AN aggrieved mother's online post has sparked public furor against a high school in Jiangsu Province where her 15-year-old son was beaten to death by three classmates as the school's principal and teachers looked on.
The mother, surnamed Yang, is still guarding the body of her son Wang Zhenyu in a hall in Qipan Junior High School in Xinqi City, and refused police to perform autopsy. Yang said she feared the police and school would destroy evidence because the father of one student suspect was a high-ranking official in Beijing.
Yang said she hadn't received any response from the school and the local government since her son died last Wednesday. Police told her the three suspects had been detained but gave no more details, which Yang found unreasonable, Huaxi Metropolis Daily reported today.
Feeling desperate, she posted her son's death along with photos on several online forums on Sunday.
Her son infuriated the three suspects after he shouted at them to stop beating a teacher during class on November 14. The three, all surnamed Shen, assaulted Wang after school at the main gate at about 8pm last Wednesday, said the school in a statement on its website.
The statement didn't mention that the school's principal, surnamed Sun, and three other teachers were standing meters away while the beating occurred, Yang said, citing several students who declined to be named.
Wang lied in a pool of blood for some 20 minutes, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, before a teacher called for ambulance.
Yang couldn't hold her tears when a doctor said her son could have been saved if he were sent in ten minutes earlier.
