HANGZHOU CITY, China – A 35-year-old man has been detained after allegedly mauling to d***h his 11-year-old daughter because she copied the homework of her classmate in Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province, China.

According to reports, Ye Hung tied his daughter with a rope and beat her severely inside their house for copying the her classmate’s homework.

After beating his daughter, the father was reported to have gone out to get some fresh air. When he returned to untie her, he noticed that her breathing has stopped. She was rushed to the nearest hospital, but died the next day.

Xinhua news agency reported that the father ordered his daughter to kneel down, then he tied his hands and beat her.

Sources said the father loved his children, but he hates it if they do not do well at school. The father wants his children to succeed which is why he is very strict on their school performance.

The teacher of the girl said she was sweet at school, but her academic performance is low. It was also learned that the girl had already been punished in the past for submitting homework that was not her own.

All over China, children are pressured to do good at school since the country are in need of qualified workers. Due to the tough stance in education in China, many school children have committed suicide or violate some school laws just to have good grades.

In January last year, a student in Inner Mongolia jumped from the top of a building after learning that his test scores had dropped, the China Daily said. Earlier this month a 13-year-old boy in Jiangsu province hanged himself after he failed to finish his homework, the newspaper added.
