Bookstores Become Nanny to Abandoned Children
If you happen to be in a bookstore in China and notice a larger than normal amount of children without their parents, don’t be alarmed or worried.
Busy couples in Harbin, China, who don’t have time to watch their children while they are on vacation from school have decided to drop them off in the bookstores on the way to work and pick them up on the way home.
“It’s a safe place for him to spend time on vacation,” a mother surnamed Yuan said.
The bookstores don’t mind but they are a little concerned on the extra wear the books will go through in the hands of so many children.
No reports of any children missing or taken from the bookstores unwillingly.
