Intern sorry for baby pictures

A college in East China has issued a public apology for a student who caused an uproar online by posting photographs of newborn babies being held in a dangerous manner.

Xiao Shiyu, 22, who had been working as an intern at the Children's Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University's medical school, uploaded the pictures to Sina Weibo and can be seen holding the babies upright by the shoulder, leaving them with no neck support.

"The student violated the procedural rules of newborn care and the ban on taking cell phones into hospital wards," read a notice posted on Sunday on the Zhejiang Chinese Medical University website.
