Chongqing Student Beaten to Death at Nightmare Training School

Chongqing Student Beaten to Death at Nightmare Training School
Apr 14, 2015 By eChinacities.com

15 year old Zou Jiahang was found dead in his dormitory after being beaten for several hours by  instructors at his horrific training school after he had tried to escape. Zou had been suspended from school, and his parents decided to send him to a special training school for kids with disciplinary issues instead of just letting him sit around at home. The school, located in Yuzhong, Chongqing, takes in “problem,” students to correct their bad habits. Zou had only been in the school for 15 hours when he died at the hands of the instructors.

In the training center's advertisement they claim that they have, “never beaten a student,” and adhere to “counseling based,” treatment, “supplemented by military training.” On the afternoon March 22, shortly after checking in, Zou attempted to escape the training school. He was caught and beaten for several hours by instructors. At 11 am the next day, students found Zou in the dormitory with cold hands and feet. He was rushed the hospital and pronounced dead.

It took several days and a police investigation for Zou's parents to actually find out what had happened to him. No students would rat on the instructors because they were too afraid of getting beaten. Two days after Zou died, his parents went to the school in person, but no student dared to tell them the truth. On March 27, the police shut down the school and the students all went home. Away from the violent instructors, the students finally told Zou's parents the whole story. Seven instructors from the school are currently under investigation.

Well they paid the price. Sad for the parents to learn the hard way, and that it's already too late. Unless they didn't care, which maybe be the case.

Why didn't they just sodomize him like they do in the armed forces?

Obviously the system needs to create a special place for "problem children", and accept there will be kids like this in their society.....

As the old saying goes "If you can't beat them...whats the point of teaching!"

Ridiculous parents... looking for the easy way out. They should know their own society well enough to know that China is ruled mainly through fear mongering... Migrant works demand pay? - Hire thugs to beat them up and scare them off. Street vendors blocking traffic? - Hire Chengguan and beat them up. Business partner trying to rip you off? - Hire the hei shi hui and kill them. Someone starting an argument with you? - Call ALL your friends and family to intimidate them and make them back down. Bullying is the name of the game in China. Parents should know better.

This is the parent's fault in special, because they was unable to educate their child by themselves ! To send the child in this kind of school, first of all it will affecting him mental for the rest of his life ! He will be unable to think he is a normal person and he will be low self confident ! Chinese culture is all a bullshit ! Many things should be changed and the peoples should be educated with heart and soul , introducing a religion in the school, etc. In tis way they can understand other peoples, love each other , and forget to be only selfish as all Chinese are ! Pity for the boy...
