Hong Kong police investigate case of girl, 10, made to carry bags of beer

Hong Kong police are currently investigating the case of a 10-year-old girl who was allegedly forced to carry bags of beer by a man after being berated in a public confrontation. The incident, which was captured on video, occurred at Fu Tai Estate in Tuen Mun. Police were alerted to the situation around 10:30 PM on Tuesday but no arrests were made at the time.

The girl, who was wearing a school uniform, was seen carrying two bags containing numerous beer cans in separate videos that have been shared online. Her school, Lutheran Tsang Shing Siu Leun School, stated that they intervened after learning about the incident and provided support and counseling to the pupil and her family. They emphasized that they "love every child and will never tolerate any behavior that harms children’s rights or their physical and mental health."

Police have identified the girl’s father as Wong and her mother as Chan, but the girl’s name has not been released. The school is actively investigating the case and urging the public to refrain from sharing the footage and information to protect the child’s privacy and psychological well-being.
