Hong Kong police launch child abuse investigation over video of 11-year-old girl carrying beer

Hong Kong police have launched a child abuse investigation over a video showing an 11-year-old girl carrying two bags of beer, with the New Territories North Regional Child Abuse Investigation Team taking over the case. The video was filmed near Fu Tai Estate in Tuen Mun, and the girl told passers-by that her father would not allow others to help. Police received a report at about 10pm on Tuesday and initially found no obvious signs of abuse, closing the case, before reclassifying it as a request for assistance on Wednesday. The school the girl attends has stepped in to provide counselling and urged people to stop sharing the video.
