Chinese Teen Beaten to Death at Internet Addiction Camp

[DarkRyter]

Poor kid. All he ever wanted was some good loot.

 

[londelen]

*epic facepalm*

So the parents basically paid 1000$ to get their kid killed? :s

Yeah; I'd have done it for $200.

This is pretty unnecessary. x\

I don't know if you were trying to go for a light joke but this is neither the place nor the time, sorry.

I thought it was funny....


Does this mean I'm going to hell?

 

[MrGFunk]

This is terrible. How much internet time is considered to be an addiction?

"School administrators were baffled when this attracted national attention. 'We don't understand - our methods are flawless: he'll not be using the Internet anymore.'"

lol..........can i give you something like points for that.......? or like.. a thumbs up..? cause..funny..

OT:..i think they're just bastards, killing them would be ok.. - the people who beat the kid..

 

[Bat Vader]

Poor guy. I wonder what became of the teachers. Hopefully they get locked up for life because of it.

 

[DamienHell]

....China I.....*sigh*

 

[Raregolddragon]

You know this could all have been avoided if China would just stop there war on fun.

 

[Raregolddragon]

Now we just wait for Fox News to hear, and blame it on video games.

I don't know it has China's life style in the story, if you ask me and Fox rater hate China/

That's just sick. Hope they get shot for the rest of their lives.

When one shot is not enough, you need a firing squad every hour on the hour.

[small]...China used to be cool...*sigh*...[/small]

China still cool!
[small]Hehe Simpsons [/small]

"In this square, in 1984........nothing happened."
[small]hehehe, more Simpsons [/small]

"You pay later!!"
[small] Sorry couldn't resist [/small]

Jokes aside this is just horrific i hope those "teachers" have the book thrown at them!
And since when did China have these camps? :S

 

[Dogstile]

after the electro shock treatment, i had doubts that anything china could do would shock me

i was wrong

 

[Lexodus]

What I want to know is, who got the loot?

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

I'd probably be a lot more surprised regarding this news if I hadn't read an article just like this on the Escapist on how China used electroshock therapy on Internet addicts. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93162-China-Ends-Electroshock-Treatment-for-Internet-Addicts]

I'm very saddened to hear that this kid died. It hits particularly close to home, seeing as I use the Internet so often. I guess I'm glad I don't live in China, then.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

Im curious to see exactly what sort of regimentation they put the kids there through, sounds more like basic training for chinese troops. Wouldnt surprise me if they were just training soldiers.

The scareist part of this to me is that it's probably true.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

In all seriousness now, this is the kind of negative press China DOESN'T want. I expect they'll lash out at this camp and try to prove how it's an isolated incident and utterly smear these teachers before putting them away forever.

 

[Tanzka]

I.. Fine. What the hell China?

 

[tenlong]

Omg china is so fucked up!

 

[ScarlettRage]

Jesus Camp +1.

Seriously though, that's terrible.

hated that movie...

it is terrible

This reminds me of one of my old posts about how to treat videogame addiction. I belive that many peoele responded with similar methods of those used in this story. I think that people who suffer from addictions need to create a new life in which the addiction is no longer necessary.

Most addicts are running from something.
