A 13-year-old boy is in a critical condition after two of his co-workers at a car repair shop inserted a high pressure air pump nozzle in to his body. Du Chuanwang, from Shandong Province on China's east coast, suffered from dozens of puncture wounds in his intestines, severe internal bleeding and multiple organ failure. The horrific assault happened at a car repair shop where the teenager helped out. Two men allegedly inserted the nozzle of an air pump into his rectum and filled his body with air. They have been arrested, said Shi Chuanbin, chief of the publicity department of the local public security bureau. But claim that they pushed the boy to the ground and pumped his body with a tyre’s worth of air as a 'joke.' 'The pressure inside his abdomen was so high that his legs turned purple. 'The surgeons immediately cut open his abdomen to let the gas out, and found that his small intestines were bleeding very badly.' Du awoke three days ago after being in a coma for over a week and yesterday he was transferred to the intensive care unit at Bayi Children's Hospital in Beijing - staff have not issued any further details about his condition. 'We can only provide the necessary life support to him for now, as his condition is very complicated, and the doctors have not yet devised a final treatment plan,' a hospital official told CNN. Du is in stable condition, but his intestines, lungs and nose are battling a serious bacterial infection. His nose and eardrums also suffered serious injury, Du's mother died six years ago, but his father, uncle and grandfather travelled to Beijing to be at his bedside as he recovers. Du's family were initially concerned about being able to pay for his extensive treatment, but charity donations have ensured they are able to meet the cost. A charity group called Angel Mom that assisted in moving Du to another hospital have also helped in raising funds for his care. China Daily reported that his treatment at the first hospital, in Shandong, cost about 100,000 yuan, and that the repair shop owner paid for 60 per cent of it. Du's grandfather said his grandson had worked in the shop because the owner was a family friend. 'Since his mother passed away, his dad hoped the owner of the repair shop could take care of him. We think of the owner as the boy's guardian,' he said told CNN. According to the grandfather, the repair shop owner did not pay Du a wage, but bought him clothes and other items.

Terrible I don't understand what goes on in someone's head to make them want to do something so stupid. And for them to say they did it as a joke ... Yeah real funny ... NOT!
Wishing him a full recovery.

Pretty sick joke.

How old were the guys who attacked him? The article says "men"...

That's so awful! I don't understand how those men could call this a "joke." That's one sick joke.

This is so sad. The joke part is probably a cover up.. What kind of men would do this to a 13 year old?

They are 20 and 27. It wasn't the first time they did this to him. Apparently, there was so much air in him that a hissing noise resulted from the release of air after an incision was made in his belly.

Thankfully, there is a fund set up for him that people are donating to. He will probably need plastic surgery because of the damage to his face.

Who the hell are these idiots who did this to him? It's common sense! I think anybody over the age of 9 should know what happens when you do something like that. Sounds like these were older guys, men I think. I don't think guilt alone is enough to haunt these idiots. I know China is not the place where a victim finds justice, but in this case, I hope the global attention would bring about some.

I hope this poor boy gets better. What a horrific assault.

This is a HUMAN BEING and not a BALOON that is going to fly around the room when you let the air out!!

Good God... How STUPID are some people.

This is so awful!! What goes through the minds of some people? I will never know.

Why are these idiots not in jail??? And how do they not have to pay for his 100% of his medical bills??? Poor kid. I hope he is able to recover.
