Inside China's boot-camps for internet addicted teenagers - Daily Mail

Chinese internet addicts who spend up to 17 hours online and even wear nappies so they do not have to take toilet breaks are being sent to rehab boot camps to rid them of their dependency. Internet addiction is considered a clinical disorder in China, with an increasing number of young people choosing to ignore their studies, social lives and family to surf the web or play online games. Parents who have watched their children's obsession spiral out of control are now willing to fork out $9,000 to send them to military style camps like Bejjing's Daxing Internet Addiction Treatment Centre where they spend at least six months learning how to appreciate life beyond their screens. Tao Ran claims to have cured 75 per cent of his patients - aged between 13 and 26 - using medication (left), military fitness regimes (top right), therapy and solitary confinement.
