, and her cousin was also fined by the police afterwards.
According to Xiaozhu’s cousin, this was only a chance encounter that happened once, different from the police’s announcement of multiple gatherings and beatings by many people.
The author believes that although Xiaozhu’s cousin’s behaviour is illegal, it is reasonable to think about it. If most people knew that their relatives were subjected to such inhumane beatings, how could they endure it? From the punishment of the attackers given by the police, I think what she did is worth it.
Regarding the rumour that Xiaozhu was illegally detained for five days, what are the explanation for her five-day disappearance and multiple bruises when she appeared again at the station in Jialai Town?
Xiaozhu’s teacher told her family that she was missing on the 12th, and her father did not get through her phone until she appeared at the Jialai Town station on the 16th.
During Xiaozhu’s disappearance, her father tried to find her by going out and asking people around him, but he couldn’t find her. Xiaozhu’s phone was always turned off, and there was no news from her during the five-day disappearance. How should we explain this? Was she illegally detained?
When CCTV tried to interview the school, the police station, the public security bureau, and the propaganda department with many questions, they were all refused.
There are still too many questions and details waiting for official explanations. We hope that the relevant departments can explain as soon as possible and that the truth of this incident can be revealed.
