2025年11月10日，中國江蘇一名男子被監控拍下對其93歲高齡母親施以暴力，畫面令人震驚。監控中，男子多次扇母親耳光、抓扯頭髮，並將老人摁倒在地持續毆打，老人無力反抗，不斷哭喊求助。女兒因長期目睹母親遭受虐待，最終決定將監控視頻公開曝光並向警方報案，警方已介入調查此案。

據女兒透露，類似的虐待行為“經常發生”，此次事件只是冰山一角。監控畫面中可以看到，中年男子的行為粗暴而持續，老人因高齡與體力有限，完全無法自衛，長時間承受精神與肉體的雙重折磨。女兒無法再忍受母親受虐的情況，選擇將視頻公開，藉此引起社會關注並促使法律介入。

警方已根據《治安管理處罰法》及《反家庭暴力法》立案調查，並對案件進行跟進。如果傷情鑑定達到輕傷以上，施暴者可能面臨“虐待罪”或“故意傷害罪”等刑事指控，司法程序將依據事實與法律嚴格處理。

事件曝光後迅速在網絡引起廣泛關注與憤怒。大量網友譴責施暴者“喪心病狂”“禽獸不如”，並呼籲嚴懲此類行為。同時，部分媒體在報導中對施暴者進行打碼的做法，也引發公眾質疑，認為這種過度保護加害者的做法不利於社會正義與受害者權益。

從倫理與法律層面看，這起事件折射出部分子女將老人視為負擔的扭曲心理，凸顯家庭虐待老人的社會問題。輿論指出，虐待老人不應被視為家務事，而現行法律對虐待老人行為的處罰力度仍顯不足。網民建議應完善在剝奪監護權後的安置機制，加強社區監管與心理援助，防止類似悲劇再次發生。

類似案件近年屢屢出現，例如2023年浙江台州發生的“男子為騙保駕車撞死母親”事件，進一步凸顯老齡化社會下的養老壓力與代際矛盾。專家與公眾呼籲建立更有效的匿名舉報系統與社區干預機制，並加強社會保障與法律教育，從根本上保護老年人免受家庭暴力侵害。

On November 10, 2025, a shocking incident was captured on surveillance cameras in Jiangsu, China, showing a man violently assaulting his 93-year-old mother. The footage revealed the man repeatedly slapping her, pulling her hair, and forcing her to the ground while continuing to strike her. The elderly woman, frail due to her age, was unable to defend herself and could only cry out in distress. The man’s daughter, having witnessed her mother’s ongoing abuse for a long time, eventually decided to make the surveillance footage public and filed a report with the police, who have since initiated an investigation into the case.

According to the daughter, such abusive behavior “happens frequently,” and this particular incident is only the tip of the iceberg. The surveillance footage shows the man’s repeated and violent actions, while the elderly woman, limited by age and physical strength, suffers both physically and emotionally. Unable to tolerate her mother being harmed any longer, the daughter exposed the video to raise public awareness and prompt legal intervention.

Authorities have taken action under China’s Public Security Administration Punishments Law and the Anti-Domestic Violence Law, formally opening a case for investigation. If the injuries are assessed as reaching the level of “minor injury” or higher, the perpetrator could face criminal charges such as abuse or intentional injury, with the judicial system expected to handle the case according to the facts and the law.

The case quickly sparked outrage online. Many netizens condemned the perpetrator as “heartless” and “worse than an animal,” calling for severe punishment. Public criticism also focused on media practices that blur the perpetrator’s identity, arguing that overprotecting abusers undermines justice and the rights of victims.

From ethical and legal perspectives, the incident reflects a disturbing phenomenon in which some children view elderly parents as burdens, highlighting a broader societal issue of elder abuse within families. Public commentary emphasizes that abuse of elderly family members should not be treated as a private domestic matter. Critics also note that current laws may not impose sufficient penalties on perpetrators of elder abuse. Suggestions include improving mechanisms for the care and supervision of elderly individuals after guardianship is revoked, strengthening community oversight, and providing psychological support to prevent similar tragedies.

This case is part of a troubling trend of incidents in recent years, such as the 2023 case in Taizhou, Zhejiang, where a man deliberately ran over his mother to fraudulently claim insurance. Such cases underscore the pressures of an aging society and intergenerational conflicts. Experts and the public alike are calling for more effective anonymous reporting systems, community intervention mechanisms, and stronger social and legal protections to safeguard elderly individuals from domestic violence.
