A father in China faced heated online debate after posting a video of his crying daughter, who had been bullied at school, to the point of suffering a bleeding mouth.
Despite his daughter’s distress, the man declared he would not hold the bullies accountable.
The father, from a county in central China’s Shanxi province, shared the emotional video of his six-year-old daughter on his Douyin account, @huodarensheng.
In the video, she expressed her desire to “quit school” after being cornered by a group of classmates. A hospital examination confirmed that she had lost a front tooth.
Reacting with unusual calmness, the father deleted the initial video shortly before posting a follow-up on October 16.
In this new video, he stated that the school and “relevant departments” had promptly addressed the situation, noting that the seven bullies and their parents had apologised to his daughter.
