My daughter was locked in a bathroom, slapped, and splashed with boiling water, while school officials helped the bullies cover up the truth.
All because their family was the richest in N City.
Unable to stomach it, I called the police, but they urged me to let it go. The bully's parents were even more arrogant, sneering at me:
"If you've got what it takes, sue us. We've got people in the courts anyway!"
With nowhere else to turn, I gritted my teeth, took out the First-Class Merit Medal my husband had left behind when he died in service, and knelt at the entrance to the military office building.
Five years ago, when the commander handed me that medal, he told me,
"Your husband gave his life for his country. No matter what difficulties you and your daughter face, the country will never abandon you."
But now I want to ask him:
My daughter was beaten so badly she was hospitalized with serious injuries. Why is no one standing up for us?
