After a student suicide suspected of being caused by school violence shocked public opinion, Lam Dong Provincial Police quickly intervened, urgently investigating and clarifying the nature of the incident.
From the evidence collected, the investigating agency identified a group of 13 students involved, prosecuted defendant N.H. V for the crime of "Extortion", and at the same time continued to consolidate the file to handle other acts.
Over the years, many cases of school violence have been underestimated with phrases such as "children fighting", "adolescent conflicts".
It is that leniency that makes many deviant behaviors not prevented early, and then the consequences become increasingly serious.
In this case, according to initial investigation information, the victim was not only beaten but also forced to give money every day. When he did not have money, he had to collect scrap to submit to a group of friends.
That detail makes many people heartbroken. An 8th grade child has to live in fear right in his school.
More frightening is the prolonged mental control. Threats "if told to the family, they will be beaten harder" may be just impulsive words for adults, but for teenagers, it is terrible psychological pressure.
A student cannot naturally seek death if he is not seriously mentally traumatized.
Therefore, prosecuting and strictly handling related acts is necessary to protect fairness for victims, and at the same time strongly warn that school violence is not outside the law.
What society needs at this time is not only to handle violating individuals, but also to look directly at the gaps in the school environment.
Regarding the case of male student suicide, such a prolonged conflict, did the school receive any previous feedback?
Have the homeroom teacher, school board and related departments detected any abnormal signs of students yet?
Why does a child have to endure pressure for a long time without being protected in time?
These are questions that need to be answered clearly.
Because the scariest thing in school is not just violence, but silence in the face of violence.
Schools must be the safest place for students. If every day of going to class is a day of living in fear, then that is a failure of the educational environment.
Therefore, along with strictly handling violations, it is necessary to build a safe feedback receiving mechanism so that students dare to speak out when being bullied.
Schools must strengthen psychological counseling, closely coordinate with families and functional agencies to detect early abnormal signs.
