Chapter 144 The Missing Child (3)
The shocking facts and data shocked Sun Liang...
With a "bang", his fist hit the table heavily!
A burst of anger burned in his heart!
The uncontrollable hatred for the human traffickers made his blood boil and he could no longer sit still.
It was raining heavily outside the window, with raindrops as big as beans hitting the glass...
Through the raindrops on the window glass, he seemed to see the scenes of those abducted children sitting on the streets begging; he saw the scenes of the defenseless children being beaten by the traffickers...
Their lives have just begun!
They deserve to have a wonderful childhood, youth...
The police’s responsibility is to eradicate these social scum, punish these scum, and create a good and safe living space for the people!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get very excited. He stood up and paced back and forth in the office!
To this day, transnational human trafficking, a modern “slave trade,” not only exists, but has become one of the fastest-growing and most profitable crimes in the world, involving every continent!
For the sake of money and to obtain huge profits, these criminals are so abominable! No wonder the people in China have repeatedly called for:
"Any criminal who traffics women and children will be shot!"
This appeal was echoed by many people. They harbored a deep hatred for those inhumane criminals. There were numerous online reports of human traffickers being apprehended on the spot, yet police were unable to safely get them to police cars... because the public's hatred for them had become a thousand iron fists striking back at them...
However, despite this, the traffickers continue to commit crimes without shame - greedily eyeing the young boys and girls, the children that their parents cherish as treasures...
For example, he was looking at data on cross-border human trafficking crimes in the Mekong region.
As countries in the Mekong region have successively opened their borders for economic exchanges, the transnational trafficking of women and children in the region has developed rapidly and the situation is serious.
As the situation develops, criminals have shown many differences in their methods, targets, directions, geographical distribution, and types of crimes compared to the past...
China's Y and G provinces are adjacent to the Mekong River and are surrounded by several countries, including M, L, Y, T, and J.
These countries have uneven political and economic development levels, imbalanced population gender ratios, and diverse historical development, ethnicity, and religious cultures...
Since the 1990s, countries surrounding the Mekong River have successively opened their borders, and their economic benefits have significantly improved. At the same time, transnational human trafficking crimes have also increased sharply.
Over the past decade, the transnational crime of trafficking in women and children has developed rapidly against the backdrop of globalization.
UNICEF believes that some border areas of countries in the Mekong sub-region are important outflow, inflow and transit points for human trafficking crimes. It is estimated that the people trafficked in this region accounts for about one-third of the global human trafficking crimes!
China has always been merciless and resolute in its crackdown on the crime of trafficking in women and children, and has shown no leniency... After years of severe crackdowns, the crime of trafficking in women and children has been effectively controlled across the country, and was even basically eradicated at one point.
However, since the 1980s, with the development of my country's society and economy, under the combined influence of multiple negative factors, this type of crime has resurfaced and is showing an increasing trend year by year.
China's Y Province, located in the Greater Mekong Subregion, has 25 border counties (cities) across eight border prefectures and cities, bordering several provinces (states) and dozens of counties (towns) in countries M, L, and Y. This close regional connection has led human trafficking organizations to exploit this region as a hub, transit point, and both a point of origin and destination for transnational human trafficking. It also serves as a "corridor" for Southeast Asian traffickers to transport abducted children and women from mainland China to Hong Kong and Macau.
An analysis of solved cases reveals an increasing trend in the proportion of women among criminals involved in transnational trafficking of women and children along the border of Province Y in the Greater Mekong Subregion. These female criminals often present themselves as friendly, enthusiastic, and worldly-wise, easily compromising victims and leading them to fall prey to deception.
There are also some women who were originally deceived, but in the process of being deceived and humiliated, they were gradually brainwashed, and from being deceived and coerced at first, they actively engaged in and planned crimes in pursuit of huge profits.
At the same time, as the source of women and children decreased, it was no longer possible to complete the abduction task alone. The criminals gradually developed from the initial loose crime to gang crime, forming a relatively stable organizational structure.
Among them, some are responsible for "abducting" people at the place of abduction;
Someone is responsible for transit transportation;
Someone is responsible for "selling" at the turning point...
A one-stop network of deception, purchase, pick-up, transfer and sale has been formed.
After the case was solved, it was discovered that under normal circumstances, it was the female traffickers who instigated and lured the victims, and then the male gangs picked them up, transported them, and handed them over to the contacts in other places for sale.
The strong demand in the underground market has led criminals to become increasingly cunning and violent in their methods of abducting people.
Some of them deceive their victims through deception and fraud;
Others use threats, taking advantage of vulnerable situations, kidnapping and other means to coerce victims;
There are also some human traffickers who abduct children by offering money or benefits to their guardians;
In order to achieve their abduction goals, human traffickers even resort to kidnapping, killing the children's parents, and other means of forcibly taking the children away.
The materials show that during one abduction, the traffickers, seeing that the parents refused to comply and failing to seize the child, killed the parents on the spot...
As for the victims of abduction and trafficking, there are women and children.
Among the abducted girls, some were working in rural areas; others were young girls working away from home or studying in school;
The abducted children include newborn babies and older children with certain working abilities; some are healthy and some have physical or intellectual disabilities.
It is estimated that young children are more likely to be abducted and successfully sold by human traffickers. Therefore, the age of the victims is getting older and younger - from infants who have just reached their full-term age to children as young as three or four years old...
Looking at the crime trends, China is a destination for transnational trafficking of women and children, while other countries are primarily destinations for trafficking. However, women and children abducted from China are destined for Europe and America.
Country T has become a "distribution center" for human trafficking in the Greater Mekong Subregion. Many illegal trafficking cases are transferred here and eventually flow to countries M and R.
