Five Children Hospitalized in Kindergarten Poisoning

If you value your life and your health, a Chinese school ain't the place to be these days.

Five children have been moved to hospital after ingesting rat poison in a kindergarten in Cenxi, Guangxi.  One of the children is in a coma after suffering severe poisoning, the other four are reported to be in a stable condition.  Currently there is no word on how the children managed to get access to the poison.

Two pupils died in May this year when a teacher laced yoghurt with tetramine in an attempt to tarnish the reputation of a rival school in in Lianghe village in Pingshan county.  The deaths followed a spate of poisonings, authorities blaming the intense competition between local schools.

In Mao's home city of Changsha, 180 pupils were sickened after eating their lunches, some of them suffering severe vomiting - milk and cookies served to the kids have been sent to labs for analysis.  In another case students in a primary school suffered nosebleeds, fumes produced by nearby factories were blamed.
