Chinese teenager beaten to death in internet addiction clinic

[SteamWake]

Chinese evidently take the 'internet addicttion' malody quite seriously.


His parents took their son to the Guangxi Qihuang Survival Training Camp in southern China on Saturday, paying 7,000 yuan (£605) for a month of treatment. Deng Fei, his father, told supervisors that his son was shy and introverted and they should avoid putting too much pressure on him during the first couple of days. They agreed.

Instead, the boy was placed in solitary confinement shortly after his arrival and then beaten by his trainers who scolded him for running too slowly when he was ordered to go jogging. He was pronounced dead in the early hours of Sunday morning.

I see a business opportunity here. I'm going to open a "Silent Hunter Addiction Clinic" and put my banner ads here on Subsim. :|\\

Indeed. Internet addiction is dangerous. The young man might just have read something that he wasn't supposed to read. Can't have that.

Might be more to this than meets the eye but....

Still sad anyways.

[Letum]

Internet use is a moral sickness and only the harshest of punishments are fit for those who use it.

Man wouldent it be horrible if the parents dident know or understand their sons activist blogging and handed him over :o

"May we see his computer?" "Of course anything to help our son" :oops:

[Raptor1]

It is sad that today's youth are dragged into such dangerous, imperialist-spread things as the internet...

[FIREWALL]

A mind is a horrible thing to waste.

But killing the body is no big thing. :o

If only irony tasted like ice cream.

Didn't the same happen to some US juveniles while being in boot camps some time ago?

I love it when some people believe they can do whatever they want with others.:nope:
We've had our share of that a few decades ago... not a too nice time....

Yes here in Florida in fact I worked on the 'camp' after it closed down. They relocated some of the portable buildings.

But I digress. That case was mostly a case of neglagance and while yes they did beat the kid when he passed out they attemped to revive him by cramming amoina (smelling salts) up his nose while the 'nurse' looked the other way. While on videotape by the way. All were ultimatly found culpable and prosecuted.

In the case of this young boy who knows what kind of abuse he was subjected to. However I seriously doubt prosecution is in the cards. I can say almost certainly there is no videotape and if there was it would never make the news.

Thats the difference.

The kid was a capitalist that just wants to exploit the people. He is also a spy for the imperialists and was using the internets to transmit information to the fascist governments of the oppressive west!

[SUBMAN1]

And this is surprising why? China is a Communist/Socialist country. When you don't conform.............
