yea awful,

So instead of internet addicts dieing of lack of sleep,
China prefers to eliminate the problem behind the closed doors of secret ,death camps, I mean boot camps....

It's sad the teen was killed, however the parents really have the ultimate authority with a thing called the off switch on the computer. Possibly just setting up some restrictions on the computer could've helped versus spending money on some ridiculous in my opinion treatment center.
