US media say an addiction treatment center in East China, over more than 6,000 Internet addiction (mostly young people) is not only being deprived of access to the Internet, and received electric shock treatment. This treatment center in Shandong province in September last year on the newspaper, because of its treatment of a patient in retaliation for allegedly suffered during the camp to force quit addiction abuse, killed his mother. Now, China is trying to manage such treatment camp.

United States the New York Times, January 16, send their children to these places, is for hours playing online games to their children feel angry Chinese parents habits means of last resort.

The Government drafted a Bill would crack down on these camps the most egregious behavior, including electric shocks and other forms of corporal punishment. Medical experts for the recently posted on the Chinese news media welcomed the Bill, saying it is the first step to curb the industry scandal.

"This is a very important measure to protect young children," addiction treatment Center said Tao ran, Director of General Hospital of Beijing military region.

Tao said, many Chinese parents believe that shock treatment effect is short-lived. But, he said, he returned several such camps have received electric shock treatment of adolescents, see signs of lasting psychological trauma.

"They do not speak, afraid of meeting people, do not want to go out," says when he talks about meeting with the young people. "Even to hear words like hospital and doctors, or panic. ”

Said Qu Xinjiu, a Professor of China University of law, a concept which is very popular in China, have Supreme jurisdiction that parents of a child, even the police have no right to interfere in domestic affairs. "Although thought to do was wrong, many parents still send their children to receive shock therapy, reason is here. ”

Data about the number and growth of Internet addiction treatment camps in China lack, but their treatment over the past few years has been a cause of concern.

Reports said the law would also limit the minors a day at home or in Internet cafes playing online games all the time. Providing this type of game producers will be forced to take measures to monitor and restrict its use, such as requiring the player to real name registration. Time not specifically allowed by the Act, but from midnight to 8 in the morning, minors were not allowed to play online games at any time.

Game providers and Internet cafes will comply with the law is punishable by a fine, might also be shut down by the Government.

Media reported that lawmakers will seek the views of the public on the draft law, due to the beginning of February. But the report did not say when it might be implemented.

In 2009, China's Ministry of Health issued a document against electroshock as treatment for Internet addiction. In 2014, the researchers from universities around the world wrote in the journal on Asia-Pacific Psychiatry, found in Asia was the world's worst "problematic Internet use." The paper's first author, kelisidian·mengtage said in an e-mail message, Korea's problem is the world's highest rates of Internet use, in part because of the country's technology sector and large market for online gaming. Korea also have treatment for Internet addiction camps.

United Kingdom Nottingham Trent University's Internet and addiction experts Darias · J Golf, recent scientific evidence shows that the best way to treat Internet addiction appears to be in a separate environment and group cognitive behavioral therapy, group environment typically includes the patient's parents and other important people.

Reports said officials and psychologists all over the world discuss how to measure and control Internet use. Analysts said a crucial question is, is classified as a mental disorder or is it a symptom of a potential obstacle.

In China, this discussion is full of uncertainties. One sign is that the Ministry of health in 2009 said it would no longer use "Internet addiction" the word to describe the Internet for those not as human damage or excessive use of the Internet.

But that same year, one led by a Committee under the Communist Party's China Youth Internet Association study found that, more than 24 million Chinese Internet users between the ages of 13-29 there are addiction problems.

美媒谈中国戒网瘾中心，政府将严厉打击 - 网瘾 - IT资讯

美媒称，在中国华东的一座成瘾治疗中心，6000多名网络成瘾者（大多为青少年）不仅被剥夺了上网的机会，还要接受电击治疗。这个位于山东省的治疗中心在去年9月上了报纸，因为它的一位患者为报复据称在这座治疗营接受强制戒网瘾期间遭受的虐待，杀死了自己的母亲。现在，中国正试图对这样的治疗营进行管理。

美国《纽约时报》网站1月16日报道，将孩子送到这些地方，是对子女连续数小时玩网络游戏的习惯感到恼怒的中国家长万不得已采取的手段。

政府起草了一部法案，会严厉打击这些治疗营最过分的行为，包括电击和其他体罚。医学专家对于这部于近日在中国新闻媒体上公布的法案表示欢迎，称它是遏制该行业丑闻的第一步。

“这是保护年幼孩子的一个非常重要的举措，”北京军区总医院网瘾治疗中心主任陶然说。

陶然表示，许多中国家长认为，电击治疗的影响是短暂的。但他表示，他在好几个从这类治疗营返回的曾接受电击治疗的青少年身上，看到了持久心理创伤的迹象。

“他们不说话，怕见人，也不愿出门，”他在谈及与这些青少年的会面时讲道。“就连听到医院和医生这样的字眼，也会惊慌失措。”

中国政法大学法学教授曲新久表示，有一种观念在中国非常普遍，即父母对孩子有最高管辖权，就连警察也无权干涉家庭事务。“尽管外界认为这么做是错的，还是有很多家长把孩子送去接受电击治疗，原因就在这里。”

有关中国网瘾治疗营数量和增长情况的数据缺乏，但它们的治疗方式在过去数年里一直引人担忧。

报道称，这部法律也会限制未成年人每天在家或在网吧玩网络游戏的时间。提供这类游戏的商家也会被强制要求采取措施，监督和限制其使用，比如要求玩家以真实姓名注册。该法未明确允许的时长，但规定从午夜到早上8点，未成年人任何时候都不得玩网络游戏。

不依该法行事的游戏供应商和网吧会被处以罚款，可能还会被政府关闭。

媒体报道，立法者将就该法律草案征求公众的意见，截止至二月初。但报道未表示它可能将于何时实施。

2009年，中国卫生部发文反对用电击治疗网瘾。2014年，来自全球多所大学的研究人员在期刊《亚太精神病学》上撰文称，在亚洲发现了全世界最严重的“问题性互联网使用”。该论文的第一作者克里斯蒂安·蒙塔格在电子邮件中表示，韩国的问题性互联网使用率是全球最高的，部分是因为该国的科技行业和网络游戏市场庞大。韩国也有针对网瘾的治疗营。

英国诺丁汉特伦特大学的互联网和网瘾问题专家达里亚斯·J·库斯称，最近的科学证据表明，治疗网瘾最好的方式似乎是在单独和群体环境下的认知行为疗法，群体环境通常包括患者的父母和其他重要的人。

报道称，全世界的官员和心理学家都讨论过如何衡量和管控极端的互联网使用。分析人士称，一个至关重要的问题在于，是把它归为心理障碍还是潜在障碍的一个症状。

在中国，这场讨论充满不确定性。其中一个迹象是，卫生部2009年表示将不再用“网络成瘾”这个词来描述互联网对那些不当或过多使用互联网的人的损害。

但同一年，一个由中共下属某委员会领导的中国青少年网络协会进行的一项研究认为，2400多万年龄在13到29岁之间的中国互联网用户存在网瘾问题。
