A man threatened to harm his two children with a knife and a lit cigarette while recording the incident on his phone, all in an attempt to get his wife to return back home after she left him, according to multiple Chinese news outlets. However, Chinese police didn’t take the man’s threats seriously.

The wife left her husband on July 10 after suffering on-going domestic violence, but the children were unharmed, the report said.
