兩刀手落網警拘賢仔繼母

If this is true, then... W-T-F!!! 戲情真係峰迴路轉... (although also very much like your average soap drama... over-dramatic and very unbelievable...)

[summary: about a week ago a 7 year old kid was attacked by two men wielding huge knives on his way home from cram school. He was chopped so badly his right arm was nearly gone - they deliberately aimed at the arm, seemingly with a goal to make him disabled for life. Because of the style of attack attention was turned towards triad activity, probably revenge or money-lending problems with the family. Yesterday the police made a few arrests and now it seemed confirmed that it's a family problem - the father has met a new woman, his second wife (the kid's step-mum) was worried that he'd abandon her and her son, and so hired people to attack her step-son.]

That's deeply disturbing.

There are some very scary people in this world...

Yep. I read it on the paper the other day. It's ridiculous, and quite scary! I was speechless when I found out it was the step mum. Eww. Poor kid. It seems he's the center of attention these days, what with Kelly paying him a visit in the hospital.

I'm actually worried if he'll have problems growing up.

Yeah... seems like the family's all screwed, I wonder if anybody will be there to teach him why this has happened and what he can learn from it, and why all the people are being so nice to him and if he can share all his gifts with the other children in hospital, etc. It'd be terrible if he doesn't understand at all >_<
