Zamboanga City man puts 11-year-son in sack, hangs it up for more than 8 hours

We’re all for parents being firm with their misbehaving kids — but excessive cruelty is not our thing.

Police in Zmboanga City are now hunting down a man who placed his 11-year-old son in a sack and hung it up at their house.

GMA News’ 24 Oras revealed that the man had gotten mad because his son was stubborn and was always going out of the house. However, neighbors became concerned about the child’s condition after they noticed that he had been inside the sack for more than eight hours.

The child’s father fled from their house once he found out that their neighbors had gotten in touch with the police. The man faces a complaint for child abuse.
