Shanghai Daily reports on a clockwork red:

China’s criminals are getting younger, more innovative and more plentiful, state media said on Wednesday, citing experts who blamed increasing Internet access and the effects of the country’s “one-child policy.”

Rather than kicking some ded in the yarbles, these lewdies go for a bit of the online:

China’s police have said the majority of juvenile crime stems from the Internet, ranging from children stealing to finance online gaming addictions, to complex scams involving the theft of virtual property.

Authorities had added 150 new types of crimes last year to the law books, a rise of 22 percent, to cover new forms of online fraud and “gang-related Internet crimes,” the paper said.

Maybe it’s time for the ludovico treatment.
