Police probe after student beaten, stripped naked
POLICE in central China’s Hunan Province have launched a probe into reports that 15 girl students severely beat up a classmate and took nude pictures of her.
Sanxiang City Express reported that the 16-year-old victim, nicknamed Xiaomeng, joined the Hunan Industry Trade School, a technical secondary school in the provincial capital Changsha, in September.
On November 6, the girl had an argument with the deputy class monitor, nicknamed Xiaoao, over cleaning the classroom. Xiaomeng told the paper that in the evening, Xiaoao asked 14 other girls to beat her up in the dorm.
“Some of them threatened me with scissors. All of them slapped me and then hit my head against the wall. They beat me up and kicked me. I was tortured until 1am the next day,” she said, adding that five of her six roommates turned a blind eye to the brutality while one of them joined the beating.
Xiaomeng did not say anything to her parents or to the school administrators the next day but it was not good enough to lessen Xiaoao’s anger, the paper reported.
Around noon on November 7, the 15 girls broke into her dorm and beat her up again. They then stripped her naked and took nude pictures of her in the hope she would not complain to either her parents or her teachers, Xiaomeng said.
Bruised and in severe pain, Xiaomeng called her dorm teacher and her parents but the teacher did not take the matter seriously after a CT scan report suggested she was fine, the paper said.
Fearing that she would be beaten up again, Xiaomeng did not go back to the school or to her dorm but stayed in a hotel. Her parents rushed from Shaoyang in Hunan to Changsha on November 10. She was then diagnosed with ruptured eardrums and renal contusion.
The newspaper reported finding bruises on Xiaomeng’s face, back and legs. She also hobbled in pain. The school said police were investigating. The girls admitted beating her up and taking pictures, which have since been deleted.
Xiaomeng is not keen on going back to the school and her parents are looking to move her in another school, the paper said.
