The Traditions Caused Troubles, the High-School Club Punished Its Members to Do Squatting Jumps, Four Students Were Admitted into the I.C.U. Because of It

These are the traditions, we can do away with, and it’s still considered physical abuse by way of corporal punishment, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

Las year, in the boy scout club of a public Miaoli High School, twelve under classmen were punished by their last year older school member to do squatting jumps, three, to four hundred times, the next day, six of the twelve were hospitalized due to rhabdomyolysis, four of the students were placed in the I.C.U., but were released from the hospital after they got better. The school stressed yesterday, that they’d put a ban on the clubs’ student-to-student trainings, and paid closer attention to the activities in the extracurricular programs, to prevent similar things from happening.

The scout’s club in this school, in order to make sure the members are all very disciplined, set up the rules of “squatting in the odd numbers”, that during the passing period, if there are any errors which were made, they would get points counted against them, and, for every point recorded down, the members were made to do an odd number of squats. Twelve first and second-year students, since the beginning of last semester in September, had accumulated sixty, to seventy points.

Last October, the six last year students were about to hand the baton off to twelve underclassmen, the new officers were made, to do squatting jumps, based off of the points they’d accumulated, the students who are punished physically, after going home, became too fatigued, and felt sore all over, they’d all believed, that resting for a day or two, then, they’d get better. But the next day, six of the twelve started having reduced urinary output, and the colors were, darker, they were all, taken to the hospital by their families, and, after the tests, they showed signs of rhabdomyolysis, and a hike in one of the enzymes in their bodies, of the group, four people showed decline in kidney and liver function, and they were sent into the I.C.U.

This incident had caused the waves, after the school investigated, they’d told, that it wasn’t bullying by the upper classmen, but because of the extracurricular program’s own rules, they’d not imagined, the outcomes to be so serious.

So, this, is still kinda like gang-related, isn’t it? If you want to enter into a group, there are, a series of tests you must pass through, in order to get accepted, and this time, it’s because the members failed to perform up to the standards set up, and they were punished for it, and, the results of their punishment were, life-threatening, and, the school should’ve been more watchful of what was going on, right underneath their nose, but instead, they’re dodging their responsibilities by saying, “We did NOT okay these activities, that these activities were done, without our knowledge”, are you FUCKING shitting me here? And, if it were your kid, wouldn’t you want someone to pay, for what happened to her/him? I would imagine so.
