Chinese Boy Chained to Lamppost

The New York Daily News prints one of the most shocking photos I’ve seen in this morning’s paper. It’s of a two-year-old Chinese boy chained to a lamppost. His pedicab driver father says he couldn’t afford childcare and didn’t want anyone to kidnap the boy while he and his wife worked nearby.
The Guardian also ran the picture with a longer article about the family, whose four-year-old daughter was kidnapped a few weeks ago. The paper says publicity from the shocking photo has led a Beijing kindergarten to offer free care for the boy.
