On Mother's Day, around 9 p.m., a woman in Chengdu in southwestern China was told that her son, who she had dropped off at school just hours ago, had died. People online called for justice for the mother and questioned the actions of the school, police and local authorities. Police issued a statement Tuesday saying they were investigating the death of a 16-year-old student at the No. Why did the school take two hours to notify her of her son’s death? Protests in China, while not uncommon, are usually quickly dispersed by authorities.
