Outrage: Kid chained up with dog in China

Post Reply New Topic

I about blew a gasket when I saw this on Drudge Report.

This 12-year-old Chinese boy has been chained up by his uncle for the past two years.
It’s claimed that this is for his own safety because he’s mentally handicapped – but most people will find these images truly shocking.
Cai Changqing, from Erlongshan village in Harbin, north-east China's Heilongjiang Province, is shackled each day to a shabby shelter outside his uncle's home.

Warning: there are some graphic images.

anyways if this was the US those people would be in jail for pulling a stunt like that.

This type of thing is very common in third world or "developing" countries. Sometimes the parents or guardian is ill intentioned or uncaring and chain the individual because they don't want to make an effort to care for them properly, other times they mean well and chain the individual because they really have no better alternative.

There was a case in China where a man chained his little mentally normal little boy. The boy was otherwise well cared for and he was chained because another child the couple had had been kidnapped out from under them at their makeshift shop, and they were trying to prevent this from happening to their remaining child.

Remember most of these people have very few, if any resources.

I don't understand why his clothes were taken away though.

I'm guessing he doesn't have any, it looks more like he's treated like an animal, than a person.

@ Chronos

Just because something is "common" in certain places doesn't mean it is should be considered acceptible.

I didn't say it should.

It goes to show you, we in the developed west should thank the Lord we were never born in a third world shithole.

China is actually a "second world" country.

Same difference, but with more factories.
