According to reports from China News Service in Dongguan on March 31st by reporter Yingmin Li, it was learned from the Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Hospital that recently, a 12-year-old girl named "Xiaona" gave birth to a baby boy. The child was quietly given away, and Xiaona left the hospital with her parents. It is reported that Xiaona is from Wuhua, Meizhou. Her parents work in the areas of Boluo and Dongguan. She attends the sixth grade at a private elementary school. When Xiaona's mother noticed her daughter bleeding, she thought it might be an illness and brought her to the Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Hospital for treatment in early March.

After examination, the doctors were shocked to discover that this dark-skinned, underdeveloped 12-year-old girl was not only pregnant but also full-term and ready to give birth. Following emergency surgery, Xiaona successfully delivered a baby boy. Xiaona’s parents revealed that the father of the baby boy is likely Xiaona's classmate's older brother, who is a junior high school student in the third year. Whenever Xiaona visited her classmate's home, this boy would often close the door and "play" with Xiaona inside. No one suspected anything serious was happening. After Xiaona became pregnant, her family did not file a police report.

It is reported that the 12-year-old Xiaona is the youngest mother in Dongguan in recent years. Xiaona's case is not an isolated incident; every year in Dongguan, there are over a thousand cases of underage pregnancies. The trend of younger and younger minors giving birth indeed raises concern. Recently, a 12-year-old female student suddenly gave birth to a baby boy in the school restroom, and last night, I also saw a news report on Suzhou TV about a 14-year-old boy having multiple same-age sexual partners and three children. Therefore, we wonder why parents, school teachers, and social organizations show such little concern for the lives of minors. How will these children who have already had children face a competitive society? And who will take care of and raise these children born out of wedlock at such inappropriate times? These are all pressing social issues that cannot be ignored or avoided!

As far as I know, due to their parents focusing on making a living, many Chinese middle school students, especially those from migrant families, are largely neglected. Due to insufficient care from families, schools, and society, not only do tragedies like drowning during summer and winter vacations occur frequently, but also particularly when boys and girls are in the sexually naive stage, without proper guidance from families and society, they are easily prone to sexual accidents, causing irreparable harm to their physical and mental health and leaving significant societal consequences. Often, when problems arise, people try to cover them up or shirk responsibility because they consider them disgraceful matters.

For instance, according to relevant sources, the 12-year-old girl in Hangzhou who gave birth in the school toilet allegedly became pregnant under non-consensual circumstances. However, whether this is truly the case is questionable:

1. Parents, relatives, and school teachers may intentionally conceal dishonorable actions, which is essentially an evasion of their own mistakes.

2. Doing so indirectly protects the presumed minor father of the baby boy, preventing the issue from becoming too widespread.

3. Internal handling rather than public disclosure may seem beneficial in reducing the scale of the matter, but if parents and school teachers handle the issue superficially, can they really resolve the root cause so easily? In fact, the number of similar incidents quietly handled behind closed doors could be even more alarming.

In my opinion, it would be better to publicly address and resolve such social issues, even if they involve the privacy and protection of minors. Paying attention to the details does not necessarily create psychological pressure or harm for the parties involved. On the contrary, concealing the truth and avoiding confronting the problem can invisibly harm other minors. Here, I, Guoping Lu, call upon parents, teachers, and social organizations to pay more attention to the lives of minors. Additionally, I advocate for an integrated management system from family to school and society to prevent blind spots in supervision. Moreover, I strongly urge families, schools, and cities that have experienced "scandals" not to hesitate or beat around the bush but instead to acknowledge their mistakes, bravely assume responsibility, and together find the root causes of the problems. Finally, through collective efforts, we aim to completely resolve these issues.

Thus, let us begin with the "Toilet Baby Boy Gate" incident involving the 12-year-old girl in Hangzhou! Perhaps intervention by the police, women's federations, education bureaus, media follow-ups, and public suggestions could help ensure such incidents do not happen again.
