Parents who say their children were killed or made sick by tainted milk powder last year gather in the apartment of another affected family ahead of a memorial gathering for the victims on the outskirts of Beijing September 11, 2009. China was shaken last year by revelations that a toxic chemical added to substandard milk to allow it to pass quality controls had made nearly 300,000 children sick and killed six. Guo Caihong (L), 36, from Henan, said her daughter suffered from developmental problems from consuming the tainted milk. REUTERS/Nir Elias (CHINA HEALTH POLITICS)
