But in many countries around the world have developed relatively mature baby rescue initiatives in China face great embarrassment, also reflects the Chinese seriously ill people the importance and urgency of the child welfare system.

"Quzhou ' infant Island '' opened island ' a few days later, it took over a dozen children. At this rate, a year down the Social Welfare Institute children could more than hundreds of people, far more than the actual capacity. "Quzhou city, Zhejiang Province Bureau of social welfare and disaster relief Department official said.

Lawyer Han Jingjing thinks Beijing juvenile legal aid and Research Center, in a way that's "baby island" is just a "piecemeal" approach. Really "cure", also aims to perfect the system of. At present, for the children's medical security initiatives and enhance its remaining shortcomings.

Zhan Chengfu, babies and young children are concerned, home is the best "safety island", and "baby island" only play the final fallback and cannot be "upside down".
