Over 400 million views on Weibo... Criticism continues

[Asia Economy Reporter Bora Lee] A controversy has arisen in China after a man in his 30s slapped a 5-year-old boy, accusing him of injuring his own son. The man is reported to have been apprehended by the police.

Multiple media outlets, including the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP), reported that the police in Nanjing City, China, recently arrested and are investigating Mr. Lu Mo (33), a local resident, on charges of assault.

Mr. Lu is accused of visiting the home of 5-year-old boy A, who attends the same kindergarten as his son, on the 5th of this month, slapping him, and pushing A’s grandfather, causing a broken leg.

The media explained that a camera installed in A’s home captured all of Mr. Lu’s actions. The footage clearly shows Mr. Lu shouting at A, who was sitting on a chair at the time, saying, "You must not hit other friends using objects. Do you understand me? Answer me."

Afterward, Mr. Lu struck A’s face so hard that he fell backward off the chair and asked, "Are you going to hit other friends again in the future?" Seeing this, A’s grandfather stood up and hid his grandson behind himself.

The grandfather then, seemingly angry, picked up a plastic chair and approached Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu pushed him down. It is reported that due to the assault, A’s face became swollen and bruised. Additionally, the grandfather is receiving hospital treatment for a broken leg, according to the media.

Meanwhile, it is known that Mr. Lu committed the assault after learning that his son had a minor injury on the back of his head from a fight with A at the kindergarten earlier that day. A’s mother was planning to visit Mr. Lu’s home with gifts, acknowledging A’s fault.
