My son’s hair is relatively short, the teacher pulled his hair when he subconsciously backed up. The teacher thought he was resisting and pulled harder once more. That night when I got home, my child had dizziness and nausea, feeling uncomfortable, and he told me what happened at school. “

On March 6, Ms. Yuan found that the child’s scalp swollen as big as an egg, soft to the touch, like a tomato, she called the child’s class teacher to consult the matter. “The class teacher to understand the situation to me back to the phone, said that there is indeed the matter, the child because of speech by the teacher pulled hair, to the podium to punish the station, perhaps the teacher strength is relatively large. “

Ms. Yuan said, the morning of March 7, she found that half of the child’s head are swollen, she took it to the hospital to take a CT, found to be subcutaneous hematoma. The day after returning home, the child had a low fever, semi-comatose, and could not sleep. March 8 was directly hospitalized, also the same day, I reported the case to the police. Later, the teacher involved and the school also admitted the teacher’s behavior, the child was admitted to the hospital, medical expenses are also paid by the teacher personally, he also regrets very remorseful and blames himself, hoping that parents forgive, but I can not forgive him. “

Ms. Yuan also did not expect that the teacher pulled the child’s hair would lead to such serious consequences. “The doctor diagnosed a subcapsular tendon hematoma, the scalp and skull separated, filled with blood inside, during hospitalization, in order to draw blood, did seven punctures, the total blood volume reached more than 1000 ml, in between also because On March 29, the child no longer had to have a puncture, but had to take medication, so in order to let the child rest better, I applied to the doctor to be discharged home to recuperate. “

Ms. Yuan said the incident has now been nearly two months, the child’s scalp will still hurt, haircut, the razor against the direction of the hair to push it hurts a lot, touching the head against the direction of the hair will also hurt, and sometimes headaches, has not fully recovered. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. He will now be afraid of the teacher involved, fear of school, I will now also psychological guidance to him, after also respect his ideas, may consider giving him a change of school, a different environment. And now that his child is recuperating, I’m also worried if he will have after-effects. Originally the child school is quite good, are the top three in the class, but because of this matter, this semester is basically ruined, in order not to delay the follow-up study, after may have to repeat the third grade. “

After this incident, Court students also dare not go to school, afraid of the teacher involved, Ms. Court also consider the idea of helping his child to transfer to another school. “The child was cheerful, especially understanding, during the hospitalization, he obviously can not open his eyes, see the teacher principal came to visit, but also trembling up to the teacher, principal greetings, see him that Seeing him that way, their principal also could not help but cry. “

May 4, Yuan students’ mother, Ms. Yuan told reporters that the child is currently recuperating at home, the scalp still hurts, need to regularly review the hospital, she is worried about the sequelae. “The school at first did not expect it to be so serious, the teacher involved has been normal classes, more than 20 days after the incident before being suspended, the school has also said that this is the teacher’s personal behavior. But the school has the responsibility to manage teachers, this happened in the school, I hope the school to bear the responsibility, and learn from the example, strengthen the management of the teacher team. The teacher also regretted and blamed himself afterwards, and asked for my forgiveness, but I could not forgive, and he had to accept the punishment he deserved. “
