Chinese dad chains 8-year-old son to pole and tries to auction him to strangers

One Chinese dad can forget about getting a Father's Day card after chaining his 8-year-old son to a pole and trying to auction him to strangers on the street in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

Yong Tsui tried to peddle Yong Fai, touting the boy's strong work ethic.

Police did nothing until passersby grew irate and assaulted the dad after people expressing interest in Fai asked how much they would need to spend on the boy.

"He has no job, no home and no money," one sympathetic officer said of the dad, the Daily Mail reports. "He says he wasn't interested in the money, just finding a home for the boy."

The scared boy told police his father said he could no longer afford to raise him.

Yong Tsui said he chained his son after learning about a similar situation in China where a chained-up 2-year-old boy got free day care after generous strangers learned of his plight.

For now, the boy remains in the custody of the police

4. Lord, the look on that poor child's face...

5. That dad is a fucking monster

8. If you read the whole article, maybe not

sounds like he was desperate-not for money, but to make sure that his kid had food and shelter. It's sickening that any society can leave parents with such horrific choices.

10. we don't live with 1.6 billion other people in a country that is not

able to beat back the drought and growing desertification that is going to make starvation a reality for more than just him. I don't have any animus for anyone in this story. its sad for all of them.

6. I thought the Chinese were doing so well now that our jobs and

economy are over there. It appears that the ordinary Chinese aren't doing so well after all.

7. Who the hell could do this to their own kid?

That is just f'd up.

[flvegan]

9. I can't see assaulting the dad in front of the child.

Think of the kid first. Liberate him and get him to safety before some lunatic pedophile finds him and starts bidding. Involve the police.

I'm not justifying what the "dad" did, I'm just saying lets not damage the kid any further.

11. Unbelievable.

I hate mankind at this moment.

12. I pray

someone who is good, will come into this boy's life because of this.

I knew a man who was abused at an orphanage and he started a fire that got out of control and burned one whole wing of the orphanage. The town found out about the abuse to the kids and embezzlement was discovered and the corrupt staff was arrested. People from all around adopted kids and my friend was adopted by the town fire marshal and he grew up to be a fire marshal.
