Father tethers two-year-old after losing his daughter

An unlicensed motorbike taxi driver who put his two-year-old son on a chain outside a shopping mall while he was at work in Fangshan district has refused to accept aid from the local government.

The 42-year-old father, Chen Chuanliu, says he lost his four-year-old daughter last month and the extreme measure was the only way to keep his son safe.

Since Friday, he has been tethering the boy so he can leave to pick up customers.
