A Chinese boy was so addicted to the internet that his mother stabbed him.
Over time, his usage fuelled an addiction that saw him regularly steal money from his parents or “lose” the change when he was sent to buy groceries for them.
Things went further than usual one night when the boy left his parents after dinner, having pocketed his mother’s money, only to be found playing away at a Internet cafe. His parents took him home and, after reportedly beating him with a laundry rack, his distressed mother sliced into his leg with a kitchen knife.
Will some people accept, or even admire this kind of parental response to a demonized/semifictional behavior?
