Ever been scolded for not doing your homework? Were you made to stand in a corner as punishment?
Or banned from going to the playground?
A boy was so afraid of being punished by his mother for not finishing his homework on time that he climbed out the window of his 11-storey apartment.
The incident took place on Monday in China's Sichuan province.
The 12-year-old sat on the ledge as family members and the police tried to persuade him to come back inside.
After a two-hour standoff, the boy finally agreed to return to the apartment.
