The boy's mother took her son to bow and apologize
On October 16, the reporter learned from the relevant departments of Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County that on October 12, after an investigation by the local public security organs, it was determined that Li's behavior had constituted intentional harm to others. Because Li was under the age of 14 at the time of the incident, the Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County Public Security Bureau made a decision not to impose administrative punishment on him, ordering his guardian to strictly discipline and actively perform civil compensation liability.
"When we heard about it, we felt guilty and blamed ourselves. He has taken his son to the hospital to bow and apologize to the injured girl and her family, and pay the hospitalization expenses in advance, hoping that the child will get better as soon as possible. We will take our share of responsibility and try to make amends for our son's mistakes and mitigate the harm caused to the injured. In the future, we will learn the lessons of this time and strengthen the supervision of children's education. The mother of the boy involved Li said.
The boy threw water on the girl, causing her to get burned
The Education Bureau once called the boys a "prank"
According to the father of the injured girl, "On the morning of September 29, during recess, my daughter was fetching water from the water dispenser under the school building. When she was halfway through the water, she felt that the water was hotter than usual and wanted to pour it out. At this time, a senior boy I didn't know next to me said to help her unscrew the lid of the cup. After the boy took the water glass, he splashed water on my daughter, causing my daughter to be burned on her face, neck, chest, abdomen, left thigh and other places. "Relatives and friends of the injured students called the police after the incident. On October 1, the Rucheng Township Police Station of Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County launched an investigation into the administrative case of intentional injury to others.
