Chinese social media has blown up over a horrific video showing a mother of eight chained by her neck to the wall in a dirty home, apparently because of “mental issues”. Since the video first emerged on January 26, Chinese authorities have released few details on the woman’s fate.
In the video, the woman looks haggard and her hair hangs lankly. She stands in the doorway of a shack made out of brick that opens up to the exterior. Despite the January cold, she only wears a light sweater.
