Mother and son live in a self-service bank for half a year, and their 10-year-old son has never been to school (Figure)

  Recently, enthusiastic readers reported to this newspaper that they often saw a middle-aged woman in her 40 s sleeping with a little boy in a self-service bank in Xicheng District. "The child looks like a teenager, and he doesn’t go to school. He hangs around every day, which makes people worry about the child’s condition." After a field visit, the Beijing Morning Post reporter found that the woman had no fixed place to live with her children and had been wandering in Beijing for ten years. The 10-year-old son never went to school, and even began to fear without contact, comparing the school to a "prison".

  Journalist visit

  Sleep well in the enclosure of "possessions"

  When the Beijing Morning Post reporter visited the site for the first time, he did not find a woman. The bank security captain said that the woman went out early and returned late, and it was ineffective to persuade her to leave many times. "We also reported to the police, but the police station did not recruit." At 6 o’clock the next morning, the reporter saw a piece of land surrounded by several paper boxes, shoe boxes and cloth bags in the corner of the self-service bank. Although people entered the bank to deposit and withdraw money from time to time, the voice reminder to prevent being fooled was always playing in the hall, but a middle-aged woman and a little boy inside were unmoved and slept very well.

  Many people were startled when they pushed the door in, some stopped to look at it, and some young women quickly avoided it. A resident who got up early for a walk told reporters that the mother and son had lived here for half a year, but they didn’t know the specific situation.

  At 7 o’clock in the morning, more and more people went into the bank to withdraw money. The woman woke up and called the little boy around her. I walked into McDonald’s next to the bank with my bag, took a window seat with my schoolbag, and turned back and moved all my "belongings" to the stairwell next to it with the little boy. After returning to McDonald’s, the woman took out the newspaper and pen from her schoolbag and began to practice calligraphy. The little boy wandered around, taking the leftover French fries, hamburgers and coke from others back to his seat and putting them on the table. The two of them shared them together. The woman also took the plates put on the table by others to the recycling place several times and took away the food left on them and the paper that padded the plates.

  Woman telling

  Children learn all by themselves.

  After practicing writing for a while, the woman tore the paper on the dinner plate into equal parts, folded it carefully and sewed it into small books. The reporter came forward to talk to her. She took out a small notebook. "This is what my son wrote. I let him choose five Chinese characters to learn every day, and write each word 400 times, but it is still difficult for people who are 10 years old to write." She told reporters that she not only taught her children pinyin, Chinese characters and arithmetic, but also often took him to the book building to read books. She said, "children love reading, but I’m afraid he reads too many books. Like me, he can’t tell the world in books from the real world, and he thinks they are all confused and have no boundaries." During the whole conversation, women often talk upside down and talk about god.

  The woman said that her name is Chen Mei (a pseudonym), and she is from Huanggang, Hubei Province. Her son was born in 2006. "His father didn’t care about us, others said that Beijing was good, so I came to Beijing with my son." She said that due to lack of financial resources, she took her son to sleep in many parks and office buildings.

  Chen Mei said that because three meals a day are junk food, his son is not only physically puffy, but also develops faster than ordinary children. The reporter communicated with the child and found that he was extremely alert. The reporter asked him if he wanted to go to school, and he replied angrily, "Why did you send me to prison?"

  A McDonald’s waiter told reporters that the mother and son have been here for several months, and she pointed to her head and said, "It seems that there are some problems here."

  Family voice

  I hope my grandson will come back to school

  Afterwards, the reporter contacted Chen Meiyuan’s father in Huanggang, Hubei Province. He told reporters that Chen Mei suffered from mental illness. After the child was born, her father abandoned her mother and son, and Chen Mei took the child to Beijing. "In the past, the situation was better, and the condition became worse after giving birth. I took her back once in 2008. She was treated in the hospital for a month, but she was stubborn and didn’t take medicine. After running out of the hospital, she left with her children. "

  Father Chen told reporters that he has been worried about his little grandson. "In the past, I was afraid that the mother and son would suffer, and I gave her 300 yuan a month. Later, her bank card was degaussed and she couldn’t get money, and her mobile phone was lost." Just before the Spring Festival last year, Chen Mei’s eldest brother came to Beijing to pick up the mother and son, but Chen Mei left without saying goodbye. "The key is that the child is too poor. I just hope to get her and the child back, let the child go to school like a normal child, and let her go to the hospital to see a doctor."

  ■Response from all sides

  ● Rescue station: You need to contact your family for mental illness.

  The staff of the rescue station in Xicheng District, Beijing said that if the vagrants are unwilling, they will not be given compulsory assistance under normal circumstances. If they have mental illness, the police can go to the medical institution for identification after the alarm, and they can contact their families after confirmation.

  ● Minors’ Rescue Center: relatives who are difficult to monitor can be handed over to us.

  The staff of Beijing Minor Rescue and Protection Center gave the following advice: "If parents and other relatives of minors are found to be incapable of guardianship, we will be responsible for the life, medical insurance and education of minors."

  ● Lawyer: Transferable custody protects children’s rights.

  Wei Yanli, a lawyer from Beijing Zhicheng Law Firm, also said that the child’s grandfather or other relatives can bring a lawsuit to the court to prove that the child’s mother has inappropriate behavior or no ability to raise, and she is deprived of her guardianship qualification according to law. He Ling, an associate professor in the Department of Youth and Youth in China Youth University for Politics, also said that if the legal rights of minors such as the right to education are infringed, the civil affairs department can transfer the custody to the child’s grandfather or a capable and willing guardian.
