Abduction in China

 The crimes that go on with no consequences.
         China and America are completely different countries. And yet an outstandingly horrible crime in American is completely okay with them it seems. And we all know that if this happened here in our states it would be a crime that could cause the death penalty if it is severe enough. And this crime is called kidnappings, or abduction. And yet it is so common their that its as if it is just another day. And this is crazy. It makes me feel sick that many children are being taken and I could not fathom the thought of losing my own family. And luckily for my friend Elmo he was able to keep his sister in their family because they live with their parents and grandparents. And I wish the best for them.
      And yes I am talking about the "one child policy" but it is much more than that. Your completely lucky if your siblings don't get stripped from your families arms. And this is completely sad due to the fact that "Chinese have a strong belief of family" said Elmo. And yet people do this so often. That "10,000 children are kidnapped each year" said the Chinese government. And yet it is up to the broken hearted parents to retrieve there lost children.
These cards are full of missing children.

      "In China, kids are abducted not for ransom but for sale" replied the foreignpolicy.com... Don't they understand that this is a horrible crime that should not go unpunished. And yes I understand that their population was such a growing issue,  that "in 2005, the country had an estimated 1,306,313,812 people" stated Kim Dramer,  and yes this is a very large number. But we as people inhabiting the planet should not be stealing young children from any country no matter what policy, rule, or standard we are supposed to follow. So why does it continue to be unpunished if it is affecting so many families and loved ones?
        Wells, hopefully their country will recognize that it should be a crime that ends with a punishment. Instead of letting it get to the point were thousands of children are being stripped from the homes they once knew to be sold like cattle in a auction house.

  1. It is so astonishing how one country can see a certain way and another a different way.

  2. I'm confused what that quote means by they aren't kidnapped for ransom, but for sale?

  3. It's pretty terrifying that this happens so often in China. I would be lost without all my siblings.
