A boy in Shanghai has formulated a chemical to resist getting beaten up by his parents.

The 6-year-old has spent 2 hours in the toilet preparing a so-called "medicament" which he believes can give one wrinkles.

The concoction consists of shampoo, bath foam, soap and vinegar. He says his parents often beat him up and he wants to take revenge. If his parents beat him next time, he would spray the mixture on them and make them break out into a rash.

Psychologists have asked the parents to adopt a more soft and understanding approach toward the child.
