The shocked daughter reported her parents to the police after running away from home.
According to the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, A (20), a junior at a university in China, asked the Beijing Police Department for help on the 26th, saying he was suffering from trauma due to his parents' repressive behavior.
She claimed that her parents had installed surveillance cameras in her bedroom, hitting her every time she made a mistake and throwing her phone on the floor.
In response, she planned to work part-time in Beijing to save money and become independent from her parents.
After finally leaving the house, she said she wanted to inform the police in advance that she was safe because she thought her parents might report her disappearance and make a fuss.
After consoling her, police contacted their parents and asked them to give their adult children more space and respect them.
In response, the parents promised to remove the surveillance camera, and A returned home.
As the news spread, online responded critically, saying "Parents' behavior is excessive."
Netizens are saying, "It's so terrible. I can't believe I have no privacy at all even though I'm 20 years old.""Kids are independent individuals, not the property of their parents.", "Even prisons respect people's privacy more than this", Comments such as "'Going to the police to avoid trouble is a wise thing to do.'"
