Nearly 53,000 Chinese children sick from milk
The number of children in China sickened by dairy products tainted with the banned industrial chemical melamine has jumped to nearly 53,000, the government said Sunday as it vowed to crack down on those responsible for one of China's worst food safety scandals in years. More than 80 percent of the 12,892 children hospitalized in recent weeks were 2 years old or younger, the Health Ministry said in a statement posted on its Web site late Sunday. Four children have died and 104 of the hospitalized children are in serious condition.

China must make a stand on this and make sure that everyone involved is made an example of.
That includes the FAT CATS AT THE TOP IN PARTICULAR.

1 You have a distorted view. The Government wants to shoot the greedy saboteur who mixed the milk with melamine. |

1 in a baby milk factory. Interestingly enough, according to Wikipedia seems that this is the same chemical that was discovered in the pet food we had last year. It seem plausible that someone is either using melamine has a filler with gluten to stretch the supply or somebody has made a very dire mistake. |

Isn't it amazing the damage and suffering we humans bring upon ourselves for the almighty smucking dollar!

Their dog food sickened my two dogs with the same ingredient in it (remember the dog food incident two years ago?). I just can't believe China and their lack of respect for life in general. These are their very own, their future....and they are killing them for what reason?????? This is all beyond me.

No early retirement and golden parachute for this guy. *** July 10, 2007 - The former head of China's Food and Drug Administration was put to death Tuesday for approving untested medicines. The incident highlights a series of environmental and industrial scandals in China, and growing pressure on the government to make changes. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php... |

Well, it's certainly not the most "kid friendly" place in the world. *** "BEIJING, May 21 — An intensive campaign to enforce strict population-control measures, including forced abortions, prompted violent clashes between the police and local residents in southwestern China in recent days, witnesses said Monday, describing the latest incident of rural unrest that has alarmed senior officials in Beijing." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/22/world/asia/... |

Looks like China's finally seeing the horrible repercussions caused by poor quality inspections.
I'm not saying I don't feel sorry for the babies affected by these horrible factories because I do feel sorry for them. I do however NOT feel sorry for the people who have been causing these poor quality decisions. Karma will bite you in the ass every time and it hurts worse when your innocent children are the ones suffering from your poor decisions. |

If you are so smart (which it very well seems you are), can I ask why is it "Vote Obama" is in you name rather than "Vote McCain". Is Obama the worse of two evils? C'MON PEOPLE! VOTE INDEPENDENT!!! |

I think it was 4 in the US. China will never give a truthful answer. I am with you, this is so sad. |
It's no mistake. It's basically caused by crooks out to make a profit through illegal means. They need to be brought to justice and made an example of. |

No babies died in the US. |
