Okay, today, Kirk came in contact with me and he replied to my email: George Marbulcanti (Kirkburn), Oct 30, 7:42 PM UTC: Hi BlueHeart7693,

Thanks for letting us know of this. We going to try reaching out to them directly, to give them some advice on how to get help.

I understand your community's distress over this, but do remember that you are not, and cannot, be responsible for the actions of someone you don't know and can't see.

I would suggest trying to ask the community's to cool their reactions a bit - offering support is certainly good, but it may not be helpful for people to tell her how awful they think her mother is, because it's not something she has a choice about. Plus, don't forget that there may be important aspects to this story that we do not know - and what her mother is doing may be completely legal (restricting online access is not uncommon, for example, and corporal punishment is not outlawed throughout the world).

This is not to say Bella's emotional state should be ignored, but please do be careful around making police reports, as they have the potential to cause further harm (e.g. retribution from a parent for being 'embarrassed' by their child).

In any case, this is clearly a tough situation, and I hope this was in some way helpful.

Best regards,

George Marbulcanti (Kirkburn) Senior Technical Community Support Specialist FANDOM Community Support Team

Okay so the good news here is that, Fandom will get involved and support us in this problem! They feel like that this shouldn’t happen to Bella ORL and will back us up. Bad news is that since Fandom does not know further detail, they don’t know the law in China. They are saying that abuse like this MIGHT ACTUALLY BE LEGAL. We need to give them more info, but only the law in China. When my mom was little, she was abused and people tried to outlaw abuse at the time. Abuse in China is now outlawed in some areas, but no all. Some regions are neutral, and some allow it. But to be honest, the type of abuse described was Sexual harassment. I need to do some research before we can get an official arrest.
