A father in Cambodia reportedly
chained his teenage son to a tree to punish him for skipping school to go to
play online games, police said Thursday.
The 13-year-old was chained to a tree by his neck for nearly two
hours before neighbors called the police and a locksmith came to free him, AFP
reports.
"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,"
Battambang deputy police chief Cheth Vanny told AFP. The boy's father,
Sok Thoeun, reportedly fled the scene after the incident. He is now wanted on
child abuse charges.
