He was punished for skipping classes

13year old boy receiving punishment after being spotted in an internet cafe in the northern Cambodian town of Battambang playing online games when he should have been in class. 

When he supposed to be in school, his father found him playing computer games in an internet cafe in the northern town of Battambang!


The penalty is 'soft'. The outraged father, a Motorbike taxi driver Sok Thoeun, 40, decided to 'teach his son a lesson' by publicly humiliating him.The poor boy was chained by the neck to a thick wooden powerline pole.




But the 13-year-old's public ordeal came to an end in less than two hours after neighbours alerted the police who brought in a locksmith to free the child.
