Rush to save boy hurt in workshop prank

AN ambulance is rushing all the way from Beijing to a small city in Shandong Province today to save a boy from death after his intestines were punctured by compressed air from a pump nozzle forcibly inserted into his anus by two bullies.

The ambulance will bring Du Chuanwang, 13, to a well-equipped Beijing hospital for emergency treatment after the boy developed skin necrosis and suffered multiple organ failures. He woke up three days ago after being in a coma for eight days.

Du, a child apprentice in an auto repair shop in Dezhou City, fell victim to the prank of two elder workers. His intestines were punctured in more than 20 places and he also sustained multiple organ injuries.

The boy underwent surgeries in a hospital in Dezhou but his condition is deteriorating. Doctors are afraid that he might suffer from septicemia due to skin necrosis and called for help to transfer him to Beijing Bayi Children Hospital.

Angel Mom Foundation, a subsidiary of the China Children Charity Aid Foundation, has raised 140,000 yuan (US$21,980) for the boy's medical treatment in Beijing, it said on its official website.

Police have arrested the two workers, who said they had no more money after paying the family about 100,000 yuan.
