Nip domestic violence in the bud
ON SATURDAY, A VIDEO CLIP SHOWING A GIRL wearing a school uniform being brutally beaten by a couple went viral online. Later, the local police in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong province, said the incident took place in the city and it was being investigated. Thepaper.cn comments:
In the video, the couple attacked the girl in a rather brutal way, namely by slapping her on the face, pulling her hair, kicking her and beating her with a broomstick. The local police confirmed that the couple in the video are the girl's parents and said the girl, who is 8 years old, has no obvious scars on her body.
The local women's federation has already applied to the local court for a protection order and the girl is, at least for the moment, secure. According to the law, her parents might receive a warning and or even a punishment if they are charged and found guilty by a court.
