Babies Saved From Trafficking in China

Chinese police have saved the lives of thirty-seven infant babies and a three-year-old girl. Wednesday, they had busted the trafficking of these children in handbags and suitcases. Reportedly back in July of 2014, a group of suspicious pregnant women were kidnapped and forced to give birth in an abandon factory. The police stated that they have found an "underground delivery room," and other evidence such as diapers.

Due to the terrible conditions the babies were exposed to, most of them suffer from HIV/AIDS, and/or malnutrition. The babies had a diet that consisted of instant noodles, and leftover vegetables. This is because they are taken from their mothers' right after birth.  Also, there have been reports to where the babies traveled, from the factory, to a hospital, and to a nearby suburb where they were kept. The criminal gangs involved with this "dealing," police have allegedly detained 103 people that were suspected. The Chinese law states that the child traffickers could face up to 10 years in prison, or sentenced to death all depending on how many children they had sold. The Chinese government have noticed the increase in child trafficking and are making it an effort to put a stop to it.
