Recently, a video circulating on the Internet is heartbreaking. In the Zhengda Dongsheng Community in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, a five-year-old boy jokingly called a man in his thirties "son" during a cheerful play, but unexpectedly, this fluttering joke was exchanged for a violent response from the man. The man unexpectedly kicked the boy in the temple and the back of the head mercilessly, a scene that made countless people worry.
On June 27, a reporter in Hubei Province interviewed Ms. Zhang, the mother of the injured boy, who posted the video. Ms. Zhang sadly recalled that at 7:40 p.m. on the night of the incident, the child was playing alone downstairs with his friends, and in just ten minutes, he was ruthlessly injured by the man in the same community. The man is a burly man who occasionally entertains her parents in the card room on weekdays and occasionally teases her children. But no one could have imagined that the joke of the day would turn into a tragedy.
According to the hospital certificate provided by Ms. Zhang, the child suffered severe trauma to his head and face, a contusion to the skin of the right eye socket, bleeding from his temple, and a large bag in the back of his head. She said bitterly that the incident had left a deep psychological shadow on the young child. What made her even more unacceptable was that the man was still carrying his daughter at that time, and he was rude to an innocent child in front of his daughter.
Ms. Zhang said that if the child's words are really inappropriate, she will personally educate the child and apologize to the other party. But no matter what, she can't accept this kind of countering violence with violence. She believes that as an adult, you should have basic sanity and self-control, rather than using violence to solve problems.
At present, Ms. Zhang has reported the case to the police. On June 27, the reporter contacted the Jianguo Street Police Station in Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou City, and the staff said that they had accepted the case and were fully investigating. The police promised to deal with the matter in accordance with the law and seek justice for the injured child.
For this incident, netizens expressed their indignation. Some netizens believe that although the child's joke may be excessive, the man's behavior is too extreme. They called for respect for others in all circumstances, especially when dealing with innocent children, and to be sensible and tolerant.
