China: School Caught Pouring Paint into Kindergarteners’ Food, Poisoning Hundreds

[Hol]

The story became a national scandal after hundreds of children were hospitalized with lead poisoning in late June.

Blood tests ultimately discovered high levels of lead in 233 out of 251 students at the Heshi Peixin Kindergarten, located in the Maiji suburb of Tianshui. 201 of those students required hospitalization.

Investigators tested food served to the children and found incredibly high levels of lead in two items, a red date steamed breakfast cake and a sausage corn roll. Both contained over a thousand milligrams of lead per kilogram of product.

China’s food safety standards call for a maximum amount of 0.5 mg of lead per kilogram of food. The levels found in the Heshi Peixin children could cause permanent liver, stomach, brain, and nervous system damage.

Upon further investigation, the police determined that the food was poisoned on the orders of principal Zhu Moulin and the school’s financial backer Li Moufang, who told kitchen staff to buy paint online and mix it into the food to make it look more appetizing. The paint they bought was clearly labeled as unsafe for human consumption.

What blew the case into a nationwide scandal was the suspicion of Maiji parents that local officials, and even doctors at the local hospital, attempted to conceal the extent of the lead poisoning.

This is just disgusting. I read in the article that the principal had instructed them to do that for the website and brochure photos…I wonder if they all misunderstood and that’s why they kept doing it?? Although the container was clearly labeled as not safe for consumption.
Those poor little kids will have a lifetime of problems now because of this. So sad.

If they will do that to their own children,
imagine what they might do to food, cosmetics, supplements, drugs, ingredients, toys, etc. destined for enemy trading partner(s)
They have a history of shipping tainted, poisonous, etc. stuff to the U.S., and past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior.

IDK what the Parents can do in their system, but I hope there is some kind of justice and help for the children and families.

In the end, we remember that God saw this.
The most important thing is any/all being blessed with The Gospel.

The evil of mankind continues to astound.....and the lack of justice battles it for top prize.

.....and the lack of justice battles it for top prize.

It's not that justice is absent but, through the mercies of God who desires all to be saved, that justice is merely delayed in the hope that the guilty may come to repentance. But, absent repentance, the full measure of justice WILL take place. There is no doubt about that.

I agree....the lack of justice I was referring to is here on earth right now with our courts, judges, and judicial system.
