As many as 200,000 boys and girls are kidnapped in China every year and sold openly online, it’s been reported.

Child trafficking has been a long-standing problem in China, but despite the efforts of the authorities, the sinister practice is thriving, leading to thousands of families being torn apart.

The US State Department believes that 20,000 children are snatched every year – that’s 400 a week. However, Chinese state media says the figure could be as high as 200,000, according to the BBC.

Baby boys, who are preferred in China because they’ll ensure the family name remains intact, can sell for as much as £10,500.

1. Repukes should focus on that disgusting practice but instead...

Are fare more interested at destroying Net Neutrality. They make me sicker everyday.

2. How come China can keep it's citizen from traveling between villages and towns without permission

but they can't stop child kidnapping? They can keep their citizens in factories in slave like conditions from committing suicide but child snatchers are openly selling online?

Seems they've got their priorities wrong.

3. That's my second thought on this

How do they allow this?

My first thought - how sick that someone would 'buy' a baby. That's just sick.
