He was sent to a martial arts club to pick up self-defence lessons, but instead, an eight-year-old boy in China was allegedly beaten and left for dead by the very trainer meant to protect him, on the second day of his enrolment.
The boy’s parents had signed him up for a year’s worth of lessons at the Chongde Juying Martial Arts Sports Club starting on June 17, paying a reported 7,680 yuan for him to be trained at the club in Qingdao, Shandong. But on June 18, he was taken to the Third People’s Hospital in the eastern Chinese province’s Chenyang district and was declared dead on arrival. Medical records cited by Chinese daily The Paper revealed that his heart had stopped around 20 minutes before he reached the hospital.
The Chenyang branch of Qingdao’s Public Security Bureau said in a statement on Monday that three people linked to the club, including the couple in charge of the club and one coach, were arrested at around 2pm on June 18 over an alleged criminal case of intentional harm that led to one death.In a video that has been circulated online, a man can be seen attempting to prop up a boy, who is apparently feeling faint, on a chair in what appears to be a classroom.
