The boy, identified as a third-grader named Liang Liang, was visiting his mother, who was staying in a Buddhist temple while trying to cure an unspecified mental disorder, when the woman "gnawed his penis" off. Relatives were unable to find the severed organ. After the bizarre attack, which has been attributed to the mother's madness, doctors spent two hours saving the boy's life. "The boy needs long-term therapy to treat his mental trauma, more so than physical injury," a doctor is quoted in Shanghai Daily. "When the boy grows up, he will still have sexual needs like a normal man, but the disability will cause him huge pain," the doctor added. The young victim is now being cared for by his relatives.
