22 Children Attacked At School

A number of knife-wielding attacks on children in various schools across China have occurred in recent years, underlining the shortcomings of the nation's mental health care system.

State-run news agency Xinhua has reported that Min Yingjun, 36, was arrested after he went on a stabbing rampage that left children and an elderly woman injured as they were walking to school on Friday morning. A post on Weibo, China's top microblogging site that's similar to Twitter, described the "vicious incident" that unfolded.

"One mental patient charged into a group of students on their way to school, hacked and injured one resident and 22 students," the post read.

The man who initially stabbed the elderly resident before attacking the children was eventually stopped by school guards.

No fatalities resulting the incident have been confirmed, an outcome that cannot be said for previous incidents that occurred in 2010 and 2011.

Last August, a daycare facility employee in Shanghai went on a similar rampage, injuring eight children with a box-cutter. The victims were between the ages of 3 and 4 years old, and they sustained injuries mostly to their necks and heads. Most were immediately rushed to the nearby Fudan University hospital for treatment. The woman accused of the attack was 30 years old and suspected of suffering from mental illness.

In March 2010, a stabbing spree in Fujian province made international headlines after a man brandishing a 10-inch knife attacked students at the entrance of their school, killing eight and critically injuring five.

If you were looking for this - Connecticut School Shooting Suspect Named Adam Lanza - and were under the impression that banning guns would stop attacks on school children, you deserve a refund from whomever taught you that only guns are used in school attacks.

The story above shows what you get from government healthcare and gun bans don't help.
