Supermarket worker stops child urinating on fruit, mother goes ballistic, gives worker heart attack

A supermarket shelf stacker who tried to stop a child urinating in an aisle had a heart attack when his mother reacted with a half hour diatribe.

Ling Chen, 45, ran over after she spotted the boy dropping his pants and preparing to pee on a fruit display at the supermarket in Liaoning Province, north-west China.

But the boy's mother, who apparently thought it okay for him to relieve himself on things that others might eventually eat, flew into a rage at Ms Chen's intervention.

She reportedly shouted: "How dare you, children need to be able to relieve themselves wherever they want. Everyone knows that they can't hold it in and it's unhealthy."

She only stopped when Ms Chen collapsed clutching her chest and was rushed to hospital with a suspected heart attack.

One Chinese Internet user said of the pictures: 'Having this kind of parents, I really don’t know how the kid will be after growing up.'

Sadly, we have some sneaking suspicions...
