HONG KONG: A junior high schoolgirl from southern China was left in a coma after her school allegedly made her stand outside on a chilly night. The allegations were reported by News Online, a current affairs programme broadcast by Guangxi Network Television on Sunday. Yang is feared to have developed multiple organ failure since she passed out on Dec 11 at Guigang City Daxu Township Second Junior High School. Yang started shaking after a few minutes before suffering what appeared to be a seizure and fainting, said the student. Yang’s father said it costs the family 20,000 yuan (US$3,000) a day to support Yang’s intensive care and he called on the school to foot the bill.
