Babysitter gets life for poisoning 247 children
A Chinese court has sentenced a preschool owner to life imprisonment after convicting them of producing and selling toxic foods containing artificial paint unfit for consumption, which led to 247 children being poisoned with lead in their blood. It was revealed that kitchen staff used paint to enhance the colors of the food in order to attract children, despite warnings on the packaging. Blood test results for many children exceeded the permissible limit by more than 2,000 times, and the poisoning required medical treatment for 235 children. Some officials manipulated test results and attempted to cover up the incident. The sentences include 15 years in prison for the executive director and 6 to 8 years for four other employees, along with the confiscation of assets worth 500,000 yuan. Meanwhile, authorities have launched measures to strengthen food safety oversight in educational institutions.
