Fifth HK child sick from milk
HONG KONG - THE Hong Kong government says a fifth child has developed a kidney stone after drinking contaminated milk.

The government said in a statement Thursday that the 10-year-old boy is hospitalized in stable condition.

The latest case brings the number of kidney stone cases in Hong Kong to five.

Neighboring Macau has also reported a case.

The milk scandal started in China, where melamine-laced baby formula has sickened more than 50,000 children and been blamed in the deaths of four. -- AP
