A
10-year-old Chinese boy jumped 30 floors to his death after failing to
write a self-criticism letter demanded by his teacher, state media
reported.
The fifth-grade primary school student had been ordered to write a
1,000-character apology by his teacher for talking in class, China
National Radio (CNR) reported Thursday on its website, citing a
neighbour.
The educator allegedly told him to jump out of a building after he
failed to complete the task, the report quoted relatives and the
neighbour as saying.
"Teacher, I can't do it," was found written in one of his textbooks,
CNR said. "I flinched several times when I tried to jump from the
building." The child smashed into a parked car beneath the flat where
his family live, the West China City News reported.
