A short video of parents from Shenzhen in south China’s Guangdong Province taking turns physically abusing their daughter has triggered outrage on the Internet, China Central Television reported on Tuesday.

　　央视周二报道，一段短视频在网上引发众怒，视频中一对来自中国南方广东省深圳市的父母轮流虐待自己的女儿。

　　The parents have confessed after Shenzhen police began investigating the case on December 23, the publicity department of the city’s Bao’an District Committee announced in its Weibo account. The Women’s Federation in the district has applied to the court for a personal safety order for the girl.

　　深圳市宝安区区委会的宣传部门在其微博上宣称，深圳警方于12月23日开始调查此案后，这对父母已经认罪，宝安区妇联已为该女孩向法院申请人身安全保护令。

　　As a video clip showed, the mother rushed to strangle her daughter and pushed her to the ground, seemingly out of no reason, as the girl was doing homework. The girl sat back on the seat after getting up off the ground. However, the woman beat the girl violently with a broom seconds later.

　　视频片段显示，女儿在做作业时，母亲无故就冲过去掐住她把她推倒在地。女孩从地上站起来，重新坐在座位上。然而，几秒钟后，这女人又用笤帚狠狠地抽打了那个女孩。

　　According to another clip, a man in a food delivery company uniform slapped the girl severely and kept beating her with a broom as well.

　　另一段视频显示，一名身穿外卖公司制服的男子狠狠地扇了女孩一巴掌，还用笤帚不停地打她。

　　The abuse clips, edited from a home security monitoring app, happened to be found by one of the father’s fellow mahjong players who once lent his cell phone to him to check the monitor.

　　这些虐待视频被家庭安全监控应用程序记录下来，这位父亲曾经向自己的麻将牌友借过手机查看自己家的监控情况，这位牌友碰巧发现了这段视频。

　　The girl, currently accompanied by a professional psychological counselor and social workers, is eating and sleeping normally and will continue school, according to the district’s publicity department. The case is still under investigation.
