Principal of Zhongguancun Second Little Bullying Incident:
Recently, a parent of Zhongguancun No. 2 Primary School in Beijing posted on the Internet "Every mother and child are life and death friends, I want to accompany him to say NO to campus bullying!", saying that the child has been bullied by his classmates for a long time, and was even buttoned by his classmates with a toilet trash basket on November 24. After the incident, the child developed symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, and fear of going to school, which were diagnosed as acute stress reactions. The parents said that "the teacher called this matter an'excessive joke 'and made us make things smaller, so we can't accept it." And has reported the matter to the Haidian District Education Commission.
Zhongguancun No. 2 Primary School responded to this incident at noon today:

Regarding the school's response, the parents involved have not made any further statement yet.
According to the parents' description in the online post, the following four requests she made were not accepted by the school.
1. Deal with and punish children who commit violence.
2. Protect my son from second-degree harm.
3. Ask the abuser's parents to apologize.
4. The other party shall bear the corresponding treatment costs.
The online post also said that the head teacher called the parents to go to the school for an interview. Four teachers, including the head teacher, the school secretary, the vice principal of moral education, and a certain teacher, the male secretary came up to attack, yell, and roll their eyes from time to time. Poor parents took notebooks and pens and wanted to record the school's handling opinions. This time, they became like prisoners, without dignity, and they couldn't remember a single point, because all the points revolved around her being an excessive parent: if a child is injured at school, the school should be in charge, and parents should not have opinions. It was wrong to ask the other parent to apologize: in the end, they had attacked me as an unqualified mother.
The parents added: "What makes my dad angry is that the head teacher asked my child to interact frequently with the bullying child without asking the child's consent. He insisted on letting them play together, and took pictures that seemed to be'harmonious' and posted them in the class group. When the child has already developed a stress response, the head teacher's actions have exacerbated his trauma, and he is willing to sacrifice the child's mental health in order to'look fine '. This is something that Dad can't bear! The child came home from school that day crying and saying that he doesn't want to go to school anymore."
According to the father of the bullied student, Peng Peng (a pseudonym), the boy who blocked the door that day, was much taller and heavier than his son, and harassed his son for a long time. "He gave him a nickname, mocked his family's financial situation, and started bullying him after he was in the fourth grade." Another boy who threw trash baskets, Guoguo (a pseudonym), was a friend of Peng Peng and often cooperated with Peng Peng's actions to bully his son together.
