What was the intellectual plan of the 7-year-old boy?
In China, a clever 7-year-old boy devised a ‘jugaad’ to avoid doing his homework.
She called the emergency number and falsely accused her father of harming her. This led authorities to visit his home in Lishui, Zhejiang province, to investigate the situation.
A viral video captured the boy’s dramatic encounter with police. The boy seemed convincingly upset and claimed that his father had hit him. An officer gently touched the boy’s back and asked him about the incident, and the boy nodded his head.
How did his lie come to light?
But upon closer examination, the truth came to light. The boy’s story was a clever plan to skip school because he hadn’t finished his homework.
Instead of reprimanding the boy for his inventive exit, the officer showed compassion that warmed hearts on social media. He offered a one-on-one tutoring session and said, “Let uncle finish marking the exam for you and then I’ll take you to school.”
How did the Internet react to the viral video?
The video quickly captured the attention of mainland Chinese social media, sparking a mix of amusement and contemplation among users.
Some marveled at the boy’s cleverness in requesting police intervention without foreseeing the consequences. Meanwhile, many praised the officer’s kind response while also emphasizing the need to educate children about the seriousness of making false police reports.
