15-year-old beaten to death by counselors at government-subsidized 'treatment' facility
From an IDG News Service story on our site:
Deng Senshan, 15, was pronounced dead early Sunday, one day after his parents sent him to Qihang Salvation Training Camp in the southern city of Nanning to cure his Internet obsession, the state-run China Daily said. The camp’s counselors put Deng in solitary confinement after he arrived, scolded him for running too slowly and later beat him to death, the paper cited Deng’s father as saying.
Police detained four suspects over the beating and are still investigating the case, the report said.
There are worse afflictions than so-called Internet addiction.
