Feb 6, 2010: Chinese Daycare

xoxoxoBruce · 02-06-2010, 01:25 AM

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.

squirell nutkin · 02-06-2010, 11:42 AM

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