Chinese parents say boy killed himself after ‘forced’ haircut by school

A school in northwestern China is suing the family of a 15-year-old boy who blamed it for their son’s death after a teacher took him to get a close-cropped haircut.

On November 2, the boy, identified only by his surname Bi fell from a high building in the residential community where he lived in Xian, the capital of Shaanxi province, 10 days after his teacher took him to the hairdresser and forced him to have his head shaved, the school confirmed on Tuesday.
