China mum claims staff negligence after son falls during ‘wild’ run in shop, ignites debate
11-year-old diagnosed with concussion after supermarket fall, mother returns to smash up premises, enters compensation fight with shop
A mother in China who claimed compensation from a supermarket after her 11-year-old son fell over and suffered concussion on the premises has been accused of buck passing on social media.
The unidentified mother was exposed to have vandalised the Meixi Qingxiu branch of Alibaba’s Hema Xiansheng supermarket in central China’s Hunan province, where her son accidentally fell on October 19.
Alibaba is the owner of the South China Morning Post.
Video footage circulating online shows the boy running wildly in the supermarket before tripping himself up, falling down and passing out for a few seconds.
His mother took him to the hospital two days later and the boy was diagnosed with concussion and a scalp hematoma.
His mother blamed the shop for not helping her son immediately and calling an ambulance, and went back to smash the premises and claim for compensation.
