Don’t Wait Up

Hong Kong’s Cheung Han Son-mei agreed to babysit an 11-month-old baby for three months, and was paid HK$9,000 in advance. He’s apparently a good little boy: “I would happily take care of him for life,” Cheung says. She may have to: the mother has not come back for the boy, and it’s been four years now. Police are searching for the mother. (Reuters) ...Even without a raise, by the time the kid’s 18, the mother will owe her HK$606,000.
