A Hong Kong couple, Yen and Li, will face child neglect charges in Eastern Court on Tuesday after their five-year-old son was swept into the sea during Super Typhoon Ragasa on September 23 of last year. The incident occurred at a breakwater in Chai Wan while a No. 8 typhoon warning signal was in effect; the couple had taken their two children to watch the waves. Both the mother and son were swept into the sea, prompting the father to attempt a rescue. A nearby boatman rescued the unconscious mother and son, who were then treated in intensive care. The parents were arrested on January 6 and formally charged with ill-treatment or neglect of a child last Wednesday.
