Parents take kids to hospital in Beijing

Chinese parents take their kids to a childrens' hospital in downtown Beijing December 2, 2008. China has dramatically raised the toll from its tainted milk powder scandal, saying six babies likely died and 300,000 were sickened, figures that back up months of complaints from parents and show the government is beginning to acknowledge the scale of the crisis, according to the Health Ministry.
