Sterilise Them

Once I overheard a child telling her teacher that when her brother was sick, he was taken care of but when she was sick, no one wanted to take care of her. This is not uncommon in a Chinese family.

What sickens me is also the mother's unwillingness to take her daughter home after school punctually, avoiding calls and abusing her mother-in-law to pick up the girl, making her even less popular in the family.

I remarked, "How can we help? We can't cull them, nor can we sterilise them!"
One of the staff said, "I wish we can sterilise them! They can stop this ridiculous cycle!"
