Baby trafficking in China

The fake adoption websites were selling babies in  China, where where a one-child rule has made baby trafficking a thriving enterprise. Recently Authorities said 382 babies were rescued and 1,094 people were arrested in connection to their abduction and sale. The suspects could potentially face the death penalty, the harshest punishment for baby trafficking, if found guilty.

The bust was a part of a six-month operation that started when police in Beijing and Jiangsu began following the bogus private adoption websites. Some of the buyers were connected through a Chinese instant messaging site and online forums.

Scary right? It really makes me sad – if you are a parent you’ll understand how I’m feeling right now. Cant imagine losing a child to these criminals!!! I’m glad the Chinese authorities are doing something about it now. These 328 babies are so lucky to be recused. My heart goes out to those parents who have lost their babies to these criminals!
