Chapter 54 Violators shall bear their own responsibility
On a rainy night in the summer of this year, it was already more than nine o'clock, Wu Wei was at home, he heard a loud knock on the door, and thought that something must have happened.
Sure enough, Sister Liu opened her mouth and said, no, something big is going to happen now, a classmate who can't swim followed another classmate to swim in the afternoon and was drowned, and after reporting to the head teacher, she spent 1,000 yuan to hire someone to hit ten nets and didn't catch it.
Wu Wei hurriedly asked, have you notified the parents?
Sister Liu said that she had been notified, and her home was in J Province, and she would not arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.
Wu Wei said that he would go to school immediately and tell Principal Park again. Wu Wei and his entourage arrived at the school, Principal Park also came, asked about the situation, and had a basic judgment on the incident, which belonged to the students' private wild bathing, and the school had already posted a notice that it was strictly forbidden to take wild baths before the summer came, but after the parents came, they had to properly deal with the aftermath, and the thing that needed to be done immediately was to salvage the body. Wu Wei asked Principal Park to go back to rest, and he, Li Hua, and Chen Li from the Security Department rested in the school apartment.
The next morning after the rain, the sky was sunny and just bright, several people rushed to the river by car, first inspected the accident site, it was in the downstream of the swimming area, the student who was killed in the safe swimming area after going into the water down the river to play in the water, because he did not know the water situation, after crossing the swimming area with a warning line, he continued to play in the downstream of the river, unfortunately fell into the deep pit formed by digging sand by the river in winter, and was in distress. Wu Wei and his entourage first walked along the river to the downstream of the river for a few kilometers, and then returned to the swimming area, asking the staff there if there were any boatmen who salvaged the body. They hurried to the river again and saw a fishing boat in the distance, and the boatman heard their shouts and drove the boat over.
Seeing the old boatman, Wu Wei told the matter, and the old boatman said that it could be salvaged.
Wu Wei asked the old boatman, how much money did he get up?
The old boatman paid a fixed price, five thousand.
Wu Wei asked again, guarantee that you can catch it?
The old boatman said, wrap it up on us.
Wu Wei simply said when he heard it, okay.
The boatmen drove the boat to the accident site, Wu Wei and others watched how the boatmen operated the nets on the shore, looking at the fishing nets that were gradually closed, Wu Wei's mood was also very nervous and anxious, the parents of the students who died would arrive in the afternoon, imagining what kind of situation the parents would be like if they could not see the child's body, and everything would fall into a passive situation of being exhausted. I heard from experienced people that the body of a drowning person could only surface during a thunderstorm, and even if it surfaced, it was unknown where it would float.
Wu Wei was anxious, he didn't expect to catch it in a net, he looked at the corpses of the killed students that were gradually approaching, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
When Wu Wei waited for Li Hua and Chen Li to notify the vehicle to pick up the body, he sat on the shore and looked at the corpse of the dead classmate, and fell into deep self-blame, after all, it was because he did not take good care of the students that such a disaster occurred. Li Hua and Chen Li saw his sad demeanor, so they persuaded him that the school had no responsibility, and also carried out warning education, and posted a notice that wild bathing was strictly prohibited.
Wu Wei looked at the corpse and looked at the swimming area with cordons and buoys, and even the patrolling boats, thinking sadly, in the dangerous area activities, people always set up warning tips, but it is still difficult to avoid such and such disasters, in this area every year to the middle of summer, there are a number of drowning incidents, and think that he often takes young children to swim in the river, he warned that children who are still a few years old or even more than ten years old can not cross the navel after entering the water, The navel is a cordon for young children to play in the water, and they have to stare and shout from time to time.
Li Hua told him some details of this unfortunate student, and he saw that a classmate who grew up by the sea wanted to go swimming by the river, so he insisted on following him, and when he met his classmate along the way, he happily greeted him and said that he was going to swim, as if he was going to do something very happy.
When Wu Wei heard this detail, he remembered an incident that happened when he was in elementary school in the countryside, that is, it was just winter, and the water surface not far from the village had frozen but it was not very strong. Thinking that the vehicle had arrived, Wu Wei and the others followed the car back to the school to prepare for picking up the parents of the students who were in difficulty.
Sister Liu told Wu Wei that some people in the school talked about giving too much money to salvage the bodies of the dead students, and they did not bargain.
Wu Wei said, we have to pay according to the number of salvage times with the shipwrights, and when people collect the net, they feel that they are hanging up the corpse and are likely to deliberately shake it down, and they are not just to make money, we have to wait anxiously not to mention spending money in vain, besides, how can we have time to wait patiently to deal with such things.
Sister Liu said, you have handled this matter well, and some people who understand it also approve of you doing this.
Wu Wei found Li Hua again, and when the parents of the students arrived, we concentrated on pacifying them. Near the evening, the parents and uncles of the deceased students arrived, a cry of bitterness, Wu Wei and others immediately sent into the resting room, in the face of the sad and painful parents, Wu Wei and others could only comfort bitterly, and from time to time handed them a change of towels to wipe their faces, and the prepared meals were difficult to swallow, and only after a little calmness did they tell the parents in detail about the incident.
Early the next morning, the uncle of the deceased student negotiated with Wu Wei about the aftermath, and Wu Wei specially called Mr. Hong, who was teaching law at the school, and told him to let him listen to it, help check the gates, and don't make any mistakes in the law. According to the school's regulations, there is no dispute that the tuition fees and other items that should be refunded should be refunded, but the uncle of the deceased student proposed that the school is the guardian of the student, and he must bear the guardianship responsibility if such a thing happens.
Wu Wei immediately explained that the students are over 18 years old, have the ability to bear civil liability independently, and are responsible for their own actions, the school has already posted a notice that all violators of wild bathing are strictly prohibited, and the school has repeatedly said that it is strictly forbidden to take wild baths and pay attention to safety, and the school has never organized students to engage in any activities by the river from the perspective of safety, and the occurrence of this tragedy is completely a self-responsible incident, and the school does not assume any responsibility, but the incident happened in the school, Schools should help parents deal with the aftermath. After we learned, the classmate who went swimming with him did not let him go, but he insisted on going, and after going into the water, the classmate who could swim repeatedly told him to move in the area with a safety cordon, and then people went to cross, and he forgot about the danger when he played on his side, and the accident happened. Wu Wei introduced Mr. Hong to the other party and asked him to talk about it from a legal point of view.
Professor Hong said that when such a thing happens, we as teachers also feel very sad and sad, but feelings cannot replace the law, from the whole process of this matter, just as our principal just said, it is completely a self-responsible incident, the school has no responsibility, and according to what we know, our school is very proactive in dealing with such problems, and I hope that parents can understand and actively cooperate with the school's work.
As soon as the matter was said, this parent was also a reasonable person, and he didn't say anything, so he agreed to discuss with his brother and sister-in-law, saying that the school had no responsibility, and after coming, he also felt the care and sincerity of the school, and he couldn't say anything in theory.
After the parents left, Mr. Hong asked Wu Wei curiously, how do you know that Lu Daoren will independently bear civil liability when he is 18 years old?
Wu Wei said: I heard it a few years ago when we were conducting legal popularization education.
Teacher Hong said with a smile, you can not only remember but also use it at critical times, which is not simple, if you can't find a basis at that time, it is easy to get into trouble. Parents encounter this kind of thing will generally think about whether the school is responsible, the idea of finding the fault of the school, messing around, once caught will not be forgiving, how much want to get some compensation, can not be satisfied with resentment, it is easy to mess things up and difficult to clean up, you found the legal basis, the school posted a notice in advance, this notice has nothing to do with it is too big, this is equivalent to the exemption notice, you don't see these years when the leadership always takes the trouble to remind everyone of fire prevention and theft, that is, the exemption speech, really something is going to happen, Leaders have no responsibility or responsibility is easy to dissolve.
Wu Wei said, do you mean that some things are done purely for the sake of exemption?
Mr. Hong affirmed that how many lawsuits and cases we have studied, we will recognize this in law, and we must have it in black and white, and it must be based on real evidence. Especially when I heard that after they came, you did a reasonable and considerate job for them, and at least they won't hold grudges against you, which is very good, and the work has been done in advance, I don't think they can say anything, it will easily pass, and it is also a blessing for all of us to have someone like you as a leader.
After all, the parents were really suspicious of the school's statement, and went to the student dormitory building to see the posted notice, and saw that it was already full of floating ash and touched it with their hands, so as to dispel their suspicions, and then went through the refund procedures. It was half past eleven. At this time, Wu Wei solicited the opinions of parents on whether to carry out the cremation of the corpse, and after obtaining consent, Wu Wei immediately notified Li Hua to organize a vehicle, find a relationship to contact the crematorium, and specifically asked to organize classmates to take care of the mother of the deceased classmate.
A cataclysmic event subsided in this way.
