"Doctors in Shenzhen, China have reattached a 6-year-old boy's penis after his father bit it off, the Shanghai Daily reports.
According to the paper, witnesses said the 32-year-old father was walking with his naked son and 4-year-old daughter on the street Thursday when he commanded the boy to bite his penis.
When the boy refused, the man attacked him.
Horrified passersby subdued the man, forced him to spit out his son's penis, and called the police, China Buzz reports.
The boy's reattachment surgery was successful, but it is too early to tell whether he will have normal use of the appendage. The Shanghai Daily reports that relatives will care for the boy's sister.
Cops say the father is likely to have a mental illness -- he was recently seen pretending to strangle his son on their balcony, according to witnesses. Police also found that the man, who was only identified by the surname Yu, was severely in debt after a failed business venture and was often seen gambling."
I love how they say "likely to have a mental illness". I'm not a psychiatrist and I can diagnose him as being mentally messed up.
OT: Wow, lots of terrible child massacring going on lately. Here in Britain we had this African kid sent over to live with his older sister and her boyfriend to keep them safe. They ended up torturing him to death with screwdrivers and whatnot, accusing him of witchcraft and being possessed.
We had something like that in Sweden too. Seems like there's plenty of child massacring going on.
I'm lucky I didn't have my tea as I read this...
I'd have done a spit take and had to wash off a bunch of expensive stuff. This is without a doubt the strangest thing I will see today.

nope, I don't hate Chinese society or people. There are plenty of aspects of Chinese society that I respect(like their philosophies, art, and respect for the elderly), but in addition to how they treat Tibet, I don't appreciate how China "deals" with the mentally ill [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/11/world/asia/11psych.html?pagewanted=all], it reminds me of how the Japanese treat their mentally ill [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q7iS4XLD14](which is like how the West treated the mentally ill in the past).

It has to do with how China manages their mentally ill. Here [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/11/world/asia/11psych.html?pagewanted=all] is a link for more information on how mental illness is treated in China.

You know most of China is pretty much like a third world country, right? They've only been modernizing for about 30 years.
And in any case, the article isn't even about mental illnesses, and it doesn't state that he was neglected mental care before the incident (I don't think you get shoved into a mental institution in the states for pretending to strangle your son either). It really seems like you're just grasping at opportunities to throw flak at China, the way some people comment "just another reason Americans are stupid" after every article about some American doing something stupid (at least they don't spin it by saying they meant to highlight problems in the American education system when confronted!). :/

I realize that not all of China is fully up to modern times, it doesn't excuse how the mentally ill are treated.
No, this article mentioned a mentally ill man, and it stated that this man had a history of "odd" behavior. The kind of behavior that at least would get people to ask, "are you ok?".
The article specifically says that China is behind the times in their treatment.
It has been nearly 35 years since the end of the Cultural Revolution, when mental illness was declared a bourgeois self-delusion and the sick were treated with readings from Chairman Mao. Psychiatric treatment has returned. But mental health remains a medical backwater, desperately short of financing, practitioners and esteem.

Not that article. The OP article. It's not about mental illnesses. It doesn't even say the man had a history of odd behavior, and even if it did, so do plenty of kids who shoot up schools in the US.
A blanket insult towards China for having backwards policies to mental illness victims is simply not a relevant response, and frankly, if you actually were trying to highlight that issue, you wouldn't have only said "Chinese society can come across as really messed up at times."

I had the impression that this could have been possibly prevented if a man like this(mentally ill) was taken to seek treatment.

The only thing you bolded that was slightly relevant to possibly having a history of a mental illness was the part about "pretending to strangle his son," which I addressed earlier. The rest of it was the event in itself. You can't count that as having a HISTORY of mental illness.
"You should've known he had problems!"
"How?"
"He just shot up an office full of people!"
"But he did that just now...."
The point about kids who shoot up schools is that
1. It's hard to pinpoint who has mental illnesses and who doesn't
2. You don't call out a country specifically for a problem that exists EVERYWHERE.
I think I've made my point abundantly clear, though I was pretty sure it was clear in the last post too...

I realize it exist everywhere, which is why all countries should take step to provide proper treatment for the mentally ill, the CCP is not one of those countries.
Yes it is hard to tell who has a mental illness, but for some people they give off signs(like pretending to strangle their children and having their children walking around town naked).
If you prefer, I guess I could rephrase by saying it appears that this isn't the first time that the man showed signs of putting his children in danger, and calling in to question his mental health.
