Hey, he isn't addicted to the internet anymore! I'd call it mixed results.

Would any camp actually put that on a pamphlet that they did?...
Question: Why would any camp feel the need to state on a pamphlet that they DIDN'T use toture? Is that a common thing in Chinese Summer Camps?

Edit: accidental necroing. My bad.

Either he did something different or he was monitored by more hardcore trainers. Either way, it's an agonizing loss for his parents.

It could happen anywhere else in the world; it just astounds me some of the levels of stupidity in a few of these posts. What really amazes me is that there are a thousand or so camps like these; I wonder if they're specifically geared towards "curing" Internet addiction, or are just glorified boot camps.

The little pamphlet tidbit that was so conveniently present in the OP doesn't entirely surprise me; it's ironic, sure, but we make people enclose or swear on statements like that all the time. They slipped up; first reported death in a place like that out of a country of 1.4 billion. At least they're one step above our policy on potential terrorists!

That's some crazy stuff. Hope those teachers get thrown in jail or something for that.
Kidding me? I hope they get their asses sued for everything they own, then thrown into Prison.

Kidding me? I hope they get beaten to death... with used syringes.

I hate to sound ignorant but if China wasn't so shitty this wouldn't be such a problem.

I realize the US isn't Xtreme! in our Awesome but at least you have something else to do here other than games. China is a pretty shitty place from what I've heard from folks who've lived there.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Chinese government: You deny your citizens the right to find their own truth with heavy censorship, you keep your currency artificially low (which results in fewer luxuries and services from other countries for the Chinese) and severely restrict their religious freedom. If kids want to play games to escape some of these horrible policies... it's not really a surprise is it?

On the other hand, for their parents... now that their kid is dead, they can resume having sex without a condom. One child policy and all.

That seems suspiciously specific [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuspiciouslySpecificDenial].

That is just.. some kind of fucked up, either way you go this.

My condolences to the family, and to the stakes with the teachers/torturers!

hahahaha...Only in China would the mission-statement for a camp need to clarify that the disciplinary actions do "not include torture or other methods that might damage a child's health."

Well, you can thank the "Related Stories" box at the bottom of the page for the resurrection

Holy shutta. What the hell China? What the HELL?

If I was a parent of the child, I think I would send a mail bomb or 50 over. This is wrong, and they said they wouldn't beat on the pamphlet. Those sick communists. And you know what, the Chinese won't know, their government will keep them in the dark, we hear far more about this sort of thing than the average Chinese citizen.
