This morning (19th) a 12-year-old male student in Shun'an Village, Sau Mau Ping, fell off a bridge and died. Together with this incident, three children fell to death in just one month in Hong Kong. The situation is cause for concern.

Professor Yip Siu-fai, Director of the Research Center for Suicide Prevention of the University of Hong Kong, said that unfortunately, there has been another case of school children falling to death today. Parents need to pay attention to the situation of their children after school resumes, including whether they are adapting to campus life.


Ye pointed out that sometimes victims are affected by different factors that make them face different emotional ups and downs during adolescence.

Parents and teachers can pay attention to whether children have revealed their unhappiness on social platforms or with classmates, take the initiative to care for them, and provide appropriate assistance. They can seek assistance from the school and social workers if necessary, and intervene to provide assistance to the victim as soon as possible.
