13-Year-Old Boy Beaten by Police When He Went to the Public Security Bureau to Look for His Mother

On September 19th, 2006, practitioner Ms. Yang Zhonghong from Lushuihe Town, Fusong County, Baishan City, Jilin Province, was arrested when she was explaining the facts about Falun Dafa to policeman Liang's wife, who reported her. Ms. Yang was detained in Fusong County. The authorities tied her to an iron chair¹ to torture her.

On October 16th at around 5:00 a.m., Ms. Yang Zhonghong's 13-year-old son, Sheng Wei, borrowed 20 yuan², carried his three-year-old sister,Yangyang, and went to the bus station to take the bus to look for his mother. On the way he asked people for directions to the Fusong Public Security Bureau. He asked the police there for his mother. The police responded by hitting and kicking him and stepping on his face with their shoes. His face was badly wounded and swollen, his ears started to ring, and the sleeve of his sweater was torn. He fainted as a result of the assault but came to after a while.

In order to cover up their crime, the police took Sheng Wei to the store to fix his clothes. Then four officers carried the boy by his arms and legs to the police car and took him home.

In the police car, one policeman grabbed Wei by the hair and yanked out a fistful, cursing at the young boy. In great pain, Wei said, "I have no mother now, and I cannot find my father. No one is taking care of us, and we have no food at home, yet you still hit me. I don't feel like living any more."

The second day, Sheng Wei endured the extreme pain and went to the Fusong Public Security Bureau again, because he wanted to see his mother. In the hallway, he cried out loudly and told everyone the whole episode about how he was beaten, but no one in the entire Public Security Bureau showed any concern about him. Later on, four officers carried him to the bus station, forced him into the bus, and sent him home.
