THE PARENTS MORE than 100 worried parents arrived at Fung Yiu King Memorial Secondary School last night to seek help on how to deal with their children's confused emotions.
With the Lunar New Year holidays due next week, students would be spending more time at home, so parents needed to learn to cope with their feelings, Education Department psychologist Ruth Lau Wing-man told a highly-charged meeting.
Parents and Teachers Association chairman Cheung Lau Oi-lin said the tragedy was accepted as an accident.
'No teachers should be blamed,' said Mrs Cheung.
Chan Liu Yuk-ho said she and her son, a Form Two student, were saddened by the deaths of the teachers, who sacrificed themselves to shepherd the children to safety.
But she would allow her son to join similar trips because they were valuable in his development.
One mother sobbed throughout the meeting, calling for more details and asked who should be held responsible, before receiving support from counsellors.
