Chapter 179 In Progress
The policewoman shook the girl's hand firmly, then let go, picked up a pen, wrote a phone number on the notebook, tore it off, and put it in her hand.
"From now on, no matter what happens, as long as you call this number, I will come to protect you. Please trust me."
The girl looked at the policewoman's concerned eyes, looked at the note in her hand, and nodded heavily.
After that, several more children came in, both boys and girls.
Through communication, I found out that there are so many bullying incidents in the school. In places where teachers don’t notice and in every hidden corner of the school, such things are happening openly every day.
This is the tragedy of the school, and even more so the tragedy of education!
The principal and several class teachers accompanied the victim in taking statements for the entire morning.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when Han Yiyi's parents arrived at the school.
Han Yiyi's mother yelled at Teacher Xiao: "We sent our child to school and handed him over to you, but now you tell me that my child has been bullied like this. How can you be a teacher? Do you care about the child more?"
In this matter, Teacher Xiao was indeed in the wrong. In response to the accusations from Han Yiyi's mother, he lowered his head and kept apologizing.
The principal waited until Han Yiyi's mother calmed down a little before speaking: "This happened in our school. We do have an unshirkable responsibility, but as parents we are not without fault. I am not putting the blame on you. Last night, I asked the head teacher to call you to inform you, but you didn't take it seriously. This is probably why the child didn't ask you for help the first time. Now that the school knows about this, we did not cover it up or condone it. We directly chose to call the police and notify you again. We are accompanying the child to take a statement. We are now doing our best to protect them and have done everything we can."
Han Yiyi's father also knew that it was useless to blame anyone now. He hugged his crying wife tightly, his eyes red.
He thought that if he sent the child to a good school and left the child to be taken care of by his mother, the child would grow up well. But who would have thought that the child would suffer such a thing?
The principal looked at the sad and upset couple and continued, "The group of perpetrators have been sent to the police station for detention. Their families came to see me today, but I didn't see them. Everyone knows why they want to see me. We are all parents. They are just trying to do everything they can to settle this matter privately."
"Still want to settle it privately?" Han Yiyi's mother gritted her teeth.
Han Yiyi's father was also firm, "It's impossible. It will never be settled privately."
The principal reminded them, "We will also do everything possible to seek justice for these children, but I hope that you can pay more attention to your children through this incident and try to make them trust you. School education is important, but family education cannot be neglected. Let's work together to do a good job of home-school cooperation to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."
"We will. When we go back, we will apply to stay in Pengcheng to work, even if it's just doing odd jobs. We will always be with the child." Han Yiyi's father promised.
The principal nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding. You can contact me at any time for any follow-up questions. At the same time, I will apply to the Education Bureau for a professional psychologist to provide psychological counseling for the children and try not to let these things have a lasting impact on them."
The principal spent the entire afternoon receiving parents of all the victims. No matter how much they cried or made a fuss, he eventually convinced them and temporarily obtained their forgiveness.
As soon as I returned to the office from the meeting room, the parents of the abuser swarmed in.
"Principal, please show some leniency. The children are still young and they don't understand anything. Please help mediate and accept whatever they ask, even if it means asking us to kneel down and apologize."
"Yes, Principal, please. My daughter is a first-time offender. Please give her a chance to reform!"
"Principal, you can't ruin the children's lives because of this incident! They are still young. As long as you give them a chance, they will definitely change."
…
Looking at the noisy office, the principal slapped the table and the office suddenly became quiet.
"This is not a simple fight, it is illegal, and your child knew it was illegal, but still chose to be cruel to his classmates."
As soon as the principal said this, a parent immediately jumped out.
"Why does the school treat my daughter like this? We sent her to your school to receive an education, and now that something is wrong, you just call the police! This is because you didn't educate our child well!"
"Yes, they didn't even give us a chance, they just called the police! Why didn't the students think about our children? If they have a criminal record, their lives will be ruined!"
Some parents even said: "If you dare to ruin my child, don't blame me for being rude! If anyone ruins my child's future, I will fight to the death!"
The principal was calm and composed, "Are you threatening me and the school?"
One parent quickly stepped out to smooth things over, "Principal, I'm sorry, this concerns our child's future, and we got a little excited."
The parent who spoke so wildly wanted to say something but was stopped by the people around him.
If you offend the principal at this time, there will be no room for maneuver.
The principal leaned back in his chair and knocked on the table. "Your child's future is ruined, and you know to fight with others. If the other child doesn't get a fair treatment, who will they fight with? We are all parents. If your child was bullied today, what would your mentality be?"
"But……"
"No buts. Your children have violated the law, and their parents just want justice. If you prevent them from getting even the most basic justice, to put it bluntly, you'll be making enemies. Once you make enemies, who can predict when something might happen out of the blue? By that time, everything you say will be in vain."
The parents broke out in cold sweats after hearing this.
My children are already over 10 years old. Who can guarantee that I can be with them all the time? Who can guarantee that no one is secretly watching the child? Who can guarantee that those bullied children do not have hatred in their hearts?
"Let's go!" One parent slumped his shoulders and waved his hands weakly. "We apologize, kneel down, and ask for forgiveness. If that doesn't work, let the child learn a lesson! It's better than, it's better than... "
The principal remembered a detective novel he had read. The famous detective once said: When justice is not served, private revenge is justified and even noble.
