Hong Kong parents in welfare custody case say 2-month-old baby sick in hospital

The two-month-old baby of a Hong Kong couple involved in custody battles for their two children has been hospitalised after falling ill and could be tested for meningitis, according to his parents, who earlier caused controversy for failing to register the infant’s birth in the city and were arrested for alleged child neglect.The father of two-month-old Danny, Tsang Wai-bong, said on Monday that he and his partner Kwan Pui-sin were only allowed to visit their child in a shelter once a week and accused authorities of neglecting the baby’s need for breastmilk.According to the unmarried couple, Danny had developed a fever and a cough and was sent to Ruttonjee Hospital’s A&E department in Wan Chai at 3pm on Sunday. He was subsequently transferred to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan at about 10pm.
