She Said No. He Kept Sending “I’d Love to Visit Your Home.” A Guizhou Teacher’s Transfer Is Not the End.

She said she didn't want private contact. He kept sending "I'd love to visit your home."

On September 18, at Dafang County No. 2 Middle School in Bijie, Guizhou, a physics teacher sent WeChat messages to a female student. In screenshots, he wrote: "Actually, I have never stopped loving you." He also wrote: "In my heart, you are my family." Then: "I'd really love to visit your home, but I don't know the way." The student replied: "Privately, I don't want any more small talk or one-on-one contact." She said no. He kept sending. A netizen later called police. On September 19, Jiuyi Police Station said it received the report on the 18th and officers were following up. The education bureau said police and the discipline inspection commission had stepped in. The school said the teacher was no longer there and had been transferred. The student was still attending class.

The transfer notice was posted on the bulletin board. Wind lifted one corner. Tape still held.

The transfer separates teacher and student. It is not punishment. When an in-service middle school teacher sends messages like these to an underage student, investigators need to look at more than whether he still teaches.

Between teacher and student, there is no equal confession

In a middle school classroom, the teacher stands at the lectern with the roll book, grade sheet, and comments. The student sits below, handing in homework, answering questions, earning credits. When the teacher sends "I have never stopped loving you," this is not two people by the playground passing water. One person holds power. The other does not.

The student had already made herself clear: privately, she did not want more small talk or one-on-one contact. She left no ambiguous space. He kept sending: "I'd really love to visit your home." He understood rejection and kept testing it.

Text harassment leaves traces. The phone lights up. The heart beats faster. She may read the message again and again, wondering how to reply, wondering whether silence will offend the teacher. A teenager fears retaliation, fears her grades will suffer, fears no one will believe her. That pressure weighs more than a curse word.

Public security punishment: sending messages can lead to detention

Article 42 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishments says repeatedly sending obscene, insulting, threatening, or other information that disrupts another person's normal life can lead to detention and a fine. The teacher sent ambiguous, harassing messages. After the student refused, he kept sending. Chat records, times, frequency, and her replies are evidence. Police can decide under the law. If circumstances are serious, detention of five to ten days, plus a fine of up to 500 yuan.

A transfer is not a public security punishment. After police intervene, fine him if a fine is warranted. Detain him if detention is warranted.

Professional ethics: revoke his teaching qualification and remove him from teaching

The Ten Guidelines for Professional Conduct of Primary and Secondary School Teachers in the New Era say teachers must not have improper relationships with students. All forms of indecent assault and sexual harassment are prohibited. The Ministry of Education's position is written in documents: once verified, revoke the teaching qualification, dismiss the teaching post, remove the person from the teaching ranks, and enter the record into the National Teacher Management Information System. No school may hire him again.

The transfer is temporary. The final outcome may be dismissal from public office and revocation of his teaching qualification. He cannot stand at a lectern again. The profession is closed to him.

Discipline inspection commission: Party members and public officials face more sanctions

The discipline inspection commission's involvement suggests he may be a Party member or public official. If he violated Party discipline, the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China allow Party sanctions. Serious cases can lead to expulsion from the Party. Public officials also face public office sanctions. Professional ethics handling and Party and public office sanctions do not replace one another. They can arrive together.

Criminal liability: depends on whether there were more serious acts

Public information so far centers on messages. Was there physical contact? Coercion? Use of the teacher's position to force her? Police must investigate. If forcible indecency is verified, it may constitute the crime of forcible indecency. If the student is under fourteen, obscene or ambiguous messages may also constitute indecent assault on a child. If a crime is established, a court may impose an employment ban. The law has long been severe on sexual assault against minors. A teacher who uses his professional position should face heavier consideration.

A conviction cannot rest on screenshots alone. Criminal liability also cannot be ruled out because these were "only messages." Facts must be clarified and handled under the law.

Civil compensation: mental distress must be compensated

Article 1010 of the Civil Code says that when a person sexually harasses another against that person's will through speech, text, images, physical acts, or other means, the victim has the right to request civil liability. The student's mental state has been affected. She and her parents can file a civil lawsuit seeking an apology, compensation for mental distress, and payment for psychological treatment. A court will consider the nature of the acts, how long they lasted, and the impact on a minor. The teacher's status increases the seriousness of the conduct; it does not reduce liability.

Schools cannot just transfer the person away

Schools must examine management gaps. Can teachers and students chat privately alone late at night? Can they discuss private love and romance? Can they meet alone? These boundaries need clear rules. Reporting channels need to be usable by students. The moral education office, academic affairs office, and principal's office cannot turn away students who come forward.

The Law on the Protection of Minors says units and staff who have close contact with minors must immediately report to public security, civil affairs, education, and other departments when they discover that a minor's physical or mental health has been harmed, is suspected of being harmed, or faces other danger. A school is not a place where family shame must stay inside. Cover-ups and downplaying must also be pursued.

She said no. Someone must hear it

The student refused. She did the right thing. She now needs her parents on her side, the school on the side of protecting her, and the law on her side. Do not ask why she did not speak earlier or whether it was a misunderstanding. The person who crossed the line is at fault.

In similar situations: save chat records, take screenshots, note the time, tell parents, report to the school, complain to education authorities, call police. Consult a lawyer if needed. Do not delete evidence. Do not clear the phone.

In the second period of the afternoon, the physics class representative collected homework and placed it on the upper right corner of the lectern. The new teacher opened the roll book and called a name. The student answered, "Here." Outside, someone played basketball. The ball hit the backboard, loud. On the bulletin board, the transfer notice still had one corner curled up. The tape was not dry.
