"I was very emotional and only wanted to take him to his parents for an argument."

A man surnamed Qu said this when explaining the reason why he and his three friends tried to force a 10-year-old boy into his car at the gate of the Liangxiang Primary School in Fangshan district and attempted to drive away. Witnesses said that the boy was first knocked down to the ground and then dragged into a car by a man. A security guard at the school rushed to the front of the car to stop them and during his argument with the four men, the boy rolled down the car's back window, jumped out and escaped into the school. Qu claimed that he only wanted to take the boy to meet his parents because he got angry after learning that his daughter, a schoolmate of the boy, was often bullied by the boy. Local police are investigating the case. (Source: The Beijing Times)
