A passerby recorded a father hanging his 10-year-old daughter off a fifth-floor balcony as a form of discipline, according to the Jiangsu News. The father was only given a warning by police.

The girl was left to hang for several minutes, facing downward from the fifth floor, while laying across and holding onto three metal bars.
