In these pictures you will see how many children are born with some kind of bone illness, others have festers all over their body so they cannot lay down on a bed but have to sleep while sitting. The photos speak for themselves. Other shocking situations from China is the number of child labor; here you can see a little boy working as a tire repair worker. […]
