China news
 (ANI)Shanghai,  : In a bid to prevent Internet addiction of their children,
Chinese parents are turning towards electro-shock therapy at a clinic
that claims they will be "reborn" free of the obsession.

However,
the harsh methods used by the clinic have caused an outcry among 3000
teenagers, who have been subjected to this odd treatment, The Sunday
Times reports.

At Dr Yang Yonxin's clinic, there are at least 100 young inmates.

Their
parents have sent them to the treatment centre in Shandong province,
eastern China, because they have become hyperactive and uncontrollable.

Patients
are forbidden to speak about anything except their struggle to escape
the addiction. The boy or girl is made to write a confession and kneel
in front of his or her parents.

The clinic has 86 rules. The
regulations prescribe electric shocks as punishment for "misdeeds" such
as eating chocolate and locking the bathroom door.

Former patients, writing online, claim the shocks, some severe, were administered continuously.
