Fourteen young detainees overcame their guard and fled a boot camp regime of physical training and psychological treatment designed to cure their addiction \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to the internet.<\/p>\n
The group, aged 15 to 22, staged their mass breakout by grabbing a duty supervisor when he was in bed and immobilising him in his quilt.<\/p>\n
He shouted for help and they apologised before tying him up. They then made their way in groups of three to the home town of the leader of the group.<\/p>\n
The addicts made their break from the Huai\u00e2\u20ac\u2122an Internet Addiction Treatment Centre in eastern Jiangsu province last Wednesday, complaining that they could no longer endure its \u00e2\u20ac\u0153monotonous work and intensive training\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

Can you still believe it?<\/p>\n
What happened to personal responsibility? \u00c2\u00a0Work Ethics?<\/p>\n
Heck, I would be disconnecting the wireless & wired routers, and taking them to work with me… \u00c2\u00a0Let’s see Johnny get online then…<\/p>\n
I do not like the way the chinese government is dealing with this, but I don’t think the parents are living up to their own personal responsibility in managing their own children. \u00c2\u00a0They are the parents, let them PARENT.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
