Tipsters offered money for reporting abnormal behaviors

A district in Chengdu, Sichuan province, is offering money to people who report other people exhibiting "abnormal" behavior.

The Shuangliu district health and family planning commission said in a micro blog post that the 50 yuan ($7) award would be increased by 300 yuan if the person was diagnosed as mentally ill.

The abnormal behaviors listed include talking nonsense, brawling, smashing objects, beating people without any reason and even doing nothing or lying in bed all day.
