I wonder why the gollum didnt threaten the mother to free him with the scissors all these years? He would probably be more happy in jail anyways.

I thought the guy was 23 years old or so like late teens because this is what usually happens. I had no idea he was 40 already.

He looks pretty healthy. His mom's been taking care of him to the best of her abilities, even though being chained up is pretty bad.

Just for the fact that the news is out there I sincerely hope the government would step in to help the mother and the son.
Even if they end up helping them as a publicity stunt or actually doing the right thing, I hope more of these stories will show up (I am possitive that there are thousands of stories similar to this...) so that the Chinese Government would actually put their government funding somewhere useful.

I'm sure this has happened all over the world. I know there has been a number of stories to situtations like this happening in the US as well (not really the naked part) for once we can't use only in China comment

She obviously does not have much options living on "a pension of £16 a month".
That's roughly $25 CAD, which is less than a $1 per day.

So with their power, what have the two other siblings done to help make life easier for him?

The old woman has no choice. The story is truly a sad one. She is doing the best she can. Release him and he will end up suffering and eventually dead. Nobody will give a shit. She has taken care of him for so many years and with very little time left, she wants to make sure the son is looked after. I don't know about the rest of you, but I see her as an awesome parent.
As for the siblings, they have probably moved on and have left that all behind. Not cool, but that's their choice, I guess. The boy is fortunate to have a mother who will not abandon him - that's the bottom line. Unless, of course, there's more to this story.
