Jackie Chan's 'suicidal' love child accuses mother of abuse

The teenage love child of Hong Kong action superstar Jackie Chan has revealed that she had suicidal thoughts when she accused her mother of abuse last week, reports our Chinese-language sister paper China Times.

Etta Ng, 15, who was born of Chan's affair with Hong Kong actress and former Miss Asia Elaine Ng in the late 1990s, dropped a bombshell on teachers at her school in the New Territories on March 11 when she claimed her mother had been physically abusing her.

Police detained Elaine Ng, 42, later that afternoon when she came to collect Etta from school. Conflicting sources say she was either released without charge on the same day or released on bail the next day on charges of child cruelty and possessing illegal drugs allegedly found in her home following a search.

Etta Ng has since downplayed the abuse claims, saying she only notified police because she did not know how to help her mother overcome her addiction to alcohol and sleeping pills. Reports indicate that the teenager is currently in hospital receiving unspecified treatment and that her mother is prohibited from seeing her.

For her part, Elaine Ng has denied the allegations, reminding reporters camped outside her home on Friday that her daughter had reiterated to police several times that there was no physical abuse. In previous interviews, however, the actress has admitted to being a strict mother and using corporal punishment to discipline Etta when she was younger, including whipping her on the legs with a belt.

"Children are sometimes naughty and they do something wrong when they are naughty. I think adults can deal with these things," she said, adding that she may have underestimated how much pressure her daughter may have been under from being known as the illegitimate child of Jackie Chan.

Elaine Ng also admitted that she drinks and has been dependent on sleeping pills for quite some time, but snapped at reporters when pressed on the issue. "Everything is fine!" she said, before telling her daughter through the camera lens that she would look after her own health and continue to work hard. She refused to answer questions about the alleged drug possession charge, saying only that her lawyers would handle the case.

The former beauty queen acknowledged she was stunned when told by school teachers that her daughter had considered taking her own life, telling reporters that Etta must be a "great actress" because she always appeared to be a happy child.

Etta had also painted a lonely picture of her existence in an interview with Hong Kong media, saying she had no friends and that the only people in her life were her mother, their Filipino housekeeper and her pet cat.

Her 60-year-old father, who famously said he had "only committed a fault that every single man in the world commits" when he discovered Elaine Ng was pregnant in 1999, has scarcely been in her life. He has not commented on the story and his manager denies any knowledge of the situation.
