 | In less than two months, China has seen six cases of men charging into schools and kindergartens to kill and hurt children. On April 28, 29 and 30, there was one incident per day in three separate cities. Last Wednesday, a man with a cleaver killed seven children and two adults in a central China kindergarten, while on Saturday the man behind the April 29 attack was sentenced to death for stabbing 29 children in an eastern province. The situation has become not only very dark but very surreal. |
