Abstract
A Beijing nursery, a branch of the well-known RYB Education chain, is recently accused of giving injections and feeding drugs to toddlers. This event comes weeks after a Shanghai childcare centre (which is affiliated to China‘s largest online travel company Ctrip) was alleged to have abused several toddlers. Those children abuse events sparked outrage in China. It is reported that 19 similar cases have occurred in the PRC in 2017 and the scandals shed light on how the lack of relevant laws and regimes could lead to lapses in oversight at the country‘s day care centers. This essay discusses the children abuse events and examines the current legal infrastructure of the PRC on the protection of children. Suggestions are made on how to establish or modify relevant laws and regulations in order to give more effective protection to children in the future. Comparisons are also conducted among different countries or regions on relevant laws and institutions.
