Arrests of three boys who allegedly killed schoolmate cast light on left-behind children in China

The recent arrests of three boys who allegedly killed a middle-school student have once again turned public attention on juvenile delinquents, sparking debates and discussions on the plight of “left-behind” children, whose parents have left their home regions to work elsewhere.

The victim was a seventh-grade student in Feixiang district of Handan, Hebei province. He was killed on March 10, and all suspects were taken into custody the next day. The local authorities are making all-out efforts to comfort the bereaved family and handle the aftermath of the killing. Details of why and how the killing happened were not disclosed. It also does not mention the exact ages of the boys involved.

According to some Chinese media reports, the victim, aged 13, studied in a local middle school and went missing on March 10. His body was found the next day, buried in a vegetable greenhouse, about 100m from the house of one of the three suspects.
