A FEMALE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN Jinan, East China's Shandong province, was beaten so severely by a male schoolmate that she lost consciousness. However, the school threatened her with disciplinary punishment if she revealed what had happened. Beijing News comments:

The violent attack on the girl puts to shame the school, which should have performed its responsibility to deal with the incident in a timely, fair and transparent manner. The wrongdoer should be punished accordingly or police should have been called to deal with the case.

Instead, the school chose to take the most inappropriate action, by threatening the victim if she did not choose to shut up. In doing so, the school has actually become an accomplice of the wrongdoer, while turning a blind eye to the victim's mental and physical suffering.
