Parent Says Child Lost Two Front Teeth at School, Confronts Officials at Meeting

Teacher, I'm Zhu Hao's par— —ent. Sorry to interrupt.

My child is in this class. On November 23, his front teeth were broken. The school is shirking responsibility, and the other child's parents refuse to cooperate with treatment.

You understand? My child is injured now, and I'm paying out of my own pocket for my son's medical care.

You understand? It's been— —16 days since this happened. Sixteen days, —and it still hasn't been properly resolved.

Our homeroom teacher, Ma— —is about to start the parents' meeting.

I know, I know, but I need to tell everyone again, my child here doesn't have personal safety.

What about the other children? Today, this happened to me.

Two of my child's front teeth were broken.

Before he turns 18, and after he turns 18, he'll need treatment for a long time.

If this isn't resolved for me, then something similar could happen to one of our other parents' children too, —right?

—This issue, this issue, let me first— Don't interrupt me. Don't interrupt me.

—Are you the principal? —I, I'm not the principal.

Are you—I'm the director. You're the director, right?

The school has already been informed about this.

If you can resolve it, tell me, but if you can't, —let someone who can handle it speak.

—I can handle it. —My child can't attend class normally.

We can't waste— —all the parents' time. My child—I haven't wasted —anyone's time. I'm using— —today's parents' meeting.

I'm just telling everyone here what happened.

Now there's no surveillance footage. The teacher was fired, and they can't find the weapon, you understand? My child lost two front teeth. They were broken, smashed, and he can't eat normally for six years.

He'll need six years of treatment. He has to go to the Second Health Care Hospital, you understand?

The other child's parents won't show up.

The school is shirking respon— sibility and won't resolve this.

I'm telling you, I'll definitely get my son justice. My son is at this school, and I haven't withheld a single cent of the tuition fees, right?

Are you finished? Hurry up. No, Director Zhang— What kind of attitude is this?

What do you mean, 'Are you finished'? My child can't attend class normally.

Why can the other child—the one who assaulted him— why can they —attend class normally?

Well, fine. Let me give everyone an explanation. Parents, right now— —Right now—this happened to my chil— d, and one day it's bound to happen to one of your children too.

My child was left disabled after they beat him.

The school is shirking responsibility, and the other child's parents thought they couldn't afford this huge bill, so they stopped showing up, you know?

I still say, if you're able to have a child, then have one.

Don't think that because your child is below the legal age, you can wait until they're of legal age to kill someone and then do nothing about it.

The school. Th-this, th-this. - I have a heart condition.

You—you, what are you upset about? - Then I'll call the police now. Go ahead and call them.

Call the police, call whoever you want.

Something like this happened to my child at school, and you're telling them to call the police, - after they left my child disabled.

This is a parent-teacher meeting, we can't let this incident take up all the parents' - time.

I also need to tell everyone, - I'm telling— You, you— You've already told us now, - in a moment—six days...

- You've kept shirking responsibility. You keep shirking it.

Constantly, constantly, since the incident, from the beginning until now.

- Let me tell you something. Yes, go ahead. The outcome, right?

Then who will pay for my six years of dental treatment, and my hospital bills?

My, my, my child was injured, - I myself— Parents— Parents, we're not discussing this here. We're not discussing it here.

All the parents came to hear about this - matter, right?

But I want to know: the high fees we parents pay, can the school guarantee our children's personal safety?

- My child has already been left disabled.

This, this issue hasn't been discussed. It should be resolved through proper channels, but right now, this isn't the time to resolve it, right? This isn't the time for this. We can't have all the parents come here, - halfway through, saying there are other kids too?

Yes, say it, say it, - everyone speak, you all speak.

- But, but, you—you—you— Hurry, hurry. - It's parent-teacher meeting time.

- It's parent-teacher meeting time now, okay?

- Director Zhang, are you calling the police?

- I'm telling you— - Are you calling them? Hurry up, don't do that again in a moment.

- Do you really have to take it that far?

No, Director Zhang, - this can't be left unresolved.

- No, right now you're— The other child is attending class as usual, but my child can't attend class normally.

My child couldn't eat properly for six years, and my child's education has been disrupted.

Can you afford it? Can you cover the eight million in tuition — or not? This is a class meeting. Yes, yes, yes.

— Let's continue, let's continue. We've been talking to you for ages, — and the dean hasn't said a word.

No, I mean, do you have any grounds — to argue your case? Do you?

Because the aggressor—the aggressor also has the same rights, doesn't he?

You aren't cooperating with the aggressor, — so there's nowhere to go. The other side says you weren't there either, right?

— This is a dispute between you two. No, look, wasn't that umbrella broken? You were standing there in the cold wind.

No, I didn't knock out my son's teeth. He—he did.

— He knocked out my son's teeth. — Let's look at the situation here. You said it was me.

Do you have surveillance footage? — My school has cameras everywhere. Do you have footage?

Then there's still the point of supervision…

to avoid being fired. — And there are other people, too…

Just now, that student's father said if your umbrella hadn't been broken, he wouldn't have taken it and scraped it on the ground. Then — all the kids would just end up like this.

Right now, you really can't talk here. Hurry up. Okay, okay.

It's not that we're refusing to explain, but don't waste all the parents' time, okay?

— No. All the parents, I'm very sorry. I hope you can understand.

If this had happened to you, you'd be just as upset, or even more upset than I am, you know?

Because I need to get my son — justice. Fine, I'll explain what happened to you all in a moment.

Let's not discuss it now. — Hey, where did everyone go?

— How did this turn into a crime scene? A crime? Where did they go? That…

Where did that homeroom teacher go — anyway? Well, let's… let's…

After the incident happened— after the incident happened— the school never took the initiative to contact me. They didn't even ask how we were.

Is this a place for educating children? Huh? Hurry up.

No, my child's personal safety— Find—find the principal. They still want me — to leave on my own.

Find the principal. Go on, find the principal.

— Okay, fine, fine. Okay.

At first, the school spoke to me very nicely, but now they've changed their tune.

My child had a serious personal injury at a private school.

Two teeth were knocked out, and I haven't received appropriate compensation or even a reasonable explanation. The incident…
