Police assistance for hungry children in Zhejiang

Overview

In Zhejiang Province, China, police officers responded to an emergency call from a 12-year-old girl reporting that she and her 9-year-old twin brothers were hungry and had no food. The children had been left alone because their father was away on urgent business and their grandmother was working in a nearby town.

Responding officers from the Yaojiang and Diaojiang police stations arrived at the residence and found ingredients such as eggs, noodles, and flatbread. The officers prepared a meal for the siblings to ensure they were fed. To support the children's ongoing welfare, authorities coordinated with a local community canteen to arrange meals for the following day and contacted the father to discuss the importance of meeting the children's basic needs during emergencies.
