His parents hoped their teenage son would be home in a month, cured of his addiction to the internet. They never thought that within 10 hours of taking him to an addiction clinic they would receive a telephone call notifying them that he was dead.

...

Police said four people have been arrested in connection with the death of the teenager. One officer said: "We are investigating a case where a high school student was beaten to death by his camp supervisors. The case is still under investigation."

That is completely messed up. Beaten to death by supervisors? Solitary confinement? Really? Was that honestly necessary? Some people are just bat *&#$ insane.

Wow, perhaps soccer or fishing would "cure" his "addiction" to the internet, he needs a new hobby... not to beaten by strangers.

Another set of dirtbag parents

Instead of cutting him off in house and watching over him they sent him away to be someone else's problem and he dies

Hopefully this couple is spayed and neutered

Yes they did they are fully responsible for that child the fact he was addicted to the net was probably due to childhood neglect and a feeling of worthlessness. So instead of confronting the situation and helping him they merely shipped him off to a violent camp where he was killed. Im sure a bit of research would of told them that the place was suspect. ........ Why do some people have children i will never know.

Really? I'd never personally send any of my kids to an internet/fat/gay camp, but I don't think parents doing it are exactly dirtbags (well, except maybe the gay camp ones). But shouldn't we be reserving our contempt for, you know, the people who beat the kid to death?

These camps are a way of parents sending off their kids to be trained somewhere else

When you have kids (as I'm sure you know) your only goal is their well being.

That means if your kid has an addiction to the internet then you turn your house to Amishland and help them through it. You're going through it too even though you don't need it.

It's like the camps for fat kids where the kids get sent away and the parents continue to eat poorly. If your child has a problem with weight everyone in the house eats correctly. That's how it's fixed.

The idea that we have camps that parents use when they don't want to take care of their children is disgraceful

Yes, the people who did it were monsters but the child did not need to be in that environment

According to the article, they were guaranteed his safety, and since this story has made such a big splash, this is obviously the first time someone has died. So are we really going to demonise the questionable parenting choice over the actual act of murder by camp employees?

I think some of you missed a key point of the article: this happened in China.

China is a brutal police state. This kind of thing should come as no surprise.

I don't really know what was going through these parents heads. I'm trying to reserve judgement. Internet addiction seems quite silly in the West. In China, it's treated as a real problem. I don't know whether we have parents passing the buck here, or at the end of their rope trying to fix their child. In the end, I suppose it doesn't matter, even if they were the worst parents in the world, or the most loving, well meaning, their son's fate would have been the same once he was sent to this camp. I just think it's odd the target of hate isn't the actual murderers, who obviously acted in a way contrary to their contract with the kid's parents.
