The principle of children's best interests should be observed in cases of child protection. Kun Kun was hurt again when the video was made. If the maker of the video really wants to help the child, he should have done it in a way that doesn't hurt him."

Bo Wei, a youth development researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that people should not seek the public's sympathy by hurting children, Beijing Evening News reported on Sunday. Media exposed that the video in which some 200 residents - including Kun Kun's grandfather - signed a petition this month to expel the 8-year-old HIV-positive boy from their village in Nanchong, Sichuan province, had been staged, according to the report.
