Parents of 3-year-old who died in hospital seek criminal charges

The parents of a boy who died at a private children's hospital in Beijing last year want police to file a criminal charge against the doctor suspected of causing the 3-year-old's death.

The incident caught public attention as several unnatural deaths recently in Beijing have raised concern whether the government's supervisory role is effective.

The parents took the boy to Beijing Shouer Liqiao Children's Hospital in Shunyi district on Oct 23 for dental treatment. The parents said the boy died during the treatment but the hospital didn't give any explanation for the death.
