One Chinese dad can forget about getting a Father's Day card after chaining his 8-year-old son to a pole and trying to auction him to strangers on the street in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
Yong Tsui tried to peddle Yong Fai, touting the boy's strong work ethic.

Yong Fai, 8, is chained to a pole while his dad looks for strangers in in Wuhan, China, to take the boy off his hands.

Police did nothing until passersby grew irate and assaulted the dad after people expressing interest in Fai asked how much they would need to spend on the boy.
"He has no job, no home and no money," one sympathetic officer said of the dad, the Daily Mail reports. "He says he wasn't interested in the money, just finding a home for the boy."

Enough is enough: Strangers attack dad for tying son up in chains.

The scared boy told police his father said he could no longer afford to raise him.
Yong Tsui said he chained his son after learning about a similar situation in China where a chained-up 2-year-old boy got free day care after generous strangers learned of his plight.
For now, the boy remains in the custody of the police.
