Police in southern China have broken up a gang that abducted migrant workers' children to sell in distant provinces, state media reports.
Child trafficking is seen as a growing problem in China, despite government attempts to crack down on it. No matter how China government tried to get ride of the crimes of child trafficking.
"The children, mostly toddlers aged two or three years old, were snatched in Hunan province's Yueyang city while they were playing or sleeping. They were sold for between 860 yuan ($125, £86) and 26,000 yuan ($3,800), the Beijing News said.Five children had been rescued and 13 suspects arrested, Xinhua said. The children were snatched in broad daylight by gang members on motorbikes, it added.Police said they did not know how many children had been abducted altogether. The abductions began in September 2008, Xinhua reported." From the BBC news page, "Police crack China baby sale gang" First paragraph.
This is inhuman and crazy. 10,000 to 20,000 people are trafficked within China every year and that the vast majority are women and children. I cannot imaging how would that happened so easily and frequently. When I finish this article I can feel how grieved those family who lost their kids or women. It's terrible.
