湖南弒母男孩被釋放 學生家長反對其返校
Police released a 12-year-old boy from custody last Wednesday, nine days after he had killed his mother, reported The Paper.
據《澎湃新聞》報道，警方於上週三釋放了一名12歲的男孩。九天前，他殺死了自己的親生母親。On Dec. 3 in Yuanjiang, a city in central China's Hunan province, the boy, surnamed Wu, fatally stabbed his 34-year-old mother, according to police.
據警方透露，這名來自中國中部湖南省某市的吳姓男孩，於12月3日持刀刺死了他34歲的母親。Wu later told police that he had decided to take revenge after she had beaten him one time too many. But according to China's juvenile delinquency law, children under 14 who commit crimes are exempt from punishment and can only be "subjected to reprimand." As such, police set the boy free.
隨後，吳某告訴警方，此舉是爲了報復，因爲他母親經常他。但根據中國青少年刑法，14歲以下的孩子犯罪不承擔刑事責任，只能“受到譴責”。因此，警方釋放了這個男孩。
Wu's release was met with fierce opposition from his classmates' parents, who told their school and local media that they feared Wu's return would endanger their children.
吳某得到釋放引起了他同學的父母的強烈反對，他們告訴學校和當地媒體，他們擔心吳某返校會危及自己孩子的安全。
As a result, the boy is now being handled as a special case: He has been removed from his home and is staying at a hostel, where he is monitored by his father and grandmother, police, and education authorities, according to , a local media outlet.
據當地媒體《紅網》報道，該男孩現在被當成了一個特例處理：他已離家，住宿在一家旅館裏，在那裏他父親、奶奶、警方和教育當局會看管他。Rednet also reported that psychological counseling and classes on the law and other academic subjects are available to Wu. Two teachers from the school the boy attended have been appointed to tutor him at the hostel.
《紅網》還報道稱，吳某可以得到心理諮詢和法律等學科的幫助。學校兩位老師已被派到旅館對他進行輔導。The seeming lack of consequences for Wu has catapulted his case from small-town crime story to the subject of national attention.
吳某看似沒有得到任何懲罰，這讓他的案件從一個小鎮的犯罪故事一躍成爲全國關注的焦點。Publications like Legal Daily and the official Xinhua News Agency focused on Wu's lack of remorse -- he reportedly defended his actions by saying, "But I didn't kill other people, I only killed my mother."
《法制晚報》和官媒新華通訊社關注了吳某缺乏悔恨之意。據報道，該男孩還這樣爲自己的行爲辯護：“我又沒殺別人，我殺的是我媽。”
