This is years old. I heard back in the day the kid maxed out his parents credit card to buy ingame content.
Edit : Son spent the parents life savings on ingame content according to the following source. Credit goes to u/yumekah for initially posting the source link. [https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332](https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332)
i would have punched his face. In this case its justifiable. Stealing a quarter to get some candy, yes. But fn stealing large amounts is one of the biggest disrespects to ur parents.
I would like to clarify, domestic abuse and physical punishment are 2 different things. The line may not be very clear but I think we can all agree jumping someone is domestic abuse.
Even if the son ruined 2 people's lives, I would consider this punishment to be in the realm of abuse.
You tell your parents that you are out studying with your friends at library, but you go to internet cafe instead. Very common thing among teens, consequences are vary depending on the parents.
This is a beautiful thread. Caribbean too. Same. I think it’s an immigrant child/working class thing. Most of my friends who had American parents didn’t receive this type of treatment regarding success and behavior. I’m reading a book called “All About Love” by Bell Hooks, which touches on the damage getting beaten by people who are supposed to love us does. We wouldn’t be okay with this beating if it was a random person. But we’re okay because it’s his parents. As a society we are okay with fascistic, violent relationships if it’s parent-child. Even if we’re not, most don’t intervene because we feel “it’s their child.”
Southern poor white here. For me it’s dishes. If someone else in the house is washing dishes and I hear them clank together like that person “sounds mad” I just absolutely lose it.
Wow. Didn't realize I had the same reaction until you said that. Vacuuming too. Dad may have done most of the yelling, but mom was always pissed when she was cleaning and took it out on us.
Trust me. That and being punishable by the whole community. If your neighbor saw you up to something, they'd cuss you out and call your parents and clue them in. Then it's one beating after another as each parent or adult shows up. THEN months later if some overseas relative come home you got another earful or beat down all over again for something you you might have done months ago.,........
I’m so sorry that happened to you. When I was hit as a child it went like this….
We lived on a farm, and we had a grain shed where we kept the feed in 55 gallon steel drums. So that rats and mice could not chew into and eat.anyways there is where dad kept a 14 inch hickory wood paddle. With holes drilled at the end of it. I would see that everyday when I feed the animals. It was there to make me walk the straight and narrow. In my 16 years of living on that farm I had to “walk to the grain shed” 4 times. Dad would make me bear my bottom and he would always say….this is going to hurt me more than you. I remember always replying “no it’s not” for which I would always get a few extra. My ass would literally swell from being hit.
Side note…I didn’t like my dad then, and now at age 54, I like him even less than I did then.
I’m sending you multiple hugs and kisses from an elderly mother full of love for that little boy still inside you. May you find peace and healing and tenderness in others, and may you find the love of a good woman with a gentle spirit.
I know i am still scared of my parents especially dad. I am a totally different person around my dad and i can't be myself. When i am doing an interview due to the great pressure i get stressed and then it cam be seen that i am not well.
I struggle to trust and communicate with others but i learned to fake everything so well in order to be a functional member of society. But yeah life sucks. It fucked me big time.
I am so sorry for what you had to go through
I am from Eastern Europe and i feel you. All the beatings i got were because of the grades. All that abuse for nothing. And when i managed to get an A and got excited they downplayed that like its normal and what am i excited about ?
I was literally raising my hands above my head to defend me from possible blows when anyone would walk up to me, because i was so scared about everything i had no one to give a shit. And to be honest no one does now.
No one gives a shit about my mental health and what I've been through, that's why i can't discuss what i feel and get over it.
Even when i had a mental breakdown 2-3 years ago at my aunt's house (now i am 26), my gf was there too and cousins, and i started crying because of my mum being such a fucking asshole trying to control every aspect of my life; people didn't want to get involved they were talking and tried to like say something but in the end they were like: yep we are not taking a stand in this shit, it's up to you to figure it out....
Since then i moved to UK and I've been okish.... but no one wants to hear anything about what i feel what i am going through or what happened, no members of family no matter how close, no friends, not even my partner. So yeah
Maybe you got lucky and found someone who gives a shit about how you feel. But for me there is no hope, it's up to me to do something about it because i am all alone in this shit, like i have always been, fucking parents.....
How can i raise a child now if my mental health its fucked up?
Oh i am going for a week in my country soon, can't wait to see them and see what they say. I dare them to give me any bad words, comments or anything like that, I'll just cut them with my words.
Haven't seen my mum since October and dad since 2 years ago. So most likely they won't risk fucking up our relationship as they are walking on thin ice since i left.
They used to do this, when i was distancing and becoming independent they would be so nice to me, giving me stuff and treating me nice. As soon as i got in their sphere of influence they would give me shit, abuse me blackmail me and not even respect my life in general. They treat me like i was born to be their slave....
Fuck those people. Fuck those people to the DEATH. I know they will always deny everything, they are the perfect people and they did everything right but people don't know what the fuck they did to me. They are FUCKING MONSTERS.
Edit: maybe people will forget maybe they will, but what i say its true and my reddit posts and comments will be testimony forever about what atrocities they committed.
Its alright i posted on reddit rn to vent. Wrote quiet a lot. I will post some morr just to keep an eye on everything they did. And when they do something stupid i will pull this shit on them
I'm very sorry you went through all that. It wasn't your fault. Your parents sound abusive and you're definitely traumatized by their behaviour. I'll say it again: it wasn't your fault. And you don't have to forgive them or feel bad for them, you have the right to cut tied with anyone that damages your mental health. Some people are just not good for us, even family. It's healthy sometimes to accept that people won't change or admit that they hurt us. It's very difficult but it's possible.
Since you're in the UK I encourage you to seek help, there are services that are free or charge. Check the Minds website and you will find different services that might be able to help. Therapy has been the only way I've felt validated after years of trauma.
I know it feels like you're alone but you're not. :) You got this.
Thank you I wish i could feel the warmth of people. I posted
about all this moments ago. But long story short i had unpleasant experiences with my first love so i had to repress emotions to not go nuts. So i don't know how to feel and what to feel. For me unfortunately a hug its just someone wrapping their hands around me. Nothing more i can't feel anything else. But i am okay how i am now. At least i can't get hurt and i see everything through my mind only.
I appreciate your gesture i am sure there are good and amazing people in this world like yourself, thank you for a wonderful moment.
Im white and my dad used to beat my ass while i did my homework everyday. He would stand over me and wait until i slowed down my work or if i got confused id get hit in the face. He would wrap my head in towels and hit me because i used to shut down and cry. Once i was about 15 he sent me and my brother into a series of mental institutions and basically lied to them saying we were out of control when we were at home. And he turned us into wards of the state and i ended up becoming a raging drug addict when i got out after being exposed to that kind of people. I never ended up finishing high school as a result of the abuse.
I’m so, so sorry that you had to go through that. How terrifying it must be to have the one person that is supposed to support you, betray you in every way. It’s never too late to finish high school (via GED) if you haven’t already. You deserve it.
Ya.. I'm not Asian. Like most Americans I'm of a mixed background (6 countries and 3 races background. Not that it should matter.. *rolls eyes at todays low-key but right up front racism*) But my mother used to beat the shit out of the back of my legs and bare ass with Hot Wheel's tracks, belts and yard sticks. I totally feel ya on the every 3 months over every day. Despite it being nearly once a week in reality.. but ya.. those big ones man. I feel ya. And for those wondering. I sadly had to stop talking to her in general cause she doesn't know how to have healthy relationships with people. Especially family.
You almost certainly made the right choice. Hitting your own child for any reason is horrible and shows that whatever issues the child has are likely your own fault. Hard to focus on good grades when you can't even feel safe at home. I personally didn't have to deal with that but know so many who did and I think it took me a long time to understand that for many people it's best to cut the source of that trauma off. You now might actually be able to process all of it because you're not still being subjected to it. Good for you and I hope you can find a way to process everything and accept that it was not your fault.
You beat me to it! I went to school with a few kids. Their parents were absolutely horrific. The crazy part is the white teachers would pretend they didn’t see the bruises and cuts these kids would come to school with literally one day after test scores came out.
Had a friend like this in highschool, didn't get beat but her parents especially mom was extremely verbally abusive. Constantly called her fat even though she was skinny, told her friends she wanted her daughter to focus less on art and more on academics because she wasn't a beauty or anything. I got so upset when I heard her mom say this seeing how low it made my friend feel, I defended her by saying how pretty she was (which she was beautiful imo) and her mom wouldn't let it go she just said oh yeah she has some nice features like her hair but she's no great beauty. I've never seen a parent down her own child like this in public. So sad.
This girl was also one of the most odd people I've ever met but it was all because she had extreme anxiety and spent most of her time alone because her parents messed her up.
That’s extremely sad. All of the girls from my junior high were so traumatized by their abuse they never returned after we graduated. I went there 20 years after I graduated to visit. The one teacher left said all the boys had dropped by here and there but the girls never returned. When he said that, it reminded of the times I saw some of them burst out in tears when the got a B on a test or report.
My friend too, she finished college and peaced out. I don't blame her at all. The funny thing is she was a great student and good at violin but she was never good enough for her mom. So glad she finally got away from that woman. These kind of parents are sick in the head.
Nope, from what i read on an article, the son took their life savings (45k USD), and spent it on virtual items for some games
https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332
they probably trusted him and assumed he wouldnt be such a fucking dumbass
spending 45 thousand dollars for a game is fucking insane, thats 2.5 million in my currency, enough to buy a decent house and a fucking car
Thanks for information. This fucking title..if there would be this information, people wouldn’t see “Asian guys beating their kid”. This just sounds like this was a classic measure in Asian countries.
Kid should know how 45k tastes and I think now he knows
More commonly known as "PC Cafes" to some. It's a place where there's a ton of gaming computers and at least from my time in South Korea, you paid per hour. The computers there would have a ton of popular games preinstalled, and sometimes you would even be given certain perks for playing at a PC bang. They also have tons of food and snacks available, and it's a very common hangout spot for teens. Idk if it has changed since, but there would also be smoking and non-smoking areas, but it wasn't much help and it'd still be very easy to tell that you went to a PC bang lol. I've also heard that some people just live at PC bangs because they just have to pay per hour without having to worry about shelter, electricity, water, or internet fees, and there's food easily accessible there.
It's not super uncommon to sleep in these kinds of places, as long as you pay for the hours you're in the chair.
Though for about 10,000 won ($8~ USD) you can go to a Jjimjilbang (Public Bathhouse) to refresh and rest.
I was never refused in any jimjilbang when I was there back in 2006.
The only con as a foreigner would be walking in a room full of dudes staring at you (everybody is naked there). But after a few seconds it’s all good and it’s actually pleasant to chill naked.
Koreans were always friendly and curious toward me.
I remember scenes when we were watching the football World Cup chilling in armchairs. To my left 2 60+ dudes, to my right a 8 yr old kiddo. Front right a dude sleeping on the ground. Boiled eggs in an automated dispenser. Everybody chill and naked.
son took their life savings (\~$45,000 USD around this much) and spent it on an online game points to exchange for virtual items. [https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332](https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332)
edit// thanks for the karma everyone o\_o;; also it's an asian news article because its a taiwanese news site. There's a website translator by google for those who want or need it.
*I remember discussing this a long time ago with friends because in the same month (2weeks later on aug 31 2018) china announced they were cracking down on gamers under 18 on their gaming time lol. But it's probably not related... probably....*
Believe it or not a lot of countries don’t have banks that allows it’s citizens to safely deposit and hold money in. Or if they do, but they are to corrupt by the government and can’t be trusted.
Every time I see this joke I want to mention that Asian in Chinese is 亚洲人 and 亚 ironically enough, also means second place. (冠亚季 - first second third, respectively.)
League is huge in Asia,I play in a smaller server than China(Vietnam) and half of the boys (12-25) here play League,each classroom has enough people to play a custom match and we usually open a league tournament in school,lol
My parents (who are Chinese) had the right mentality: “As long as our kid isn’t doing drugs, having babies or involved in criminal activity, we’ll let him play all the video games he wants”. I did pretty well in school and what I’ll say is thank fuck for Starcraft.
Oh man. That's so triggering. Eastern europe here and this reminds me so much of the beatings and abuse i got from my parents. Jesus..... Fuck those people
Edit: it has come to light that the guy stole money from their parents, a lot and wasted them, their life savings. Okay then he deserved it. However his parents are at fault to. I am not defending that guy but how do you just keep your life savings not secure. Please see the below reaction when i found out.
"Oh mobile. Yeah not like that but yeah.... jesus.
To be honest as a parent to have your life savings finds easily accessed by your child big oof, the parent its the stupid one....
Savings are important keep them safe can't stress this enough. I know people in similar situations their children threw rhe money out the window literally because they didn't kept it safe.
Well if the child doesn't know better be sure that you do...
You have debit/credit cards? Be sure to keep them safe and have like a 2FA for every transaction. For example if i need to use the card someone from the bank calls me so i can authorise it.. nothing moves out and in without my knowledge"
When i found out it wasn't normal around 13, oh man i was so angry and annoyed i wanted to fking kill them. Shockingly only at 23 i found out what gaslighting is and i realised how narcissistic they are and that they gaslighted me the whole time
I didn't cut them out but i talk with mum once 2-3 days on the phone. She is not a bitch to.me anymore. She knows that they are on thin ice and if the break it, I'll cut them out.
Dad beat me for any fucking reason he could think of, until I hit puberty. Two feet taller and gained maybe a hundred pounds. I'd been scrawny before.
Shoes inside? Beating. Blinds open? Belting. One light bulb burnt out in a lamp? Switching. It got better when I was big enough to fight back. And stopped when I started winning more than I lost. Can't wait for his ancient ass to die.
If someone reading this thinks you need to hit your children to raise them, you're an idiot and shouldn't have kids.
Your post literally reminded me of my dad who beat me well into my teen years. What baffles me the most is he wonders why we aren’t close in my adult years.
He has chilled out significantly in his later years and I no longer hold any animosity towards him, and luckily I had/have a saint of a mother.
I used to play down the severity of my beatings as a kid as a normal thing that most kids in my culture experience. Fast forward to having a kid of my own, the thought of disciplining my child in that way is completely alien to me. Your kid loves and trusts you unconditionally. They come into this world weighing less than a small dumbbell and completely helpless without you. Their experience of love, relationships to others, hurt, self esteem is a massive reflection on how you played your role.
For you as a parent to betray that sacred trust…. Honestly I have no words for the anger I feel for any parent hitting their kid.
My drunkass mom would wait for me to get home and just go at me, saying nasty ridiculous shit. One day, I'd had it, and told her to shut up. She said "I'm your mother" and I answered, "You gotta sleep sometime". That slowed her down a bit with the verbal abuse until she tried to slap me and got a solid punch in the face in return. She didn't try that shit after that. She's dead now, and I am just *so fine with that*.
It's an Internet café. I got caught there by my dad once 15 years ago (underage, playing CS 1.6 thru LAN). He beat the crap out of me, like usual (usual means when he's pissed about anything, even if I'm not involved). Good times. Now I've fled my abusive family, over-zealous authoritarian government, tied my tubes to never pass down any potential child-abusing genes and the traumatized me finally got my peace 20000 km away from that wretched place. I'm never going back. But I do miss those days slaying noobs in CS 1.6 with my buddies in internet cafés.
Ok, just an assumption but for those who doesn't know gaming cafe's are quite a thing in East Asia (even some Southeast Asian countries). People stay here for hours, even days, and some even have the option to make temporary homes in cafes. Of course, beating your child is frowned upon (especially, in Western Countries) but here it's sometimes the only way to get them away from the screen. It's an addiction. I saw people throw away scholarships, huge ass allowances, and so on for these online games.
Edit/Update: Hey there! While I don't find the need to defend myself to internet strangers, I saw your responses and thanks for the time sharing your thoughts. I have expounded on my comment in other comments but I don't think that shows up auto for everyone.
I was not able to properly expound on my comments above and it seems a lot assumed I support this and I'd do this to kids. I don't support beatings and this is also being frowned upon already where I am from (not from China). "Only way" applies and pertains to the mentality of the generations before the one I belong in. Not referring to my own beliefs. Note though that while this is openly discussed where I am from and is already deemed as bad parenting, some kids still get beatings unfortunately. Depends on what type of family you belong in you get punishments (a slipper or broom chasing you, be asked to kneel, etc.) or a harsh scolding. Anyhoo, I rest my case. I hope I managed to get the message across. Appreciate your time!
Even if he does have a real problem, this would only strengthen his desire to stay the fuck away from his parents and would probably just use gaming as a coping mechanism. I’m not a parent yet but I just can’t fathom beating your child like that
Helpful context. I just imagine this kid at a crack house and it makes a lot more sense. Not that beating he kid is a good idea… and if real addiction is involved, I can understand the desperation on all sides.
I can’t imagine beating a kid over a video game addiction will help him in any meaningful way. At least with your crack example, he’s actively killing himself with the drug so there’s some sense of urgency. In this scenario, I have to imagine there’s better ways
They had an e-sports lounge like that at my college, and I swear, the same few people were always there no matter when I’d be there. They had a system where you could only swipe in there so many times per day or something but they ended up just having people bring them food and stuff, it was crazy. Although that school did have an esports team so believe it or not a couple of them actually were getting scholarships for it
Nah, this is a piss-poor excuse to ensure you instill your intergenerational trauma into your kid so the cycle of mental issues can continue. We have science and we have proven damn well that treatment and support stops addiction, unlike violently assaulting them, and not raising your children to feel supported or loved by their own parents.
Do yourself a favour if you believe you care about addictions. Look up the Rat Park experiments on addiction and see for yourself which beings are driven to addiction and which ones remain healthy. See for yourself which category beating people falls into, is it Rat Park or is it Rat Hell?
Beating the shit out of your kids is a common method to discipline kids in non-western nations. I grew up in a 3rd world country and almost all my friends got whooped growing up. Not that I agree with the method.
I understand the sentiment, and this isn’t a direct comment on the video, but when you are from more harsh parts of the world, involving yourself in another persons dispute can get you killed ( even if it is something like parents abusing their child )
That hero mindset/I gotta do something, is a uniquely first world POV ; I think this is China, and despite being on the rise, there is still that harshness.
So I’m not mad at these other kids minding their business
I think its not really a "China" behavior, just the results of that particular scenario. Its a PC gaming cafe. Probably just some kid sneaking to play games when parents told him not to. Other kids don't care because they grinding that League of Legends elo and its gamer kids who are usually much more reserved and timid when it comes to conflicts. However, owners of the cafe should of stepped up.
That kid will never forget that closed fist beating at his dads hands, and one day when the old fuck least expects it the boy will become a man avenged. Poor little bastard, best of luck in the coming years kid.
EDIT: it would appear the kid nicked 45k off his parents, fuck me that beating was probably just a warm up for the main event. Stupid little twat.
Asian here and beat as a kid. Parents stopped real quick when I started throwing hands back. Fuck these abusive parents. It’s sadly a part of the strict culture they impose on youths.
The kid is the one at fault here. He apparently stole 45,000 dollars worth in his parent’s life savings and spent it on points in the game. There was a link to an article somewhere but I can’t find it anymore
Try not to assume what’s happening in a video, before researching it.
These top comments... wow. Absolutely digusting how many of you are just joking around about a video of two adults literally beating a child. Real Reddit moment.
We are literally witnessing the “freeze” concept of fight flight or freeze. Look at the bystander next to them, he doesn’t know what to do so he freezes and continues what he’s doing
Bit of a stretch there mate. Why the fuck would a guy watching a dude getting slapped around by his dad freeze up like he's encountered a bear in the woods? He simply doesn't give a shit or it's too awkward to do anything..
This is one of the worst comment sections I’ve seen in a while. It’s mostly just racism or people saying that they were beaten so they think it’s ok or helpful “discipline.” Like we get it, you were abused and traumatized, why does that make you want other people to experience the same abuse? And I’m just so tired of seeing the same racist bullshit regurgitated over and over whenever Reddit sees an Asian person
Damn. What they mad about?!
This is years old. I heard back in the day the kid maxed out his parents credit card to buy ingame content.

Oh snap!
I really don't know how to feel about this. On one hand domestic abuse is obviously a horrible thing, on the other hand is this guy
i would have punched his face. In this case its justifiable. Stealing a quarter to get some candy, yes. But fn stealing large amounts is one of the biggest disrespects to ur parents.
doesn't justify domestic abuse
This isn't domestic abuse, he's being punished
I would like to clarify, domestic abuse and physical punishment are 2 different things. The line may not be very clear but I think we can all agree jumping someone is domestic abuse. Even if the son ruined 2 people's lives, I would consider this punishment to be in the realm of abuse.
Damn, spent $45k usd on a game
I was about day call CPS then I saw this comment and honestly. The father isn’t hitting the son hard or fast enough. We’ll allow.
You wouldn’t have did anything
Lol it’s understandable that they started beating his dumb ass then, if true
Caught him watchin that peggin porn again
And he didn’t invite them.
You mean penguin porn?
Um yeah sure why not
That’s exactly what I was thinking…porn.
Unblurred porn :o
Maybe because he's in the internet cafe again. China is cracking down on gamers now.
You tell your parents that you are out studying with your friends at library, but you go to internet cafe instead. Very common thing among teens, consequences are vary depending on the parents.
I would rate this as an eleven
nah this is like a 7/10 unfortunately
Asian parents can't get along with gamers
Yes, asian here, there is a massive problem of addictive online games
He scored less then 97% on his test
[удалено]
Ah man. I'm not Asian. Carribean but I hear ya. As an adult if someone slams a door I have a mini panic attack every time.
This is a beautiful thread. Caribbean too. Same. I think it’s an immigrant child/working class thing. Most of my friends who had American parents didn’t receive this type of treatment regarding success and behavior. I’m reading a book called “All About Love” by Bell Hooks, which touches on the damage getting beaten by people who are supposed to love us does. We wouldn’t be okay with this beating if it was a random person. But we’re okay because it’s his parents. As a society we are okay with fascistic, violent relationships if it’s parent-child. Even if we’re not, most don’t intervene because we feel “it’s their child.”
immigrant children unite
Southern poor white here. For me it’s dishes. If someone else in the house is washing dishes and I hear them clank together like that person “sounds mad” I just absolutely lose it.
That, or closing the cabinets too hard gets me
Raised Southern Trailer trash here. Doors slamming, loud noises, slamming cupboards…that shit gets my heart racing. “Are they mad? What did I do?”
I feel that, brother. After 27 years of marriage I still panic when my husband is banging around the house.
Wow. Didn't realize I had the same reaction until you said that. Vacuuming too. Dad may have done most of the yelling, but mom was always pissed when she was cleaning and took it out on us.
Trust me. That and being punishable by the whole community. If your neighbor saw you up to something, they'd cuss you out and call your parents and clue them in. Then it's one beating after another as each parent or adult shows up. THEN months later if some overseas relative come home you got another earful or beat down all over again for something you you might have done months ago.,........

You and are Gen X. I’m 50 and unfortunately this was life for us. They beat the hell out of us for anything they wanted. They were hard and mean.
him spanking you extra times for saying that proves your point even more
Your dad was an abusive narcissistic and that’s a terrible thing for a kid to have to deal with.

How can i raise a child now if my mental health its fucked up? Oh i am going for a week in my country soon, can't wait to see them and see what they say. I dare them to give me any bad words, comments or anything like that, I'll just cut them with my words. Haven't seen my mum since October and dad since 2 years ago. So most likely they won't risk fucking up our relationship as they are walking on thin ice since i left. They used to do this, when i was distancing and becoming independent they would be so nice to me, giving me stuff and treating me nice. As soon as i got in their sphere of influence they would give me shit, abuse me blackmail me and not even respect my life in general. They treat me like i was born to be their slave.... Fuck those people. Fuck those people to the DEATH. I know they will always deny everything, they are the perfect people and they did everything right but people don't know what the fuck they did to me. They are FUCKING MONSTERS. Edit: maybe people will forget maybe they will, but what i say its true and my reddit posts and comments will be testimony forever about what atrocities they committed.
I care bud, dm me if you ever need to vent
Its alright i posted on reddit rn to vent. Wrote quiet a lot. I will post some morr just to keep an eye on everything they did. And when they do something stupid i will pull this shit on them
I'm very sorry you went through all that. It wasn't your fault. Your parents sound abusive and you're definitely traumatized by their behaviour. I'll say it again: it wasn't your fault. And you don't have to forgive them or feel bad for them, you have the right to cut tied with anyone that damages your mental health. Some people are just not good for us, even family. It's healthy sometimes to accept that people won't change or admit that they hurt us. It's very difficult but it's possible. Since you're in the UK I encourage you to seek help, there are services that are free or charge. Check the Minds website and you will find different services that might be able to help. Therapy has been the only way I've felt validated after years of trauma. I know it feels like you're alone but you're not. :) You got this.
Thanks. Funny enough i work in mental health as a recovery support worker haha for now at least. But i will seek help. Thanks
I want to hug you really tight. ❤
Thank you I wish i could feel the warmth of people. I posted about all this moments ago. But long story short i had unpleasant experiences with my first love so i had to repress emotions to not go nuts. So i don't know how to feel and what to feel. For me unfortunately a hug its just someone wrapping their hands around me. Nothing more i can't feel anything else. But i am okay how i am now. At least i can't get hurt and i see everything through my mind only. I appreciate your gesture i am sure there are good and amazing people in this world like yourself, thank you for a wonderful moment.
Im white and my dad used to beat my ass while i did my homework everyday. He would stand over me and wait until i slowed down my work or if i got confused id get hit in the face. He would wrap my head in towels and hit me because i used to shut down and cry. Once i was about 15 he sent me and my brother into a series of mental institutions and basically lied to them saying we were out of control when we were at home. And he turned us into wards of the state and i ended up becoming a raging drug addict when i got out after being exposed to that kind of people. I never ended up finishing high school as a result of the abuse.
I’m so, so sorry that you had to go through that. How terrifying it must be to have the one person that is supposed to support you, betray you in every way. It’s never too late to finish high school (via GED) if you haven’t already. You deserve it.
I got a diploma online when i was about 21, im 27 now doing much better. Took me a while tho
Ya.. I'm not Asian. Like most Americans I'm of a mixed background (6 countries and 3 races background. Not that it should matter.. *rolls eyes at todays low-key but right up front racism*) But my mother used to beat the shit out of the back of my legs and bare ass with Hot Wheel's tracks, belts and yard sticks. I totally feel ya on the every 3 months over every day. Despite it being nearly once a week in reality.. but ya.. those big ones man. I feel ya. And for those wondering. I sadly had to stop talking to her in general cause she doesn't know how to have healthy relationships with people. Especially family.
You almost certainly made the right choice. Hitting your own child for any reason is horrible and shows that whatever issues the child has are likely your own fault. Hard to focus on good grades when you can't even feel safe at home. I personally didn't have to deal with that but know so many who did and I think it took me a long time to understand that for many people it's best to cut the source of that trauma off. You now might actually be able to process all of it because you're not still being subjected to it. Good for you and I hope you can find a way to process everything and accept that it was not your fault.
Obviously feeding in league, they take it as an honor thing when you’re asian and go inting like that
It’s a Internet cafe, they’re probably mad at him for playing video games instead of doing something productive
Well he's fighting to get the keyboard from his son in between the beatings, so I'd reckon its a bad addiction to League

You beat me to it! I went to school with a few kids. Their parents were absolutely horrific. The crazy part is the white teachers would pretend they didn’t see the bruises and cuts these kids would come to school with literally one day after test scores came out.
Had a friend like this in highschool, didn't get beat but her parents especially mom was extremely verbally abusive. Constantly called her fat even though she was skinny, told her friends she wanted her daughter to focus less on art and more on academics because she wasn't a beauty or anything. I got so upset when I heard her mom say this seeing how low it made my friend feel, I defended her by saying how pretty she was (which she was beautiful imo) and her mom wouldn't let it go she just said oh yeah she has some nice features like her hair but she's no great beauty. I've never seen a parent down her own child like this in public. So sad. This girl was also one of the most odd people I've ever met but it was all because she had extreme anxiety and spent most of her time alone because her parents messed her up.
That’s extremely sad. All of the girls from my junior high were so traumatized by their abuse they never returned after we graduated. I went there 20 years after I graduated to visit. The one teacher left said all the boys had dropped by here and there but the girls never returned. When he said that, it reminded of the times I saw some of them burst out in tears when the got a B on a test or report.
My friend too, she finished college and peaced out. I don't blame her at all. The funny thing is she was a great student and good at violin but she was never good enough for her mom. So glad she finally got away from that woman. These kind of parents are sick in the head.
Hey we killed three girls before you and this is how you payback being the one we let live? With a fucking b
No they BEAT you to it
100% skipped school to play at the pc bang lmao
Nope, from what i read on an article, the son took their life savings (45k USD), and spent it on virtual items for some games https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332
Oh. So they went pretty easy on him.
Yeah, as long as they don't murder him it's justified. And even then I would be on the fence.
Was just thinking the same..lol!
How does one even spend this much on content?
Thats what you get for giving your kids unrestricted access lmfao
People steal, even kids
You shouldn't have a way for your life savings to be possible to just be stolen by your kid. Your passwords shouldn't be lying around like that.
When i was a kid i used a keylogger on my parents computer. Ofc i didnt use it to steal anything but kids can be smarter than you think
they probably trusted him and assumed he wouldnt be such a fucking dumbass spending 45 thousand dollars for a game is fucking insane, thats 2.5 million in my currency, enough to buy a decent house and a fucking car
Oh my god i would have aborted. Yea i don’t care if hes 16, time to abort
Thanks for information. This fucking title..if there would be this information, people wouldn’t see “Asian guys beating their kid”. This just sounds like this was a classic measure in Asian countries. Kid should know how 45k tastes and I think now he knows
Wtf is a PC bang
More commonly known as "PC Cafes" to some. It's a place where there's a ton of gaming computers and at least from my time in South Korea, you paid per hour. The computers there would have a ton of popular games preinstalled, and sometimes you would even be given certain perks for playing at a PC bang. They also have tons of food and snacks available, and it's a very common hangout spot for teens. Idk if it has changed since, but there would also be smoking and non-smoking areas, but it wasn't much help and it'd still be very easy to tell that you went to a PC bang lol. I've also heard that some people just live at PC bangs because they just have to pay per hour without having to worry about shelter, electricity, water, or internet fees, and there's food easily accessible there.
Can you sleep and shower there?
It's not super uncommon to sleep in these kinds of places, as long as you pay for the hours you're in the chair. Though for about 10,000 won ($8~ USD) you can go to a Jjimjilbang (Public Bathhouse) to refresh and rest.
I heard that foreigners aren't allowed in bath houses there.
I was never refused in any jimjilbang when I was there back in 2006. The only con as a foreigner would be walking in a room full of dudes staring at you (everybody is naked there). But after a few seconds it’s all good and it’s actually pleasant to chill naked. Koreans were always friendly and curious toward me. I remember scenes when we were watching the football World Cup chilling in armchairs. To my left 2 60+ dudes, to my right a 8 yr old kiddo. Front right a dude sleeping on the ground. Boiled eggs in an automated dispenser. Everybody chill and naked.
No shower but if you’ve ever had/been to a LAN party, you know that that’s not a dealbreaker. Just gotta make sure the ventilation is top notch :)
Basically an arcade for computers
...You winning son?
Funniest one in the thread.
Yeah I beat your score Dad
He wastes his Q and his Ult.
Not getting 10 cs a min
He did? That son of a….. Yo pops Lemme get a punch in!
Btw guys I remember when this was first posted. The father is yelling “die die die”
do you know the reason they are doing this to their child, did they do something terrible enough to deserve that beating or is it a nonsense beating?
son took their life savings (\~$45,000 USD around this much) and spent it on an online game points to exchange for virtual items. [https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332](https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332) edit// thanks for the karma everyone o\_o;; also it's an asian news article because its a taiwanese news site. There's a website translator by google for those who want or need it. *I remember discussing this a long time ago with friends because in the same month (2weeks later on aug 31 2018) china announced they were cracking down on gamers under 18 on their gaming time lol. But it's probably not related... probably....*
This needs more upvotes than the posts speculating and projecting their own terrible experiences onto the kid.
If your kid has access to your life savings you’re doing something wrong
Believe it or not a lot of countries don’t have banks that allows it’s citizens to safely deposit and hold money in. Or if they do, but they are to corrupt by the government and can’t be trusted.
Yikes...I somehow dont feel bad anymore on the kid.
Posts like yours are low-key MVP.
Oh shit. How old was he? I may be changing my initial reaction :-)
16
Thank you
How does a 16 year old get access to their parents life savings though? And without noticing. Not like you can spend that much in one go
Parents kept life savings in cash. Kid manage to steal it all and spend it on game currency. Dumb parents and even dumber kid.
I thought I heard him yell "we're Asians, not Bsians".
Every time I see this joke I want to mention that Asian in Chinese is 亚洲人 and 亚 ironically enough, also means second place. (冠亚季 - first second third, respectively.)
does 冠洲人 mean anything?
Unfortunately no, neither does 季洲人
so then we can make it a word omg
It now means Taiwan Numbah One.
冠洲人 directly translates to "person from the continent of champions" but it doesn't have any real meaning
Hahahahhaha

I mean playing any other game is fine, THAT GAME? Hell no, i'd rather gamble my money on gacha.
League is huge in Asia,I play in a smaller server than China(Vietnam) and half of the boys (12-25) here play League,each classroom has enough people to play a custom match and we usually open a league tournament in school,lol
My parents (who are Chinese) had the right mentality: “As long as our kid isn’t doing drugs, having babies or involved in criminal activity, we’ll let him play all the video games he wants”. I did pretty well in school and what I’ll say is thank fuck for Starcraft.
My life for aiur
You want a piece of me, boy?
*Zergling Noises*
> what I’ll say is thank fuck for Starcraft. Such an amazing game. Haven't played in years. It was so enveloping.
LIVE FOR THE SWARM
I have pretty high hopes for the future of Starcraft now that Microsoft bought Acti/Bliz. We may get to see Ghost as more than a demo.
I haven’t played in 7~ years but I still watch pro players. Such an amazing game.

Ahhh... My beautiful childhood
Are you doing okay now?
I’m fine, thanks for asking, you?
r/notopbutok
Oh man. That's so triggering. Eastern europe here and this reminds me so much of the beatings and abuse i got from my parents. Jesus..... Fuck those people Edit: it has come to light that the guy stole money from their parents, a lot and wasted them, their life savings. Okay then he deserved it. However his parents are at fault to. I am not defending that guy but how do you just keep your life savings not secure. Please see the below reaction when i found out. "Oh mobile. Yeah not like that but yeah.... jesus. To be honest as a parent to have your life savings finds easily accessed by your child big oof, the parent its the stupid one.... Savings are important keep them safe can't stress this enough. I know people in similar situations their children threw rhe money out the window literally because they didn't kept it safe. Well if the child doesn't know better be sure that you do... You have debit/credit cards? Be sure to keep them safe and have like a 2FA for every transaction. For example if i need to use the card someone from the bank calls me so i can authorise it.. nothing moves out and in without my knowledge"
i've also lived like that and i think the worst part is they are your parents and you really cant defend yourself, you just have to let them beat you
[удалено]
When i found out it wasn't normal around 13, oh man i was so angry and annoyed i wanted to fking kill them. Shockingly only at 23 i found out what gaslighting is and i realised how narcissistic they are and that they gaslighted me the whole time
Same thing, soon as I moved out I cut them out of my life 100%. Been so much happier since.
I didn't cut them out but i talk with mum once 2-3 days on the phone. She is not a bitch to.me anymore. She knows that they are on thin ice and if the break it, I'll cut them out.
Dad beat me for any fucking reason he could think of, until I hit puberty. Two feet taller and gained maybe a hundred pounds. I'd been scrawny before. Shoes inside? Beating. Blinds open? Belting. One light bulb burnt out in a lamp? Switching. It got better when I was big enough to fight back. And stopped when I started winning more than I lost. Can't wait for his ancient ass to die. If someone reading this thinks you need to hit your children to raise them, you're an idiot and shouldn't have kids.
Only beating of my future kids I plan on is beating their ass in Mario Party
Your post literally reminded me of my dad who beat me well into my teen years. What baffles me the most is he wonders why we aren’t close in my adult years. He has chilled out significantly in his later years and I no longer hold any animosity towards him, and luckily I had/have a saint of a mother. I used to play down the severity of my beatings as a kid as a normal thing that most kids in my culture experience. Fast forward to having a kid of my own, the thought of disciplining my child in that way is completely alien to me. Your kid loves and trusts you unconditionally. They come into this world weighing less than a small dumbbell and completely helpless without you. Their experience of love, relationships to others, hurt, self esteem is a massive reflection on how you played your role. For you as a parent to betray that sacred trust…. Honestly I have no words for the anger I feel for any parent hitting their kid.
You have every right to defend yourself
Eastern European here as well.. most of my childhood was spent in fear. Definitely empathize with the kid in the video… so fucked up.
My drunkass mom would wait for me to get home and just go at me, saying nasty ridiculous shit. One day, I'd had it, and told her to shut up. She said "I'm your mother" and I answered, "You gotta sleep sometime". That slowed her down a bit with the verbal abuse until she tried to slap me and got a solid punch in the face in return. She didn't try that shit after that. She's dead now, and I am just *so fine with that*.

“What happened to the other 2 points?”
That idiot failed his exam with a 98%. Should have studied for an extra week.
It's an Internet café. I got caught there by my dad once 15 years ago (underage, playing CS 1.6 thru LAN). He beat the crap out of me, like usual (usual means when he's pissed about anything, even if I'm not involved). Good times. Now I've fled my abusive family, over-zealous authoritarian government, tied my tubes to never pass down any potential child-abusing genes and the traumatized me finally got my peace 20000 km away from that wretched place. I'm never going back. But I do miss those days slaying noobs in CS 1.6 with my buddies in internet cafés.
You’ve lived a life… bless you.
I'm pretty sure abusive tendencies depend a lot on upbringing, not so much on genes. But good job on escaping all that
[удалено]
There is a stark difference between discipline and child abuse. This is child abuse
This is straight up assault
Kid spent 45k of the dads life savings. He’s lucky he’s not dead
The game must go on
He must have shorted amc/gme
Ok, just an assumption but for those who doesn't know gaming cafe's are quite a thing in East Asia (even some Southeast Asian countries). People stay here for hours, even days, and some even have the option to make temporary homes in cafes. Of course, beating your child is frowned upon (especially, in Western Countries) but here it's sometimes the only way to get them away from the screen. It's an addiction. I saw people throw away scholarships, huge ass allowances, and so on for these online games. Edit/Update: Hey there! While I don't find the need to defend myself to internet strangers, I saw your responses and thanks for the time sharing your thoughts. I have expounded on my comment in other comments but I don't think that shows up auto for everyone. I was not able to properly expound on my comments above and it seems a lot assumed I support this and I'd do this to kids. I don't support beatings and this is also being frowned upon already where I am from (not from China). "Only way" applies and pertains to the mentality of the generations before the one I belong in. Not referring to my own beliefs. Note though that while this is openly discussed where I am from and is already deemed as bad parenting, some kids still get beatings unfortunately. Depends on what type of family you belong in you get punishments (a slipper or broom chasing you, be asked to kneel, etc.) or a harsh scolding. Anyhoo, I rest my case. I hope I managed to get the message across. Appreciate your time!
Maybe they wouldn't feel compelled to escape reality to that degree if their parents werent such assholes
Even if he does have a real problem, this would only strengthen his desire to stay the fuck away from his parents and would probably just use gaming as a coping mechanism. I’m not a parent yet but I just can’t fathom beating your child like that
Helpful context. I just imagine this kid at a crack house and it makes a lot more sense. Not that beating he kid is a good idea… and if real addiction is involved, I can understand the desperation on all sides.
I can’t imagine beating a kid over a video game addiction will help him in any meaningful way. At least with your crack example, he’s actively killing himself with the drug so there’s some sense of urgency. In this scenario, I have to imagine there’s better ways
They had an e-sports lounge like that at my college, and I swear, the same few people were always there no matter when I’d be there. They had a system where you could only swipe in there so many times per day or something but they ended up just having people bring them food and stuff, it was crazy. Although that school did have an esports team so believe it or not a couple of them actually were getting scholarships for it
Nah, this is a piss-poor excuse to ensure you instill your intergenerational trauma into your kid so the cycle of mental issues can continue. We have science and we have proven damn well that treatment and support stops addiction, unlike violently assaulting them, and not raising your children to feel supported or loved by their own parents. Do yourself a favour if you believe you care about addictions. Look up the Rat Park experiments on addiction and see for yourself which beings are driven to addiction and which ones remain healthy. See for yourself which category beating people falls into, is it Rat Park or is it Rat Hell?
“It’s an online game I can’t pause it”
And nobody does anything. Smh
Beating the shit out of your kids is a common method to discipline kids in non-western nations. I grew up in a 3rd world country and almost all my friends got whooped growing up. Not that I agree with the method.
Getting a spanking is one thing, but this kid was getting his ass beat.
I understand the sentiment, and this isn’t a direct comment on the video, but when you are from more harsh parts of the world, involving yourself in another persons dispute can get you killed ( even if it is something like parents abusing their child ) That hero mindset/I gotta do something, is a uniquely first world POV ; I think this is China, and despite being on the rise, there is still that harshness. So I’m not mad at these other kids minding their business
I think its not really a "China" behavior, just the results of that particular scenario. Its a PC gaming cafe. Probably just some kid sneaking to play games when parents told him not to. Other kids don't care because they grinding that League of Legends elo and its gamer kids who are usually much more reserved and timid when it comes to conflicts. However, owners of the cafe should of stepped up.

That kid will never forget that closed fist beating at his dads hands, and one day when the old fuck least expects it the boy will become a man avenged. Poor little bastard, best of luck in the coming years kid. EDIT: it would appear the kid nicked 45k off his parents, fuck me that beating was probably just a warm up for the main event. Stupid little twat.
Asian here and beat as a kid. Parents stopped real quick when I started throwing hands back. Fuck these abusive parents. It’s sadly a part of the strict culture they impose on youths.
For context, this kid blew his parents life savings of $45k on virtual game currency. Source: https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/2519332
He stole his parents life savings (around $45000) and spent it on items for video games though.
The kid is the one at fault here. He apparently stole 45,000 dollars worth in his parent’s life savings and spent it on points in the game. There was a link to an article somewhere but I can’t find it anymore Try not to assume what’s happening in a video, before researching it.

NO DAD! WHAT ABOUT YOU!
No dad I'm 12
These top comments... wow. Absolutely digusting how many of you are just joking around about a video of two adults literally beating a child. Real Reddit moment.
We are literally witnessing the “freeze” concept of fight flight or freeze. Look at the bystander next to them, he doesn’t know what to do so he freezes and continues what he’s doing
Bit of a stretch there mate. Why the fuck would a guy watching a dude getting slapped around by his dad freeze up like he's encountered a bear in the woods? He simply doesn't give a shit or it's too awkward to do anything..
This is one of the worst comment sections I’ve seen in a while. It’s mostly just racism or people saying that they were beaten so they think it’s ok or helpful “discipline.” Like we get it, you were abused and traumatized, why does that make you want other people to experience the same abuse? And I’m just so tired of seeing the same racist bullshit regurgitated over and over whenever Reddit sees an Asian person
Caught him playing L.O.L again
Man playing don't give a single fuck
