Chinese Man Lives in Cage

If he's not a werewolf, and he doesn't have wicked step parents, what is it that causes 23 year old Wei Yun to be locked in a wooden cage all day? Born with both physical and mental problems, Yun could neither stand nor walk since birth. One day during his youth, Yun was crawling around unattended, and knocked over a pot of boiling water, causing him nearly fatal injuries. Terrified Yun would do something else to harm himself while left by himself, Yun's parents locked him in a wooden cage in his bedroom, so that they can go out and work and provide for the family. He has been there ever since. Yun's parents say it was difficult to make this decision for their son, but it was for his own safety. And he doesn't look like he minds it all that much, so, whatever works I guess.

  3. Lol....what the....this is messed up. Whether they admit it or not. How can he see the world and interact with other people even if he has both physical and mental problems. This is a person, not an animal! Child services should get involved because this is messed. Poor guy :(
