Govt improves safety for toddlers

Authorities have zero tolerance for abuse of children in care centers

Authorities will step up oversight of infant care centers to ensure the safety of toddlers, an official said on Friday, as the country moves to bolster the growth of care services for children under three years old.

China will encourage more services for toddlers to bolster support for families and meet growing public demand, according to a guideline published by the General Office of the State Council on Thursday.
