Recently, organized by the brand department and criminal department of Beijing King&Capital Law Firm, the “Protecting Children Program” national tour public welfare speech - “Rule of Law Sunshine Campus Tour” was successfully held in Yinchuan, Ningxia. Organized. The activity went into five junior high and high school campuses, bringing a professional and infectious practice of rule of law education to thousands of teachers and students.
As the main speaker of this public lecture, Mr. Peng Jiyue, senior partner of King&Capital Law Firm and head of the third department of criminal practice, constructed a unique legal cognition system for the students by virtue of his many years of rich practical experience. Different from the traditional legal lectures, Mr. Peng abandoned the boring interpretation of the provisions, but combined the latest judicial data with real cases, and focused on the three core themes of school bullying, prevention of sexual abuse, and prevention of Internet addiction, so as to let the knowledge of the law into the hearts of the youth.
“This is different from any legal lecture, laying out actual cases is much more useful than just talking about the law.” Participating in the activities of a middle school teacher in Yinchuan said with deep feeling. In the classroom, Mr. Peng guided the students to think actively through the way of “questioning and interaction + case analysis”, from “the responsibility of bystanders in school bullying” to “the legal boundaries of online dating”, a case close to the lives of teenagers. The students were able to discuss issues that are close to the lives of young people, and the students changed from passive listening to in-depth participation, facing the temperature and scale of the law in the analysis of real cases.
When it comes to the real case of the 13-year-old boy who violated and killed a young girl in Dalian, the atmosphere was particularly heavy. A boy stood up excitedly, with anger and concern in his eyes: “I have a younger sister, and I'm especially afraid of her encountering this kind of thing. I hope that the law on the protection of minors can be strengthened, and that the criminal law can be more powerful in penalizing minors for committing evil acts!” These words triggered the class resonance, applause. Lawyer Peng took this opportunity to explain in detail the newly revised Protection of Minors Act “school bullying prevention and control system” “sexual abuse of minors prohibited from practicing” and other highlights of the provisions of the law, so that students understand that the law is both an "umbrella of protection so that students will understand that the law is both a “protective umbrella” and a “high-pressure line”.
The effectiveness of the event was vividly demonstrated on the following day. A parent contacted the organizer of the event to say that after listening to the first day of the course, his child, who was addicted to cell phones, took the initiative that evening to propose that "in the future, we should reasonably arrange the time for surfing the Internet, and focus on studying. “Even if only one student thus recognize the risk, make changes, our popularization of the law is meaningful - perhaps to help the bullied children learn to protect themselves, perhaps to let the confused teenagers to keep the bottom line, this is enough.” Lawyer Peng exclaimed, "These feedbacks make us even more convinced that the popularization of the rule of law can save bullied children, guide confused teenagers, and also allow the seeds of justice to take root - so that the students who hold fast to justice will be more confident, and those who have a tendency to bully will be able to recognize the boundaries. "
“Even if only one student listens, our efforts are worthwhile.” The program director said, "We may be helping a child who is a victim of bullying to recognize the danger, a bystander to be more resolute in his or her choice of justice, or an abuser to hang back. Whether it's physical harm or emotional abuse, education in the rule of law can be that critical barrier."
From the campus classroom in South of the River Seas to the path of growth for more youths across the country, the King&Capital Law Firm ‘Protecting the Seedlings Program’ will always be winged by the power of professional law, so that the sunshine of the rule of law can penetrate the fog of growth. Under the protection of the law, we hope that every teenager can walk forward without fear and grow towards the sun, which is the most precious meaning of “Protecting the Seedlings”.
