HAPPENED IN CHINA
chained his son to go to work
's father: We do it for his safety, disappeared a month ago our other daughter. The authorities did not believe him
chained Lao Lu (Olympia) LONDON - It is one of those shock: a baby wrapped in a colorful jacket, holding the chain with which his father was tied to a lamppost, while A padlock locks the ankle to prevent it from moving. For us Westerners, an example of infinite cruelty. But for many Chinese people without a fixed salary and forced to eke out a living doing the most menial and low-paid, this is their only way to keep an eye on their children and avoid to be taken away to be sold even by people unscrupulous. GONE
The sister - why Chianliu Mr. Chen was forced to resort to such barbarity to make sure that the small Lao Lu if they do not go around on his own as he ran around with his clients on the streets of illegal rickshaws Beijing and the disabled wife to collect the rubbish. In short, the two parents would do that for the safety of the child, after that last month we have seen to disappear under Ling, the daughter's nose, just 4 years old, taken away by someone in a moment of distraction. But the explanation did not convince the authorities, warned by some passers-by who found themselves in front of the poor in chains outside the Lao Lu dell'Huaguan Shopping Mail Liangxiang, Dad ordered Chen to release him immediately, even if now no one knows what purpose can make the small Lao Lu kindergarten, in fact, the child can not go, because the 42-year old father comes from the province of Szechuan, and therefore can not take advantage of state aid, as evidenced by the fact that the family lives even in a room of 3 x 2 and a half. Nor, Mr. Chianliu can afford a babysitter, as he earns 5 € a day with his odd job.
THE RISK OF NEW PADLOCKS - "My wife can not take care of the child - the man told the local press - and I have to work to support his family, so I can do is tie to the pole with a Lao Lu chain when I do a race with the rickshaw. Having already lost a daughter, whom I have not even a photo to use as a flyer for missing persons, I can not risk of losing my son and I have also given up a lot of money just to not give it up for adoption. " But if there is found a different solution, the small Lao Lu, who is in another photo portrait smiling in the arms of his father, could end soon with a new lock at the bottom, again for his own good.
