Fengyun kindergarten illegal drug abuse incident

"Fengyun kindergarten illegal drug abuse incident" refers to Xi'an Fengyun kindergarten for a long time without notifying parents

Feng Yun Kindergarten, a subordinate of the Song Qingling Foundation of Shaanxi Province, is located in Xi'an Fengyun Lanwan Community. It has a total of 690 young children.

Since early March 2014, parents have found that their children are taking unknown drugs in kindergartens. Some parents found that the white pills they took home brought "ABOB" on them, which is a broad-spectrum antiviral prescription drug commonly known as "viral spirit", which is mainly used to treat respiratory infections and flu.

On March 10, 2014, some parents posted Weibo to report the situation. The following day, dozens of parents gathered in the kindergarten to discuss their case.

One parent said that the child who was attending the large class told her that the teacher had given them this medicine from a small class, taking the medicine two to three days a week, twice a day, and one tablet at a time. Children often experience symptoms such as dizziness and leg pain. Another parent said her daughter had been in this kindergarten for the fourth year. When she returned home, she often said that she was dizzy, had leg pain, and had a stomachache. He also found that the child had chronic constipation, night sweats, and more lower body secretions. ^[1]

The main question for parents is: When does kindergarten begin to give their children collective medicine? What is the purpose of giving your child medicine? What are the side effects of taking this medicine? Relevant departments in Xi'an said yesterday that there are no more detailed investigation conclusions on these issues.

One parent, Ms. Zhang, said that her child said, "The principal's mother" said that taking this medicine is good for the body, it is a good medicine, so he took it and went home without saying. The child also said that he had been taking medicine since the day shift and had been taking it for 3 years.

According to the "China Business Daily", Fengyun Kindergarten's legal person Sun Xuehong said that in 2012, avian flu was given to young children during the high incidence of bird flu, but the following year she proposed to ban the use of virus spirit, but "this year, health care doctors gave this to children again medicine".

Some parents said that according to the Fengyun kindergarten charging method, such as kindergarten absent from kindergarten, parents must be refunded. If you are absent for more than ten days, you will have to refund half of your check-in fee. In order to ensure that the child is not sick, and to ensure the attendance rate of the child, the child is given medicine. According to "Xinmin Weekly", the principal acknowledged that he would only give the child medicine after a brief discussion with the health doctor in the garden, in order to prevent the virus and ensure attendance. ^[1]

At 9 pm on March 13th, the Xi'an Municipal Government held a press conference on Fengyun and Hongji New City Kindergarten's private use of prescription drugs.

The reporter learned from Xi'an on March 13 that from March 12 to 13, the Xi'an Public Security Bureau will criminally detain five people including two kindergarten principals and health care doctors who are feeding infant prescription drugs on suspicion of illegal medical practice.

At 9 pm on the same day, the Xi'an Municipal Government organized the Municipal Health Bureau, Municipal Education Bureau, Municipal Food and Drug Administration, Yanta District Government, Lianhu District Government, and Municipal Public Security Bureau in connection with the incident of privately taking prescription drugs for young children in Fengyun and Hongji New City Kindergarten. A press conference was held in which the relevant units made detailed explanations on the investigation and disposal of the current incident, and answered questions from reporters on the spot. ^[2]

Xi'an Municipal Health Bureau has organized experts in pharmacy and neurology to discuss the indications, contraindications, curative effects, and toxic and side effects of Fengyun Blue Bay Kindergarten taking medicines for children in the park. ^[1]

After hearing this news, many parents filled with indignation. The incident is still under investigation. The key issues such as why kindergartens give their children medicine have not yet been completely clarified. Responsibility after the fact does need to be taken seriously, but it should be spread from this news and cause some reflection to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

First of all, relevant departments should increase the supervision of private kindergartens. According to reports, this kindergarten in Xi'an has given children medicine for three years. Since 2011, has the local education department ever heard of this and has it fulfilled its supervision responsibilities? This should not be ignored. The supervision of primary and secondary schools is relatively strict, but the supervision of kindergartens, especially private kindergartens, is not so sufficient. Although the functions of primary and secondary schools are more complicated than kindergartens, and it is reasonable to strengthen supervision, looking back at some negative news that occurred in kindergartens, we will see that the supervision of kindergartens has become a black spot. News similar to the cruel corporal punishment of children by preschool teachers has also occurred many times. . If the education department manages private kindergartens in the same way that primary and secondary schools are supervised, it may not happen that the prescription medicines are taken indiscriminately, or at least it will be difficult to stick for three years.

Secondly, the incident is also inconceivable. As the children of the parents' palm, they have been taking prescription drugs for three years. Are parents and children not aware of it in their daily conversations? Could it be that parents have all turned into shopkeepers, throwing their children to kindergarten? If this is the case, this attitude will undoubtedly make the kindergarten more unscrupulous in giving their children medicine. Educating children is definitely not only a school matter. Regardless of academic or physical conditions, parents should always form a smooth communication channel with the school. Not to mention that some children have had some adverse reactions before, and parents should not be paralyzed.

Parents were not informed that giving their children prescription drugs should of course be punished. But beyond punishment, we should calmly reflect. First of all, what is the power for all the teachers and principals of the kindergarten to collectively medicine? Second, parents should calmly pick up legal weapons to discuss. It should take responsibility from the education department to the kindergarten to the parents. (Source: Guangzhou Daily) (Zhang Zhang) ^[3]

On March 13, 2014, the legal persons Sun of the two kindergartens, the director of Fengyun Kindergarten Zhao, and the health doctor Huang were criminally detained for suspected illegal medical practice.

In the morning, Fengyun Kindergarten has resumed opening, and the new headmaster, teachers, health doctors and other personnel selected by the education department have been in place. Children who have taken Viral Spirit have been led by parents and have begun a physical examination. ^[4]

Questions on the abuse of prescription drugs in Fengyun kindergarten

1) The reason for this is that there is insufficient motivation to provide kindergarten children with collective medicine because of the "prevention of colds". This reason is absurd;

2) No related organ dysfunction was detected, and common meaningful clinical biochemical indicators were not found temporarily;

3) The virus virus involved is not recommended for children because it is not clinically tested in children at the factory. For fear of side effects, Xi'an Children's Hospital has long since discontinued this medicine.

4) The current online information shows that all cases in this type of incidents reported throughout the country were "Virus". This is unlikely, because "viral spirit" is not a special medicine to prevent colds, or a regular medicine to prevent colds, and most doctors prescribe different cold medicines.

Exploration of the truth of Fengyun kindergarten illegal drug abuse incident

In such a situation, it is definitely not a kindergarten to give children such drugs as "viral spirit" in order to "prevent colds". It can only be when someone specializes in carrying out such an event in various parts of China for some purpose. Viral spirit is used everywhere in the kindergarten feeding incident.
