Overview

In October 2025, a viral video showed a young boy crawling naked on all fours near a camper van at a highway rest stop in Sichuan Province.


Local police claimed that this was part of “natural parenting,” which sparked a nationwide online debate and raised serious questions about child neglect and welfare.

 

Since then, countless calls, emails, and letters have been sent to different levels of government in China. After around 20 days of investigation, local authorities stated that the boy was unharmed, refused to open a child abuse case, and allowed him to remain in the custody of his parents.

Our Call for Action

We firmly reject the police’s conclusion and demand that immediate and proper action be taken to guarantee the safety of the child. We also call for accountability and transparency in handling this case, as no child should be left unprotected under the name of “parenting.”
