A video making round on Chinese social
media yesterday shows a 15-year-old girl
being attacked by a gang made up of young
girls in Lingao, Hainan Province, China.
She was brutally beaten, kicked and stripped
off her clothes. According to media reports,
the incident has caught the attention of local
police, and they’re conducting an
investigation along with the crime and cyber
police departments of Dongying town, Lingao
county.
Responding to the influx of juvenile violence,
Yang Xine, procurator-general of the juvenile
court of Haidian District, Beijing, said the
behavior is partly to be blamed on games,
books and television shows that provoke such
violent acts.
Over the past few years, China has seen a
surge in school violence. According to a
survey by China Youth Research Center in
2015, out of the 5,864 respondents in 10
provinces, 32.5% said that they had been
bullied while 6.1% said that they were often
bullied by their seniors.
