China finds cover-up in lead poisoning of 200 children
In an earlier thread, I asked "Are these adults incredibly dumb? Or did they actually hate the children?" it turns out it's the latter:
Dozens of provincial officials and hospital staff attempted to cover up a lead poisoning case that made hundreds of children sick in north-west China and sparked widespread outrage, an official investigation has found.
The officials tampered with the blood tests of students who were poisoned at Peixin Kindergarten in Tianshui city, Gansu provincial authorities said in a report on Sunday.
City officials also accepted bribes from an investor in Peixin while neglecting food safety inspections across several pre-schools, the report said.
In an attempt to attract more students, Peixin chefs had used inedible paint to "enhance the look" of its meals, the report said.
