Photos of Chinese actress Fan Bingbing kissing a beluga whale at an aquarium became viral and generated controversy after an animal rights group accused the aquarium of animal cruelty.
Similarly, a young mother is accused of child cruelty after she was photographed at the Hong Kong MTR Station trying to place her young son inside the station’s trash bin. Stuffing the tyke inside the bin is the mother’s way of disciplining her young son.
Someone posted the photo on social media, and it elicited comments from netizens on the poor parenting skills of the child’s mother. The photo, which went viral also, was initially posted on the Facebook page of Hongkong.coconuts.co, reported Malaysiadigest.
Betty Hong, the uploader, said with the child were two women and a man who were all speaking Cantonese language. A passenger tried to intervene, but the three cursed at the air traveler. Hong wrote “The kid’s not pooping, he’s being punished.”
Some netizens debated if the mother is from mainland China or Hong Kong. But for many commenters, their consensus is that the manner she treated the child is unacceptable, reported Coconuts Hong Kong.
