If the father left a criminal record when he was a minor, his children are still "linked" to school?
"If the child can't go to school, our whole family will quit their jobs and return to their hometown. Ask the chief prosecutor to check if (father) breaks the law when he is a minor, will (his) children be deducted 100 points for going to school?" June 28, A special e-mail was received from the "General Prosecutor's Mailbox" on the website of the People's Procuratorate of Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province.
The writer is Xu Li (pseudonym) from Anhui.
The letter stated that her daughter Lan Lan (a pseudonym) was 6 years old and was about to enter school.
Changzhou implements the points admission policy. After submitting the admission application to the points office for children of migrants, they learned that Lanlan's admission points would be deducted 100 points.
It turned out that Xu Li's husband was sentenced to five months of detention when he was a minor. According to the enrollment points policy standard for children of the floating population, Lanlan’s enrollment points were deducted by 100 points, so he could not enroll.
This request for help immediately attracted the attention of Ge Zhijun, chief prosecutor of the Changzhou People’s Procuratorate.
"There is nothing trivial about the people's livelihood. This matter is related to the issue of the preservation of juvenile criminal records and the livelihood issues of the children of migrant workers, such as regular schooling." The next day, Ge Zhijun replied to Xu Li, stating that the procuratorate would intervene in the investigation to help the masses solve practical difficulties. .
"I can understand the parents' anxiety when they see their children not going to school. We must hurry up on this matter," said Zhu Xiaoyan, the prosecutor who handled the case.
Zhu Xiaoyan asked what happened. Xu Li's husband said that when he was a minor, he was sentenced to criminal detention.
Since then, he has rehabilitated and never committed another crime.
"At that time, I was not an adult and I was not sensible. I really regret it now." In order for their daughter to go to school, the couple often participate in charity volunteer services, blood donation and other related activities that meet the points policy.
Zhu Xiaoyan said that in accordance with relevant legal principles such as "the most beneficial to minors", the "criminal records of minors" need to be sealed and cannot affect their education, employment, and should not affect their children's enrollment.
Sealing the criminal records of minors in accordance with the law is an important measure to ensure the physical and mental health of minors who have gone astray, so as to prevent the society from labeling them and help them better return to society.
Later, Zhu Xiaoyan went to the local migrant children's points office and the public security department to learn about the situation.
After investigation and verification, Xu Li's husband did receive criminal penalties for crimes when he was a minor, but this is not a reason for deducting points.
On July 2, Zhu Xiaoyan suggested to the relevant departments to cancel the deduction of the applicant’s daughter’s enrollment.
After multi-party coordination, the local migrant children's points office cancelled the relevant deductions in accordance with the law to ensure that the children of the parties concerned were not delayed in enrollment, and stated that they will further adjust and improve the points admission standards in the future, and promote the point admission work to be more objective, fair and reasonable.
"Is there any children facing similar situations?" The Changzhou People’s Procuratorate took this opportunity to conduct comprehensive investigations and investigations on the problems in the management of migrants’ enrollment points, and issue procuratorial recommendations and letters of procuratorial concern to relevant units. Effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the children of migrant workers and protect the right of minors to education.
Now, Lan Lan's enrollment problem has been satisfactorily resolved, and she is looking forward to the arrival of the new semester.
