Child Abduction Gangs Busted in China — 355 Suspects Arrested and 89 Children Rescued

(AP) — A national operation in China has busted nine child abduction gangs, arresting 355 suspects and rescuing 89 children.

China’s Ministry of Public Security said Monday that it conducted the nine-province operation in December after receiving reports of child abductions from southern China’s Fujian and Yunnan provinces.

The ministry said the child trafficking activities spanned several provinces and that the suspects bought abducted children in provinces including Yunnan and Sichuan and transported them to other provinces, where they were sold for huge profits.

The official Xinhua News Agency said that in one case, a 1-month-old baby boy from Yunnan province was sold for 62,800 yuan ($10,000) to a family in Fujian province. A baby boy could fetch as much as 90,000 yuan ($14,250), Xinhua said.

Despite severe legal punishments that include the death penalty, child trafficking is a big problem in China. The commerce is highly profitable for the traffickers, and the demand is strong, driven partly by the traditional preference for male heirs, a strict one-child policy and ignorance of the law.

Child buyers in China are not subject to criminal prosecution if they do not obstruct rescue efforts or mistreat the children, and legal experts are pushing for a law revision to make it a crime to buy abducted children, Xinhua reported.

In 2011, Chinese police rescued 8,660 abducted children.

Looks like that one child policy is working out very well for everyone, except maybe girls and women and all the boys being abducted. Ok, so the one child policy is working out really well for men, except single men looking for a wife…

As racist as is it to say this, I hate Chinese people. Americanized Chinese people are mostly cool. But mainland Chinese people are some of the most F’d up people on the planet. They ruin everything they touch like a cancer. I consider it national treason that we didn’t take on China during the Korean War, that we reestablished ties with them and exported virtually all of our jobs there. And no, I don’t give Republicans a free pass at all. Both parties in America need to go. They’re destroying us from within.

They are defenseless. Why has man killed and stolen babies by Every manner, for despicable things. In this day and age! No wonder they feel lost, suffering, no hope. Children of corn. Laws don’t change morals. Reap what you sow mankind.

Many of these abductors and traffickers are from the west, seeing an open money opportunity for these reprehensible acts. And commie-embracing AOL HUFFPOST recently recommended China as ‘the place’ to honeymoon for Americans. What a hoot.
