Worried parents whose children were trapped inside the Polytechnic University were among the 200 protesters who joined a peaceful rally on Monday night in eastern Tsim Sha Tsui, a tourist area which is only 300 metres away from the besieged campus.
Ms Ng - who only wanted to be identified by her last name - Found out on Sunday Night her son was among those trapped inside. "He's frightened because he has not faced any emergency situation on his own. She has been on The Streets near the university since then.
The teary-eyed mother is proud of her 18-year-old son despite the circumstances. "My son didn't cry. He's strong and likes to help others," She Said . "I told my son that you did nothing wrong and you are an outstanding kid. I wouldn't blame you. "
She told him to stay inside the campus and wait for her to pick him up. Ms Ng said the government should bear the responsibility for the chaos in Hong Kong .

Why are there protests in Hong Kong ?Hong Kong - a British colony until 1997 - is part of China under a model known as "one country, two systems". Under this model, it has a high degree of autonomy and people have freedoms unseen in Mainland China .
The protests started in June after the government planned to pass a bill that would allow suspects to be extradited to Mainland China . Many feared this would undermine The City 's freedoms and judicial independence.
The Bill was eventually withdrawn, but the demonstrations continued, having evolved into a broader protest movement against alleged Police Brutality , and the way Hong Kong is administered by Beijing .
