I think those are more isolated cases that nobody knew about in order to help. It 'we' had known then 'we' would have help. The government has programs in place to help.
The Chinese story was a 'bystander' one.
Johnny might confirm or dispute this but there are no charities or united way in China. Or drop-in center or foster care. You're on your own.
