A bullying incident was reported at a junior high school in Shanxian, Taichung City. The video showed a female student slapping a male student, and the male student knelt down to beg for forgiveness. The school stated that after receiving relevant images and information about the physical conflict outside the school at noon on November 6, the Academic Affairs Office immediately conducted an investigation, confirmed that the incident involved students and related circumstances, and completed a campus safety incident report in accordance with regulations, and simultaneously initiated relevant response and counseling measures.

The school said that after preliminary understanding, the cause of the case involved an online verbal dispute between students, which in turn led to physical conflicts outside the school. The injured student had gone to a medical institution for medical examination and reported the case to the police. The school has grasped the relevant situation and continues to care for the students' physical and mental conditions, and provides necessary support and assistance with tutors, counseling rooms and related resources.

The school has initiated a handling mechanism for this case in accordance with the "Campus Bullying Prevention Guidelines" and relevant regulations. Subsequent reviews and necessary investigations will be conducted in accordance with legal procedures, and the incident will be clarified in accordance with the principles of objectivity, impartiality and confidentiality to protect the rights and interests of relevant students. The school respects the legal actions taken by parents in accordance with the law and actively cooperates with relevant authorities.

In addition, the school will continue to strengthen students' concepts of legal education, Internet use ethics, emotional management and interpersonal conflict handling, and provide appropriate counseling and care to students involved in the incident to help students develop the ability to respect others, communicate rationally and properly handle conflicts, so as to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The school emphasizes that it will maintain a strict attitude towards any form of violence or injury, handle it prudently and in accordance with the law, and never ignore it. At the same time, it will continue to implement campus safety maintenance, parent-teacher cooperation and student counseling to create a safe, friendly and mutually respectful learning environment.

Considering that this case involves underage students, we kindly ask the media and the public to respect the privacy of the parties concerned and not to publish or forward images, videos and related personal information that can identify the students to avoid causing secondary harm. We also thank all sectors of society for their concern for the safety and education of the school's students. The school will continue to uphold the principles of administration according to law, fair handling and protection of students, and properly handle follow-up matters.
