Five-year-old girl fell into the trap at the door
On the evening of August 29, Li Cheng (pseudonym) from Harbin found out that his daughter Yuanyuan (pseudonym) was missing.
He reported to the police and saw from the surveillance video collected by the police that the 5-year-old daughter was taken away by a man from the same village, Liu Moumou.
That night, he followed the police dog, looking for the night from house to house in this urban village in Daoli District, Harbin, but to no avail.
The next morning, when the whole family was looking for children outside, Li Cheng received a call from his neighbor.
The child was sent home by Liu's mother.
He hurried back to see that his daughter was covered in injuries, blood stains on her underwear, and a high fever.
He was so angry that he wanted to find Liu Mo. "He has the heart to kill him" and was stopped.
At that time, Liu XX had been taken away by the police-when Mother Liu sent the child home, he followed behind him. Without entering the door, he stood at the root of a wall outside Li's house until the police car arrived.
Li Cheng rushed the child to Harbin Children's Hospital.
The child went directly to the pediatric intensive care unit.
The emergency diagnosis was "acute gastroenteritis, hypovolemic shock".
Her body temperature is as high as 39.5°C.
The receiving doctor was very nervous. Some doctors said to Li Cheng, how are you parents and why are you sending them here now?
The child has a serious infection and is about to go into shock.
That day, it was the first day the girl became a freshman in kindergarten.
The injury certificate showed that Yuanyuan was initially diagnosed as having a recent laceration of the hymen, tearing deep to the bottom of the base, and contusions on her back, buttocks, lower limbs, face and hands.
Li Cheng’s wife told the China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily reporter that it was not until the evening of September 5 that they learned from the hospital that the child woke up.
Due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control requirements, they never saw her daughter after she was admitted to the hospital.
The procuratorate approved the arrest of criminal suspects on suspicion of rape and child molestation.
After the incident, many villagers in Youyi Village in Daoli District did not believe it.
According to their description, Liu Moumou was in his 50s, single, and would not take the initiative to approach women or joking with them.
The distance between Liu's house and the girl's house is only about 100 meters.
This is an urban village surrounded by high-rise buildings. The roads are paved with bricks and wooden boards. The houses are dilapidated and the villagers generally do not have independent toilets in their homes.
Almost no one in the village knows Liu Moumou.
He lives with his 80-year-old mother, and his home is on the corner near the public toilet.
The two make a living by scavenging waste. The wine bottles, cartons and other wastes they picked up are like two rolling hills, standing on both sides of the road all the year round, emitting a pungent smell, which attracts criticism from neighbors.
Old clothes of 3 dimes per catty piled up at the door of the house, and you had to step on it to open the door.
There were also waste products piled up inside the door. From the outside, colorful old objects almost blocked the window.
Liu Moumou’s mother told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily that the home has not been powered on for a while.
She said that her son seldom lives at home, usually "laying down on the street", or staying in another drunkard's house, or spending the night in a park pavilion not far away.
Liu XX is a well-known alcoholic in the village.
From the descriptions of Liu Mu and other villagers, we can roughly know that he was "Temai Tai" and wore cotton trousers and shoes for the summer.
When I drink, I don’t know the east and the west. Sometimes I can drink two bottles of liquor a day, often with one bottle in the left hand and one bottle in the mouth with the right hand.
Some villagers said that they had seen a drunk Liu Moumou lying down to drink the black sewage from the small restaurant.
But he is also a little timid. If he drinks a bit of alcohol and curses others, he runs very fast when someone raises his hand.
A woman in her 40s in the village said that she would be scared when she saw him, but she had never seen him cause trouble.
Liu's mother told reporters that Liu XX had raised forest frogs in the mountains for more than ten years and had worked in other people's homes. At that time, he had a habit of drinking.
He moved here two or three years ago, met some alcoholics, his alcoholism became worse, and he went to buy alcohol as soon as he got the money.
"Alcohol is his lifeblood." Mother Liu said that her son had only given her money once when he grew up so old, and then he became addicted to alcohol and took the 100 yuan back.
A villager described that if an ordinary person has ten strings in his mind, "he has at most eight strings."
When not drinking, Liu XX sometimes helps the villagers do some hard work, and others pay him for their wages.
Yuanyuan's grandfather usually goes to the construction site to pick up paper shells and tie them into bundles, which can sell for more than 1 yuan.
He is in poor health and sometimes hires several people to help, including Liu Moumou.
"(He) doesn't wash his face or shave his head, and he has nothing to do. Look at him as pitiful, give him food and give him some money." Grandpa Yuanyuan said, before the incident, he had hired Liu for four or five days.
Work usually starts at six in the morning, but Liu Moumou is never seen.
Because Liu XX sleeps during the day, he can find someone at four o'clock in the afternoon.
A normal employee can fold more than 100 bundles of paper shells a day, and he can stack up to 10 bundles.
During Liu Moumou's work, the Li family took care of his three meals.
According to Grandpa Yuanyuan's memories, in the evening of August 29, Liu Moumou came to the house to beg for a drink, but there was no alcohol at home, so he gave a bowl of rice.
Liu Moumou asked him for 50 yuan in wages, and he went to a nearby grocery store to borrow 100 yuan and gave it to Liu Moumou.
Before that, they bought a 16 yuan light bulb for Liu's family as part of the reward.
Grandma Yuanyuan noticed that that evening, Liu Moumou, who was standing in front of her house, was already drunk.
After dinner, Yuanyuan's grandparents went out one after another.
According to their memories, less than half an hour later, the two went home and found that the child was missing.
During this period, Li Cheng and his wife have been on the second floor.
They thought that Yuanyuan was watching cartoons downstairs as usual.
The family guessed afterwards that Liu Moumou deceived the child by taking the child to find his grandmother.
Liu's mother recalled to reporters that her son had a dispute with herself that evening, "I don't know how much wine I drank."
Li Cheng still doesn't know where his daughter was taken that night. It was a blind spot for searching.
The police dispatched police dogs and drones, but still found nothing.
Mother Liu told reporters that in the early morning of August 30, she saw her son returning with Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan ran up to Mother Liu. Mother Liu asked her why she didn't go home. She said she was lost.
The son lied to her that he had found Yuanyuan.
Mother Liu took off her cotton coat, wrapped her around Yuanyuan, and sent her home.
The son followed her and did not enter Yuanyuan's house.
When it comes to this matter, the villagers are all sorry.
"This family has nothing to say, they are all honest and good-minded." Some villagers remember that when they moved, their entire family did not help.
This is a girl who likes to sing and dance.
As soon as the music is played at home, she will twist her body along with her, and will post a video of her dancing on the short video platform.
In the eyes of many neighbors, the girl is lively and beautiful, with big eyes and very long eyelashes. She often plays with the children around her. When she sees adults, she will take the initiative to greet her and is lovely.
Li Cheng is a takeaway delivery person. Before he goes out in the morning, his daughter will tell him to pay attention to safety at work.
Sometimes when he comes home late, his daughter will say to him, "Dad, I miss you."
The family moved to Harbin from Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province for nearly 40 years and has lived in Youyi Village for 17 years.
This low two-story house houses a family of six, and the monthly rent is two to three hundred yuan.
The livelihood of the whole family mainly depends on Li Cheng's monthly salary of four to five thousand yuan.
What happened to Yuanyuan made the family feel "the sky is falling."
The grandmother, who usually takes care of her granddaughter, said that she paid great attention to preventing the loss of the child, but never thought that someone would steal or violate the child.
After the incident, she went to the hospital once and suffered a heart attack.
Yuanyuan's mother quit a temporary job she had just started, immersed in grief and resentment.
Grandpa is still collecting waste paper shells to subsidize the family.
The hospital, the police station, the court, and all kinds of affairs are on Li Cheng's shoulders. He resigned and stayed at a small hotel near the hospital at night.
"I'm so scared. If my daughter falls, I will fall." He said.
Because of the serious injury, Yuanyuan spent a lot of money on medical treatment.
Li Cheng said that after a hospital examination, Yuanyuan's lower body was severely torn, and multiple organs in the body including her lungs were also severely infected.
He has successively raised more than 200,000 yuan in donations online.
Later, government agencies expressed their willingness to bear the cost of treatment and psychological counseling for girls.
After that, when someone contacted Li Cheng for donation, he declined one by one.
The local women's federation also issued a letter of opinions on rights protection to the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate, demanding that criminal suspects be severely punished in accordance with the law and the legitimate rights and interests of the victimized girl should be protected.
Li Chengcheng became excited when he mentioned the suspect Liu XX.
He said that when he rushed home that morning, he saw his wounded daughter staring at him, "My brain exploded."
If this did not happen, the two families would have been relatively harmonious neighbors.
Some villagers said that Liu's mother is usually a good person, she has been picking up waste products at the door of her home for many years, and anyone who passes by can talk to her.
Mother Liu remembered that when Yuanyuan's younger brother was born, she gave a red envelope of 100 yuan.
She said that Liu Moumou was not her own person, but was picked up at the garbage station in 1968.
Of all her children, Liu Moumou is the youngest and doesn't like to read, and has not finished primary school.
Mother Liu and her son can make 10 yuan and 8 yuan a day by picking up waste products. If they miss it, they can get 35 yuan. They usually buy some steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, salted duck eggs, and eat them with pickles and bean paste.
The drunk Liu XX would beat and scold his mother, but Liu said that she had never seen him behave harshly to others.
"He and I ate some rags, never enjoyed it. If it doesn't harm other girls, nothing will happen," she said.
From a legal perspective, this is a case of sexual assault of minors among acquaintances.
Lu Xiaoquan, executive director of Beijing Qianqian Law Firm, said that the high incidence of crimes committed by acquaintances is due to the low cost of crime, the high success rate of deception, and the low probability of being caught.
Because children lack the ability and awareness of sexual defense, they are easily threatened or induced.
Li Sipan, a PhD in sociology from the University of Macau, pointed out on Weibo that in urban villages and urban border village communities, children need more watchmen and educators.
The villages in the city have a large number of migrants, and the management is relatively less rigorous. The characteristics of the neighbors bowing their heads and not seeing them can easily lead to the illusion of security. In fact, this kind of acquaintance network is fragile.
For the protection of girls in urban villages, more social work resources should be invested, not only to strengthen order management in the community, but also to provide corresponding safety education for women and children, and strengthen the power of neighbors to watch.
Based on the characteristics of Liu's long-term alcoholism, Lu Xiaoquan believes that whether Liu has used similar methods to infringe other surrounding girls requires a more extensive investigation.
In Lu Xiaoquan's view, all crimes of sexual assault on children should be severely punished.
On the whole, the sentencing in previous similar cases was relatively light, and it was difficult to achieve the unity of legal and social effects of the case.
Sex education expert Fang Gang believes that sexual assault can cause children to reject, deny, or hostile to sex and self, and even affect interpersonal relationships in adulthood. This psychological healing takes a long time to complete and requires a strong support environment.
To prevent such problems, it is very important for society and the law to deter perpetrators and punishing offenders.
These days, Li Cheng is also reflecting on why this happened.
He noticed some online comments and blamed himself for not being optimistic about his children.
Lv Xiaoquan believes that sexual assault on children should be regarded as a comprehensive social problem, and a government-led intervention mechanism of multi-agency linkage and cooperation should be established.
The public must be empathetic and not blindly accuse the victim's family.
All parties should provide strong social system support for families who bravely stand up to defend their rights.
Li Cheng is waiting for the law to give them justice.
Now, he is all about his daughter in the intensive care unit.
He said that when the child is discharged from the hospital, he must take her to the amusement park to have a good time.
Usually I am too busy, the amusement park ticket price is too high, and the child has grown up so old that I have never been there once.
