Two-meter long iron chain was tied to the iron post at the roadside at one end, and the other end was tied to a boy’s ankle.  “I scared I will lose him,” the boy’s father said.  The father explained the boy’s mother suffered from mental disorder, and she was unable to take care of the boy.  He needs to work to support the family.  He lost his 4-year-old daughter before and this cause him to chain his son in order to protect the son.

The incident happened at the west wing of Beijing Fangshan Liangxiang shopping centre.  Chen Chuan-Liu was working and there were a number of frostbite on his face.  There was a cardboard on the floor two meters away from the pole sign, and on the cardboard was a stroller.  The two-year-old boy was sitting on the cardboard drinking cold milk, and the pacifier was black in colour.  A driver shouted “Golden Egg” to the kid and the boy smiled at him.  Golden Egg’s right leg was chained with a two-meter long iron chain and tied to a pole sign.  Chen Chuan-Liu went to work every 10 minutes, and no one was looking after the boy during this period.  The boy’s mother, Yang Cai-Hong, was picking bottles on the other road and claimed that she was pregnant again.

A driver said that Chen Chuan-Liu tied his son here since three or four days ago, and Chen would bring the boy back home after work.  Chen said his hometown was Sichuan, and he had no relative at Beijing.  He needed to work to support the family and no extra time to take care of his son.  Chen also cannot afford to send the boy to kindergarten, therefore he rather chained his son than losing the boy.  Some people advised Chen to send his son to welfare organization to let others adopt the boy, but Chen could not bear to lose his son.  Zhang Wen-Juan, Deputy Director of Beijing Youth Aid and Research Centre, said that there was a lack in relevant welfare system in current legislation for those children with parents as they are not considered as orphans.

Two boys were given special punishment by kindergarten teacher for eating during the afternoon nap.  Qi Jian-jun, father of one of the boy, revealed to the reporter that the teacher punished the students harshly by hitting their legs and also poked their wrists for up to 20 times with needle for only tiny mistake.

The boy, Qi Ding-wei, was only four-year-old.  He went to a kindergarten at Hsinchu.  One day, he told the father that he made a good friend and his friend gave him a lot of delicious food.  Qi Jian-jun was proud that his son made friend by his own.  Qi Ding-wei also brought some snacks from home to share with his friend at the kindergarten.  They ate the snacks during napping time and this brought them torturement from their teacher Zhang Chenxi.

Ding-wei told his father what happened in school when he got home.  This shocked the whole family.  According to Ding-wei, when the teacher discovered they were eating during the napping hour, the teacher asked them to do horse stance on two benches.  Their knee must be bent to half and if the gesture was not correct, the teacher will beat their legs with a stick.  Besides, their hand must be extended to the front when doing the stance.  If the hands had any sign of getting lower, the teacher will poke their wrists with a needle.  This torture was carried out for one whole afternoon.

Qi Jian-jun took the injury photo of his child to keep as evidence.  It can be seen clearly on the photo that there were more than 20 eyeholes on the wrist.  Qi Jian-jun said the family had counted the hole and there were 26 of them.  According to Ding-wei, his friend was poked more times than him by the teacher.

When the reporter went to the Hsinchu kindergarten to investigate the issue, the kindergarten director Su told the reporter that they didn’t know what had happen because none of the party had report to the school.  The kindergarten director and staffs went to Qi Jian-jun house to apologize twice and paid them eating fee with the valued of 1,000 Yuan as compensation.

Although Qi Jian-jun claimed that Ding-wei wrist was poked at least 26 times, teacher Zhang said that she only poked two times.  She said she did not know where other eyeholes come from.  Director Su said that kindergarten teacher was not allowed to do any physical punishment to the students.  The school had investigated the incident, but Zhang had not decided to quit the job.  It was later discovered that Zhang did not have any teaching qualification certificate.  Director Su said that kindergarten teachers must have teaching qualification certificate to teach in the school.

Qi Jian-jun already reported to the local police station to investigate the matter.
