Dad YONG TSUI has been accused of trying to sell his terrified 8-year-old son at a "slave auction." This POS literally had this boy chained to a lamppost like some sort of dog. Seems to be another case of an "overwhelmed" single dad, since the boy's mother died three years ago.

Child slave auction
A father staged a modern day slave auction after chaining his son to a lamppost and taking bids from strangers to take the terrified eight-year-old off his hands.
Dad Yong Tsui had put up a small table with a sign on it giving the youngster's age, name, and his capacity for hard work.
But when bidders began to ask how little he could eat, furious passers by turned on the auction and attacked Fai's father to stop the sale in Wuhan, central China.
Police - who now have the boy in care - say dad Yong told them the boy's mother had died three years ago and he could no longer afford to raise him.
"He has no job, no home and no money. He says he wasn't interested in the money, just finding a home for the boy," said one officer.
Yong Tsui said he had read how another youngster, Cheng Jindan, aged two, had been offered day care after being kept in chains while his dad worked as a rickshaw driver and his handicapped mum scavenged for rubbish.
But now Jindan has become a pupil at a local nursery in the Chinese capital Beijing thanks to the generosity of those who read about his plight.
Shocking pictures of Jindan padlocked to a lamppost horrified people around the world.
The youngster was locked up in the street to keep him safe after his older sister Jinhong was snatched by kidnappers while playing with friends.
Child abduction is rife in China where the victims frequently end up in forced labour or the vice industry.
