These pictures of a mentally ill man naked and chained to a wall in the most appalling conditions are enough to shock even the hardest among us.

But amazingly his mother, who has kept him locked in a ruined barn in Chongqing, southern China for 23 years, claims it is for 'his own good' and that she loves him dearly.

Xiao Anrong, 76, is now appealing for help to care for Tang Zuhua, 40, because she says she is worried about what will happen to him when she dies.
Since her two other children left home, Xiao has cared for him on her own and has to bathe him, trim his hair, clean out his barn and feed him while living on a pension of £16 a month.He sleeps on the bare ground as Xiao cannot afford straw for his bedding.

Why has she got Gollum tied up in a warehouse?

Seriously though no one wants to see another human being treated like that, the old adage is the further East you go the cheaper life is, I can remember seeing a photo of a dead newborn baby girl left lying in a gutter in China and no one seemed to care.
