I cannot imagine that such a thing can happen in my neighboring country.
In Malaysia, this school boy who stayed in school hostel was beaten by the assistant warden for making noise.
For reason unknown, he was not sent to hospital right after the severe beating. He was sent to hospital a couple of weeks after the event.
He was warded in hospital, had both his legs amputated, got an infection, and then died.
This is very sad. It is such a horrible way to die.
I feel sorry for his parents. Nobody sends their children to school to get a severe beating, and then sees the children die so painfully.

Yes, the parents trust the school too much.
They probably think that a bit of spanking is good for discipline, and they did not bring the son to see a doctor.
The parents will spend their lives regretting the decision not to take their son seriously when he complaint about it.

@marguicha Definitely.
I think for most parents who see the abuse their children is getting in school, they will not hesitate to go to school and beat up the warden.

@scheng1 A beating such as that one surely would not be something that a child would be able to hide. The parents were very much responsible, as much as the beast who beat the child.

I also cannot imagine why the parents do not take action.
If I were the mother, I would kill the guy!
Apparently this school boy kept a diary, and he wrote about getting beaten all the time.
He asked for transfer, but his parents did not take any action.

How sad.... Yes, in some countries, teachers/people in power, can be really mean.
