Published on Thursday, Nov. 05, 2009 1:50AM EST China's Ministry of Health has banned the use of physical punishment to wean teens off the net, months after a boy was beaten to death at an Internet boot camp. Chinese parents have turned to more than 200 organizations offering treatment for Internet “disorders” as the government increasingly warns of unhealthy Internet habits among the young. Many of the camps are imbued with a military atmosphere. Patients are forced to replace hours in front of the computer with arduous physical drills or even more extreme “treatments”.
