Feb 6, 2010: Chinese Daycare
 
Not all Chinese daycare, but one parent's solution...

Quote:
Dad Chen Chuanliu has told how he chains his two-year-old son to a tree while he's working because he can't afford a nursery place for him. The rickshaw cyclist, from the Chinese capital Beijing, decided to put tot Lao Lu under lock and key after his four-year-old daughter Ling went missing last month.

Child snatching is rife in China where strict laws govern the size of families. "My wife is ill and I can't stop work. So I chain him to a pole when I have a fare. It seems harsh but it is better than losing him," said Chen.
I guess all the babysitters are busy making poison crap for walmart.

Ohhh, I might try that!!

Save me $150 a week in day care.

No kidding. I wonder what the age limit is on that. Lil Lookout might complain a bit, but it is definitely cheaper than tuition.

That's almost as good as the duct tape and Peanut butter we used to use ! ( Kidding )

What if a bad guy comes along with a bair of bolt cutters? Poor little guy. I suppose it might solve the problem of little kids being abducted as sex slaves in Haiti. :(

If the Chinese stolen-baby market is as lucrative as the Chinese stolen-bicycle market, this won't work. I had 5 bicycles stolen when I lived there. All of them were chained and locked up.

On another note, I assume this little guy has a bowl of water and a bowl of snacks nearby.

I saw the photo and thought "They must have Baptists in that area." Then I read the caption. That is so sad. I wonder if he got his daughter back?

Probably not.

Not quite as bad as going to the casino here and seeing a sign in the parking lot warning you of leaving your child in the car will result in the police being called.

When will casinos start offering daycare? It would probably be a short slide into indenturing the kids to cover your gambling debts...
