At 1:44 pm today (6th), the police received a report from a passer-by that a 10-year-old boy was found outside Hung Fook Building, 25 Tung Lok Street, Yuen Long. He was naked at the time and suspected of being treated inappropriately.
Police officers arrived at the scene and conducted preliminary investigations. It was suspected that a 47-year-old woman surnamed Peng had assaulted her son with an electrical wire. The case was temporarily classified as child abuse. Peng was arrested in connection with the case and the case was handed over to the Yuen Long Police District Criminal Investigation Team for follow-up.
The boy injured his foot and was sent to Pok Oi Hospital for examination before being transferred to Tuen Mun Hospital for treatment.
Suspected related footage circulated on the Internet. Outside a meat roasting shop in Yuen Long, a boy was naked and his lower body was covered with a green towel. A woman suspected of being involved in the case was scolded by the neighbourhood. Someone also accused her of beating the boy. "He bleeds again, and blood is bleeding from underneath." "Are you perverted?" She retorted, "When did I beat him?"
The reporter came to the scene to learn about the incident. There were various opinions about the incident. Some neighbours said that the boy walked down the street without wearing any clothes after taking a bath. His mother immediately followed. A staff member of the roasting shop found the boy naked and covered the boy's lower body with a towel.
Sources at the scene stated that Mrs. Peng often picked up styrofoam and paper in a nearby garbage room. Some cleaners said that the boy involved "has some elves" and often gets lost and needs help from the neighbourhood.
