41-year-old Zhang Xin De told Lianhe Wanbao that he and his intellectually-disabled wife were unable to take care of their son and wanted to look for a good foster home for him.
Citing medical problems such as a spine injury, diabetes and headaches, Mr Zhang told the Chinese daily that he did not expect to live past 45 years old. He claims to be taking eight kinds of medicine to control his medical situation.
Financial woes have also plagued him, since he has not had a job since May. He also owes money to a bank.
His spine injury prevents him from standing straight for more than 15 minutes.
Afraid of losing control
Mr Teo also told Lianhe Wanbao that his mood was increasingly unstable as he was facing a lot of pressures in his daily life.
He said he was afraid of hurting his son if he lost control of his temper.
He told Lianhe Wanbao that he grew up in a violent family environment, where he would be beaten by his father for no reason.
When contacted, Mr Teo's wife told Lianhe Wanbao that their son was distraught upon hearing that his father wanted to send him away.
Mr Teo's wife said she became intellectually-disabled after she hurt her head in a scuffle. This is her second marriage.
