What could be the sin or sins of this lad to warrant such punishment? Two wrongs don’t make a right.
A miffed Cambodian father wanted to punish his 13-year-old lad after he skipped school to play computer games online so he decides to chain him to a tree and padlock the chain too.
The boy was finally released two hours after his ordeal began when neighbours spotted him and called the police.
The cops brought in a locksmith to undo the padlock holding the chain around his neck.
Police spokesman Cheth Vanny said: “The father was so angry that he found his son at an internet cafe instead of at school that he chained him up in public for people to see, to teach him a lesson.
“He is still on the run. This kind of torture is not acceptable.”
The boy’s father, Sok Thoeun, fled the scene after the incident in the northern town of Battambang.
The 40-year-old motorbike taxi driver is now wanted on child abuse charges.
Readers’ do you approve of the punishment meted out by this father to his son.
