The principal's behavior of beating students shows signs of crime and sets a bad example.

(Baonghean.vn) - Regarding the incident of parents entering the school to beat students, parents and the principal at Dinh Son Primary School (Anh Son, Nghe An), many opinions said that it was a hooligan act, a bad example for children.

On October 19, Mr. Nguyen Huu Hien (residing in Dinh Son commune, Anh Son) entered Dinh Son primary school (Anh Son) to beat Quan, Ms. Xuan (Quan's mother) and Mr. Tran Van Phu - Principal of Dinh Son primary school, who had to be hospitalized. The reason was that during recess, Dat (Mr. Hien's son) and 2 classmates were teasing each other, causing scratches on his cheeks... Currently, Anh Son district police are verifying, clarifying and completing the case file.

» In the case of parents beating students, the principal said: 'They punched and kicked my child and he fell in the corner of the door'

Regarding the above incident, Nghe An Newspaper reporters recorded the opinions of representatives of parents, teachers, the education sector and lawyers.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Hien's act of breaking into the school and beating the students and the principal was intentional. Mr. Hien's excuse that he was drunk and could not control himself is a fallacy, further demonstrating his hooliganism.

That action has significantly affected the teaching and learning psychology of Dinh Son Primary School and the entire education sector, affecting the construction of a safe and healthy educational environment. School is not only a place to teach students knowledge, but also to teach them how to be civilized, polite, and treat others humanely. The act of a parent storming into the school to beat the principal and students has affected the formation of personality, leaving a bad image in the eyes of students.

Through the above incident, schools need to draw lessons in resolving problems arising from minor conflicts between students. Schools need to coordinate better with local authorities and functional agencies to do a good job of ensuring school security, detecting, preventing and promptly handling bad elements from outside entering the school to cause trouble. Strengthen the role and responsibility of the Parents' Association Representative Board in coordinating with schools and local authorities in handling related issues occurring in schools.

Immediately after the incident, the Department of Education and Training directed the Department of Education and Training of Anh Son district to directly go to Dinh Son Primary School to stabilize the teaching and learning situation and return it to normal, not to let the situation become more complicated. At the same time, organize visits and encourage the teachers and students who were beaten by outsiders. The Department of Education and Training requested that the authorities promptly verify, clarify, and strictly handle with a deterrent effect those who have violated the health and lives of teachers and students.

Based on the information in the press, it can be concluded that Mr. Nguyen Huu Hien's behavior shows signs of intentional injury. Criminal or administrative handling depends on the results of the police investigation.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Hien's act of breaking into the school and beating the students and the principal is considered to be a public disorder. The determination of public disorder is based on documents, evidence, statements of the victim, and the scene collected by the competent authority. If the victim does not file a complaint, the competent authority still has the authority to handle Mr. Hien for public disorder. Because the consequence of that incident was that it caused insecurity in the school, causing a student and the principal to be hospitalized.

The act of breaking into a school, beating the principal and students, and holding scissors to threaten to kill them is a hooligan act. This act has signs of constituting the crime of intentional infliction of injury. To have grounds to prosecute for intentional infliction of injury, the police must rely on the complaint of the victim's family and the victim's disability rate after assessment. If the disability rate is below 11%, it is necessary to consider the circumstances of using a weapon and the hooligan nature of the subject.

Like other parents with school-age children, I always want my children to live and study in a safe and healthy educational environment. The recent incident at Dinh Son Primary School made me worried and uneasy. Mr. Hien's actions are completely unacceptable.

In the case of conflicts and quarrels between children, parents should gently advise and advise, then coordinate with teachers at school to analyze for the children to understand what is right and what is wrong. But here, Mr. Hien behaved violently towards both the parents and his children's friends, even causing injuries to the principal. This has instilled violent thoughts into the children's minds, forming arrogance, disregard for all order, causing many bad consequences for the children's personalities later on.

School is where children learn and develop comprehensively from knowledge to morality. When children see such bad images, what will they think about their parents? I hope that all levels and sectors will immediately rectify this situation. As parents, we should not behave like Mr. Hien did, that is not defending or loving the children, but only to satisfy our own anger.

Obviously, Mr. Nguyen Huu Hien's behavior violated both ethics and law. In terms of ethics, the ancients have a saying "a spoiled child is the mother's fault", broadly understood as the mother here means the parent. Parents must set an example for their children and in this case, they are a bad example and Mr. Hien's actions and behavior are shameful and excessive. As for the legal issue, Mr. Hien's behavior is not violence but hooliganism, cruelty towards children, and insulting the health of teachers. I support the authorities to clarify and thoroughly investigate this matter, and prosecute it before the law to deter others, not to set a precedent.

Around this issue, I want to talk about the issue of school violence, it has become so violent, beyond the scope between you and you, but also with the support of parents. School violence has a serious impact on the psychology of young children.

To educate a child, there must be coordination between family, school and society. Parents should not leave the responsibility of educating their children to teachers, and should not blame the school entirely when something happens to their children. All adults must join in, control and deter bad behavior while the child is still in the "gestation" stage, and then shape and instill in the child good things, proper and proper behavior. Only then can we hope to end the school violence that is happening at such a widespread level today.
