There is growing demand for severe punishment of juvenile offenders who commit serious crimes.

According to the local investigation authorities, the perpetrators were three classmates from the same class. It was revealed that they had been bullying Wang regularly. The body was so disfigured that it was difficult to recognize the form.

It was even confirmed that after Wang passed away, his mobile phone was used to withdraw money. Wang’s father expressed anger to the media, saying, "My child didn’t want to go to school. When I asked if anyone was ostracizing him, he said no," and added, "I never thought this would happen in less than a week after school started."

Wang’s parents are both working in the city, so Wang was reportedly raised by his grandparents. Wang was diligent enough to take on household chores like laundry but was said to have a shy personality. Wang’s father lamented, "I still haven’t told the child’s mother that he has died."

Public outrage in Chinese society is growing over the brutal crime committed by teenagers. Local netizens responded with comments such as, "Even if they are children, if they commit horrific crimes, they must be punished," "If this case is taken lightly, greater harm may follow," and "Murderers should be severely punished regardless of age."
