Another teen beaten in Internet addiction camp

pu_liang.jpg It looks like all the bad press still hasn't reached parents who've sent their child to a "personality correction" boot camp. Another boy, 14-year-old Pu Liang, was beaten to a pulp at one of these camps and is now in critical condition at a hospital in Sichuan. His father says he's suffering from water in the lungs and kidney failure after being hit by the camp counselor and several other children. The training center has denied the accusations, saying that it was just the other students who beat up Pu because he couldn't get along with them. Pu had been sent there for becoming addicted to online games and telling his parents he no longer wanted to go to school. Source: China Daily
