One Northern Ireland caller to the helpline told the NSPCC about a toddler and child of primary school age whose mother drank every day until late in the evening while thechildren were in her care, sometimes passing out and not hearing when thechildrencried.
Chinese media said cranes were excavating the sites as childrencried for help from beneath the detritus and as ambulances waited together with frantic parents.
When the scientists set the same childrenthe marshmallow task at the age of five, they found that the kids who had cried also struggled to resist the tempting treat.
