Intellectually disabled boy has no money for medical treatment and is locked up for three years, chained with dogs as his neighbors

In Erlongshan Village, Bin County, Harbin City, a 12-year-old boy was locked in a crude wooden shed by an iron chain for nearly three years without any clothing. Outside the shed is a doghouse. The person who locked the child was his own uncle, who explained that the child cannot speak and is mentally disabled. If they unchain him, he would run away and the family could not keep an eye on him all the time. The family also consulted with the hospital, but the annual cost would be about 100,000 yuan. The exorbitant fee stopped the Cai family from further action.
