Teacher In China Arrested After Pulling 9-Year-Old Boy's Hair So Hard He Was Left Partially Scalped

Teacher In China Arrested After Pulling 9-Year-Old Boy's Hair So Hard He Was Left Partially Scalped
Handout

In March, a teacher at Xinhua Road Elementary School in China, surname Chang, was placed on leave after partially scalping one of his students.

Chang witnessed several of his students, including a child with the surname Yuan, talking during his class. He briefly scolded the students for interrupting.


When the students continued talking, Chang pulled the three students to the front of the classroom by their hair.

Yuan pulled away and backed away from Chang, who perceived the action as insubordination, so Chang grabbed the student by the hair again and led him the rest of the way to the front of the room.

After Yuan had been at home for a few hours, he approached his mother, also with the surname of Yuan, and complained of nausea and dizziness before telling her what had happened at school.

The mother took her son to the hospital, where it was discovered Yuan's scalp had been separated from his skull during the classroom incident, which caused subcutaneous bleeding.

Blood had collected in the space in-between creating pressure on his brain.

Yuan ended up being in the hospital for three weeks to drain the blood, correct the problem with his scalp and return him to good health.

Feeling terrible about the incident, Chang paid for all of the medical bills.

The child's mother stated:

"The medical bills were paid by the teacher. He said he felt regret and guilt."
"He hoped we could forgive him. But I can't forgive him."

She could not forgive the teacher because of her son's mental and emotional state.

"It has left him a shadow in his mind. He is afraid of the teacher and fears going to school."
"I am thinking of transferring him to another school."
"He hasn't gone to school since March. This semester has been wasted for my son."

Chang was initially placed on leave while the matter was further investigated by the school.

On May 7 it was announced he had been arrested.

Mother Yuan was critical of the school for not being more proactive from the beginning. She felt it took contacting the police and news stations, as well as threatening to sue the school, before action was taken.

The Vice-Headmaster of the school, Zhang, stated:

"Only the upper-level authorities have the final say of whether the school has a responsibility or not."

Yuan stated:

"The school said it was the teacher's individual behavior and it had no responsibility here. The school suspended him from teaching only about 20 days later."

People were aghast at the news.





It's unclear what will be done at the school after this or what will be done with the results of the police investigation.

Since the mother is considering transferring her son to another school, hopefully he will have a much more positive experience and make a full recovery.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
