Broken two ribs is only considered a minor injury?

Since the Tangshan beating incident, the development of the incident and the condition of the beaten girl have been the focus of attention from all walks of life. Recently, the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department reported on the progress of the investigation of Chen Mouzhi and others suspected of provoking disturbances and violently beating others. The content of the report is quite long, and those who are interested can search it on Baidu. I will only capture a section of the report on the injury of the beaten girl:

Why was the girl only diagnosed with minor injuries? What are the standards for assessing the degree of human injuries? Let's talk about it today.

01. Why was the girl who was beaten identified as having suffered minor injuries?

"Broken two ribs is only a second-degree minor injury." Seeing the announcement that it is only a second-degree minor injury! I guess many people are confused about this and think it is too minor.

In fact, this is related to my country's "Standards for the Identification of the Degree of Human Injury". Here is a point to make, as long as the injury is identified as a minor injury, according to my country's "Regulations on the Handling of Injury Cases by Public Security Organs", it is a criminal case and criminal responsibility needs to be pursued.

Why does the beating seem serious in the video, but the injury is only identified as minor? Let's talk about my country's injury identification standards.

02. Standards for identifying the degree of human injury

my country divides human injuries into three categories and five standards, namely: severe injury level 1, severe injury level 2, light injury level 1, light injury level 2, and minor injury. In general, severe injury corresponds to major injury, light injury corresponds to moderate injury, and minor injury corresponds to minor injury.

These five levels are basically interconnected with each other, and because there are too few levels overall, the standards of each level may exceed the average person's cognition.

Taking minor injuries as an example, it may cause damage to a person’s limbs or appearance, hearing, vision or other organ dysfunction, or other injuries that cause moderate harm to a person.

It may be difficult to understand the literal meaning. Let’s take an example: a broken or missing finger may be considered a very serious injury in our opinion, but according to the identification standards, it is considered a minor injury.

The injury described by the victim in the news as a second-degree minor injury is actually still very serious.

Let's talk about the standards for Grade 2 minor injuries.

Brain and spinal cord: skull fracture, scalp wound exceeding 8cm, etc.

Face, auricle: full-thickness lip fracture, nasal bone comminuted fracture, two or more teeth lost or broken, etc.

Hearing instrument: eardrum perforation icon, single ear hearing impairment, etc.

Visual acuity: eye damage, etc.

Neck: thyroid rupture, laryngeal cartilage fracture, etc.

Chest: 2 or more rib fractures, sternum fracture, etc.

The above are only some of the standards for Grade 2 minor injuries. As you can see, in fact, the injuries are very serious, even those that we consider to be serious injuries in our daily lives, such as more than two broken ribs, which we consider to be serious injuries, are only considered Grade 2 minor injuries in the identification standards.

It can be said that although it can be identified as a second-degree minor injury, the damage is actually already huge. It can be seen that the methods used by these criminals are extremely cruel. Failure to punish them severely will not be enough to appease the public anger, let alone to bring justice.

Such cases have occurred many times in Tangshan recently. Before this, there was a special operation to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, but it is unbelievable that so many people slipped through the net.

Finally, the tiger and the rhinoceros are out of the cage, and the keeper cannot shirk his responsibility!
