Neglect Your Father? Go Directly To Jail
A man surnamed Wang who refused to pay his father’s living expenses has been jailed for 15 days in the city of Shaoguan, Guangdong Province.
He was also ordered to fulfill his obligations to look after his father after his release.
When Wang’s father took him to court earlier this year, the court ruled in favor of his father, but Wang ignored the ruling. The next step was jail.
Wang has the dubious distinction of being Shaoguan’s first person to be jailed for refusing to look after his father.
