Officials in Hunan province recently broke up a child trafficking ring. From BBC News:
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.
