A student died after falling from a school building at the Three Star Elementary School of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. However, school authorities refused to provide any consultation to his grieving parents.

The child’s family and relatives were holding a funeral wreath when they tried to enter the school to find out what exactly had happened. But numerous school guards and police in black uniforms quickly intercepted them.

Family member 1: “The kid has died but they won’t let us in. Everything was fine with him in the morning when he came to school. Now, he is gone, but we cannot enter the school (to investigate). Several family members are here. Why forbid us to enter after such a big accident!”

Family member 2: “You are police officers, and you are also public servants for the people. Do you really choose to turn a deaf ear to the incident? ”

Family member 3: “How many hours have passed? No one came to talk or explain to us. How many hours? We are his family and we are forbidden to enter the school. Everyone, come take a look at our situation.”

The child’s mother cried tragically next to the child’s body. “I want my child back! He was doing fine earlier today, but all of a sudden his life ended! And no one has explained to us what had happened. My pitiful child!”
