Unusual Signs
Xiao Chen, a sixth-grade student living in Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. Throughout his summer vacation, his parents noticed that Xiao wasn’t traveling or playing sports; he didn’t even step outside the house. Initially, they thought their son was just lazy and liked to sleep in until the afternoon, so they didn’t say anything. However, this situation continued for several days in a row, leading the parents to feel something was off.
When they suddenly checked their son’s phone and tablet, Xiao Chen’s father was shocked and horrified to discover something he had never imagined. The reason the 11-year-old boy was sleeping all day was that he had been talking all night with a female streamer.
Notably, the topics discussed between the 11-year-old boy and the female streamer were 18+.
The female streamer used suggestive language, sent enticing videos, and both exchanged sensitive images with each other. Previously, the boy had even stolen money from his parents to donate 10,000 yuan (over 35 million VND) to her without his parents knowing.
Once they calmed down, Xiao Chen’s parents reported the incident to the police.
It is known that the female streamer, known as Anchor Zhou, is 41 years old. When she goes live, she uses beauty filters to appear younger and has a sexy figure.
The People’s Court of Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong, recently adjudicated the case. The female streamer was sentenced to three years in prison for child sexual abuse, even though there was no direct physical contact with the boy. The online community agrees that while the form of sensitive conversation on the Internet differs from traditional child sexual abuse, the invasive impact it causes is equally serious.
Additionally, the fact that the 11-year-old boy was able to go online, download software to watch streams, and even donate to the female streamer has prompted adults to reconsider supervision processes, requiring closer attention before facing unintended consequences.
