A Chinese primary school headmaster has been suspended after a report showing a class monitor forced pupils to eat stool and drink urine for not handing over money and snacks.
It was reported earlier this week by Anhui news that a 12-year-old student at Huaiyuan primary school in eastern China's Anhui province forced classmates to eat stool and drink urine under the name of 'checking homework'.
Other disturbing allegations of abuse include threatening pupils to hand in money and snacks and tearing out the latter's homework when the amount of snacks or money was not 'enough'.
It was reported that a teacher at the school had empowered the bully to check classmates' homework. The student then abused his power to extort money from pupils.
The incident came to light in May after tormented students reported the matter to the local education authority. An investigation was conducted after the details of the case were revealed.
According to the authority, the headmaster and the teacher have been suspended and the bully student has since been transferred to another school.
The report showing that a 12-year-old student forced classmates to eat stool and drink urine causes wide outrage among Chinese Internet users. [Photo: CCTV]
