Teen’s death spurs parenting debate in China.

Footage of a 17-year-old boy jumping to his death from a high bridge in Shanghai last week has sparked heated debate among internet users, with many criticising the standard of Chinese parenting.Before he jumped, he had been in the back seat of a white car being driven by his mother, who suddenly stopped the vehicle on the bridge. The video shows the mother standing next to the car, apparently talking to her son inside.

The mother, who was not named in the report, said she had criticised her son, a student at a technical school in the city, over a conflict with his classmates before he committed suicide.

No matter how deeply aggrieved I feel, my mother can always figure out my problems. I can’t deny her love for me, but I also can’t deny that her misguided way of educating me brought me much harm when I was young.”

Li Yinuo, chief representative of the Beijing office of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, wrote on WeChat, a mobile social media app: “Behind this short video, we can imagine unheard calls for many years, endless stifling depression and curbed emotions.”“Children today are getting weaker and weaker. Teachers can’t say a bad word to them and at home, parents dare not criticise them. What can they do when they grow up?” an internet user wrote on Weibo.
