A mother from Wenzhou in eastern China has uploaded a photo of her son's bare bottom on the popular social networking service WeChat as a punishment for copying homework from his classmates, reports Guangzhou's Yangcheng Evening News.
The Lins, a family of three, frequently chat with each other through the text and voice messaging service, which boasts 195 million active users. When the boy's mother was informed by her son's elementary school teacher that his homework was uncannily similar to that of his classmates, she decided on a novel twist on the idea of corporal punishment. Rather than cane his behind, she posted it online.
Unbeknownst to the boy, his mother took a photo of him while he was taking a shower and uploaded it to WeChat, where all his friends could see it. "This little boy is copying homework. I posted this photo to warn him. His backside is showing this time, but the front will be next if he does it again," said the post accompanying the photo.
The boy did not respond to his mother's post. Asked if there have been any further infractions, the mother said her son seems to have learned his lesson.
