A school problem that needs treating seriously

A 12-YEAR-OLD STUDENT at Loving Righteousness School in Longhua New District of Shenzhen in South China's Guangdong province, was punched and kicked by more than a dozen older students and forced to kneel down and slap his own face. The perpetrators filmed their bullying and streamed the 1 minute 46 seconds video online. Sznews.cn commented on Tuesday:

Even though the chaos and cruelty of the campus bullying keeps making headlines, the saying and thinking of "it's a child's thing" is still quite prevalent. But that is quite a simple value judgment.

Behind many incidents of campus bullying there is often a triad member or so-called Big Brother.
