The abused student received a severe split on the back of his head that needed needles, according to a man who claimed to be the victim’s brother.
A picture of a student being taunted and kicked to the floor at the space board of a housing wall was posted on TikTok in September of last year.
Eventually, the main claimed that the incident had taken place in October of that year and that it had resulted in disciplinary actions.  ,
A tape of a , Qihua Primary School student , being assaulted by an older child emerged website about a week later.
Five youngsters were later detained for their alleged role in a violence incident.
According to Mr. Chan’s statement in parliament in October 2024, there are an average of two instances in primary classrooms and six instances in secondary schools each year for abuse, both inside and outside of the classroom.  ,  ,
Bullying situations have “remained consistent” on average over the past five decades.
