A Teenager’s Horrific ‘Cure’ to End His Internet Addiction

Photo Credit: Telegraph By Tom Phillips. A Chinese teenager has been rushed to hospital after chopping off his hand in a desperate attempt to cure his addiction to the internet . . .

Hoping to rid himself of the vice, one 19-year-old from the city of Nantong in Jiangsu province took drastic measures of his own. He hacked his left hand off, according to a report on the Jiangsu TV channel.

“We cannot accept what has happened. It was completely out of the blue. He was a smart boy,” his mother, who declined to be identified, told reporters.

The woman said she had gone to her son’s bedroom at around 11pm last Wednesday only to find that he had disappeared. She found a handwritten note on the bed in which he should have been sleeping . . .

By then, her son, who was identified only as “Little Wang” had already smuggled a kitchen knife from their home and snuck out. Safely out of sight, the teenager severed his left hand at the wrist. He called a taxi to take him a nearby A&E and left the hand lying on the ground. (Read more about the teenagers attempt to end his internet addiction HERE)

For the first time in his life, his hands and arms are not standing vertical – and he has been reunited with his family who sent him 300 miles away to beg because people would feel sorry for him and they desperately needed money. (Read more from this story HERE)
