Police's Interest

Police have more interests to find people on gambling tables or prostitutes in hotels. They benefit either of bonuses or direct pocketing from money found. They receive no money by looking for missing children.

raised by tax but did little for people

The most impressive part of this vedio for me is one of the mother's speech who were searching for her two missing sons. She said the searching team didnt brought any trouble for the government but why they were shut down by the police. As a Chinese, I know that China has many darksides especially the problem in police station. I am angry with the fact that the government was raised by the citizen's tax but without put their full efforts to help the needed people.

So, what if China government excute criminals who kidnap child?

In China, the crimes like child smuggling and kidnapping usually will face a death penalty. So, will this journalist report something about "brutal" death penalty in China?

Tip of the iceberg: genocide in the making

In the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Article 6 states: "genocide" means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Obvious political agenda as usual.

Well-spotted James. An identical propaganda technique was used in coverage of the recent Chinese earthquake. Grieving parents were shameless used to spin a tale of Chinese government cause and disinterest in school children's death. When every western journalists report is critical of the government it's obvious why authorities won't co-operate. The pack of cards was just too reminiscent of the 'wanted Iraqi government officials' card pack after the illegal US invasion. CIA involvement?

Not blaming one child policy

Every coin has two sides. Despite the negative effect it impose on this issue, One child policy in China makes enormous contribution to the stabiliztion of the society. The problem is the buying markets exist in China, in rural villages, people are willing to empty their pocket to buy a boy even if they are poor to make a living. Becuase of the huge floating population in major cities such as Shenzhen, It becomes extremely difficult to get everyone registered. I will keep an eye on this issue.

Wake up chinese system

China faces the similar problem in terms of population, corruption etc etc. as compared to India and some other south american countries like brazil and venezuela. Child abduction is a huge problem in these countries as well. However human rights activities are allowed and to some extent protected where as China has never liked to accept its own faults. To those parents who have lost their children, they must do anything they could, it is their fundamental right.

How can we help?

I am deeply touched by the report, even though growing up in China we are well aware of the situation. Our family is extremely wary for our baby when we went to mainland China to see our family. My question is, is there a way we can help? Is there a internet repository one can set up for these missing children? What can we do to force a change in the situation?
