A teenager died from multiple injuries just days after being dropped off at an Internet addiction treatment center:
A Chinese teenager has died days after he was sent to an internet addiction treatment centre, reigniting criticism of these controversial institutions. The 18-year-old had allegedly sustained multiple injuries, and the centre's director and staff members have been held by police, according to reports.
The incident took place earlier this month in eastern Anhui province. China has seen a proliferation in so-called "boot camps" aimed at treating internet and gaming addictions. Some are known for their military-style discipline and have been criticised for overly harsh practices.

failure != fault != wrong
OP doesn't imply moral liability. Quite the opposite. It argues against social Darwinism and it's use to justify breaking the law.
Oh, and Darwin commented on the attempts to apply his work to social theory with contempt and ridicule. He understood people being scam might work on the individual level but would be disastrous to the species as a whole. Sadly, that's not something you can teach people brain washed by capitalist hedonism that seeks momentary personal fulfillment at any expense.
