- The school has acknowledged the carelessness of teachers in not sending the girl for medical care right away
A Chinese father who donated his nine-year-old daughter’s organs after she died from injuries caused by an accident at her school said the school has apologised to him and vowed to strengthen safety management.
Huang Qin’s daughter, nicknamed Tongtong, died three months ago after being knocked down by a classmate in the corridor of their primary school in Qinzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, southern China, the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald reported.
Earlier this week the father said on social media that the school, whose name was not mentioned, made an apology, compensated him and punished the teachers for their carelessness in delaying sending the girl for medical treatment.
Tongtong was knocked down by a classmate when the students were running “excitedly” out of the classroom to attend a PE class on the morning of October 20, 2021. Her head bumped into a wall and she fainted on the spot.
Huang said that the corridor’s surveillance camera showed a PE teacher having to half-carry, half-drag his daughter to the teachers’ office because she had lost consciousness, with her arms and head hanging down.
