In recent years, news about traffickers and child trafficking has been reported frequently, and the attention paid to such incidents in society has remained high.
Because of the emergence of these conscienceless gangsters, many parents were separated from their own flesh and bones, and the whole family has since become fragmented, and even more, because they cannot accept this pain, some parents have chosen extreme ways to end their lives.
When it comes to child abduction, everyone hates these traffickers to the bone, such as Chen Lianxiang, who is "famous".
The septuagenarian began working as a trafficker at the age of 60.
In just two years, Chen Lianxiang abducted and sold 46 young children, during which she also killed a child, known as "China's first trafficker".
Until the time of arrest, Chen Lianxiang still said calmly, "If the child is lost, just have another one." ”
A short sentence, but it makes people feel chills behind their backs.
Such a heartbroken and ignorant mother is really terrifying.
Moreover, in the corner where we usually don't pay attention, we don't know how many "Chen Lianxiang" are peeking at these children in the dark.
Chen Lianxiang's birth experience
In July 1950, Chen Lianxiang was born into a very poor family in Fujian Province.
Chen Lianxiang's family has been farmers for generations.
When she was young, Chen Lianxiang had to go down to the field with her parents to do farm work, and she also had to go up the mountain to cut pigs and grass, carry water, and cut firewood.
According to her words, from childhood to adulthood, she never went to school for a day, and she never had a good day.
"I don't know what schools and classrooms look like, and when I was young, I never went anywhere but at home and in the mountains."
When she was a teenager, Chen Lianxiang finally had the opportunity to walk out of this poor and mountainous home.
This time, she was sent out of the house by her father and began to go out into society.
However, for Someone like Chen Lianxiang, who has never read a book for a day, the outside society is far less beautiful than she thinks.
Because she had no culture, Chen Lianxiang didn't know a single character, and she could only go around to do odd jobs in order to barely keep herself alive.
In the time since she came out of society for decades, Chen Lianxiang has not learned any skill, so she can only engage in some simple social work, but the nature of such work is both hard and boring, and the salary in hand every month is also pitiful, so Chen Lianxiang has never saved up excess spare money in her hands.
At the end of the last century, China's economic development was catching up with a good era of brilliant Tengda.
Around Chen Lianxiang, many small people she knew who were originally as mediocre as her also took advantage of this shareholder's wind to make a fortune, transformed from a poor person, and suddenly became a "rich family" with a house and a car.
In this regard, Chen Lianxiang was quite red-eyed, and at the same time, she felt that fate was really too unfair to people.
Even though she has been working hard outside the home for decades, her life is poor and depressed day after day.
With more and more people getting rich around, Chen Lianxiang also has an almost crazy thirst and obsession with money.
Later, by chance, a gang of traffickers noticed Chen Lianxiang.
In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Lianxiang is kind and kind, and he is also simple and generous, such a person is extremely easy to get along with and accepted in daily life.
In the eyes of human traffickers, people like Chen Lianxiang are the best candidates in their own teams to get close to the goal.
So the traffickers planned to invite Chen Lianxiang to join the gang.
When these traffickers first found Chen Lianxiang to explain their intentions, Chen Lianxiang was still startled by their bold idea, and there was still some scruples in his heart, so he did not immediately agree to their invitation.
But as the days became more and more bitter, Chen Lianxiang hesitated back and forth several times, and finally chose to join the gang of traffickers.
Chen Lianxiang: China's first trafficker
Since 2009, Chen Lianxiang and her gang have been abducting and trafficking children in several parts of China.
According to Chen Lianxiang's own account, in just 2 years, she abducted and sold as many as 46 children.
When she first started committing the crime, Chen Lianxiang still had a trace of guilt and uneasiness in her heart.
But the first time he successfully abducted a child, it brought Chen Lianxiang a very considerable profit.
Thinking of those people around him who became rich overnight, Chen Lianxiang believes that he has finally found the right "business opportunity" to make money.
After waiting and seeing, Chen Lianxiang found that no one had discovered her criminal facts, so she continued to do this business of abducting and trafficking people with a fluke mentality.
Later, with the increase in the number of crimes, Chen Lianxiang not only made a lot of money by abducting and selling children, but also gradually explored a set of methods specifically for abducting and selling children, and the location of the crime spanned the scope of nine provinces.
Gradually, she became more arrogant and proud.
According to Chen Lianxiang, she usually sets the location of the crime in a small town or a rural area.
"There are many left-behind children in the countryside whose parents are not at home, they are generally brought by grandparents, and the vigilance of the elderly is not so high, which is easier for us to start."
The children are very innocent, most of them are very good at coaxing, giving them some nice toys or candy, or showing him some cute little animals, it won't take long to get them in the car. ”
Chen Lianxiang took advantage of this innocence and curiosity of children to abduct many left-behind children.
In Chen Lianxiang's trafficking gang, everyone has their own division of labor.
Some people are specifically responsible for "abduction", and some people are specifically responsible for "selling", and people at the first level have been docked in this way, almost forming a mature and huge industrial chain.
But not all kids are so good at cheating.
When encountering some clever children, when they were not paying attention, Chen Lianxiang and her gang dared to directly snatch the children away.
"We usually walk between the streets and alleys to see, first step on the point to find out the situation, which are brought by grandparents, and which are adults who are not at home during work hours, after a period of understanding, the situation in this area is basically familiar to us."
We will specifically pick some good-looking, clever children to start, so that they can sell for a better price.
Some of them can't move, and when no one is there, they directly knock the children away, and the children of several years old have no ability to resist at all. ”
The reason why Chen Lianxiang dared to "rob people" so blatantly in broad daylight was because there were always gangs behind her who were ready to respond to her at all times.
"After people grab hands, someone will pick us up in the back, we will leave here by car, without stopping, directly take the highway to another place, and when the adults find out, they basically can't find us."
Chen Lianxiang put on her kind coat and frantically abducted and sold children.
In her eyes, these innocent and kind children are just tools for her to earn money.
The legal net was restored, and the omission was not leaked
Chen Lianxiang committed so many crimes that the impact was extremely bad.
After the Ministry of Public Security investigated through various means, it quickly set its sights on 10 suspects of major trafficking in women and children, including Chen Lianxiang.
In the end, Chen Lianxiang was listed by the Ministry of Public Security as a national A-level wanted criminal, and issued a wanted order for him, holding a network-wide wanted notice.
Since the news of Chen Lianxiang's wanted arrest was released, it has attracted the attention of the local public security bureau in Fujian Province at the first time, and soon adopted various measures such as visits, notices, and other measures to effectively carry out work, and also arranged for plainclothes police to patrol the places where various suspects may appear.
On October 18, the police received a tip-off that Chen Lianxiang had appeared in Shangsi County, Fangchenggang, Guangxi.
Upon receiving this news, the police immediately organized police forces to rush to Guangxi to arrest the criminals.
On October 20, after the police arrived in Guangxi, they immediately carried out close exchanges and cooperation with the public security organs of Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Province, and finally arrested Chen Lianxiang as a human trafficker at the exit of a tunnel in the fifth lot of the Qinchong Expressway.
The legal net was restored, and the woman who had lost her conscience was finally arrested.
Although Chen Lianxiang did not kill anyone, in fact, the crimes she committed in her hands were no less than those executioners.
46 children, behind which are 46 families.
According to the statistics of the "Baby Home" public welfare organization, nearly ten children are missing every day in China, and more than 40,000 families are looking for their children, some of whom know that they have been abducted and sold, and have been on the way to find their own families.
The children themselves have limited resistance, and the traffickers' trafficking methods are endless.
Even in large cities with good public security such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, there are often human traffickers who are haunted.
This number is constantly accumulating and increasing every year.
For every additional child who is trafficked, there is a broken family behind it.
If you have the misfortune to bump into it once, it is a nightmare that accompanies a family for the rest of its life.
Fortunately, Chen Lianxiang was eventually caught, otherwise there would be more children who would be poisoned by him in the future.
Chen Lianxiang did not have the slightest remorse when he was arrested, and even said to the police in an innocuous manner:
"If the child is lost, just have another one." I didn't kill anyone, and you still want to do something to me. ”
Up to this moment, Chen Lianxiang still didn't think he was wrong.
After being caught, the police interrogated Chen Lianxiang overnight.
The police first asked Chen Lianxiang, "Why do you want to abduct and sell children?" ”
Chen Lianxiang told the police, "From childhood to adulthood, I was poor and afraid, and I abducted and sold children for money quickly, and my life was simple. ”
The police then asked, "Do you know that it is illegal to abduct and sell children?" ”
At this moment, Chen Lianxiang's answer made everyone present feel cold.
"A child, what's the big deal, the child is not another one, this is not a big deal, I did not treat them how." 」
When the police asked Chen Lianxiang about where the abducted children were, Chen Lianxiang bluntly said that she "did not know."
Chen Lianxiang said:
"I'm only in charge of kidnapping, and there are special people who are responsible for negotiating prices with buyers to sell children." Those people never allowed us to ask about that link, saying that we didn't need to know so much, just because we were afraid that we would get into trouble later. ”
The police asked again, "Have you ever thought about what happened to your children after they were abducted and sold by you?" ”
Chen Lianxiang replied:
"I don't know where they've all been sold, but I know that every year there are buyers from all over the place, some from the city and some from the countryside.
Some people don't have children themselves, so they want to buy one to pass on for themselves. Bad luck is to fall into the professional begging organizations and become their tools to make money. ”
Chen Lianxiang also said that most traffickers will specially pick some children who look more healthy and clever.
"Those who are more well-dressed, as well as those who look healthy and smart, will generally target this type of child." Each child sells for a different price, but the price of these children is definitely more expensive than the ordinary, and it can be sold for more money. ”
The police also asked About Chen Lianxiang, "In the course of your crime, did you kill any children?" ”
At this time, Chen Lianxiang was silent for a while, and then nodded weakly.
"It's not that every turn is going well. Once, in the process, there was a child crying too loud, how to coax can not be good, we are afraid that he is too moving, and one of my partners is more afraid of things, so we directly threw the child into the river and drowned. This matter was done by my accomplice, not me, I did not kill anyone, this matter cannot be counted on my head. ”
Although Chen Lianxiang had once been a mother, she had done many such inhuman things, and the degree of her disregard for life and the innocuous answers during the interrogation were also shocking.
The court pronounced the verdict and sentenced him to prison
On June 22, 2011, the Pingtan County People's Court in Fujian Province pronounced a verdict on Chen Lianxiang's abduction and trafficking of children.
The prisoner, Chen Lianxiang, was sentenced to 10 years and a month in prison and fined 3,000 yuan for the crime of child abduction.
At this point, Chen Lianxiang's case finally came to an end.
However, many netizens in the society are not satisfied with the court's judgment on Chen Lianxiang.
"For a family, children are the lifeblood of their parents, Chen Lianxiang abducted and sold 46 young children, and also killed two children, such a social tumor, why does the law not sentence her to death?"
In addition, some netizens proposed, "The fine of three thousand yuan is too slight a punishment compared to the remuneration obtained by Chen Lianxiang for abducting and selling children, and such a punishment is difficult to guarantee that some people will continue to take the road of crime in disregard of the law in the future." ”
As for the reason why Chen Lianxiang was not sentenced to death, it is that the nature of Chen Lianxiang's case is extremely bad, so it has aroused widespread concern throughout the country.
Among those who are concerned, in addition to the people, are some traffickers who have already committed crimes.
If the law punishes Chen Lianxiang severely, it may lead to those traffickers feeling that they have been pushed to extremes by the law, and finally kill all the abducted children.
Moreover, considering that Chen Lianxiang was old, after much deliberation, the court only sentenced Chen Lianxiang to ten years' imprisonment, hoping that she would repent well in prison.
Later, after trial, it was ascertained that during the period of serving his sentence, convict Chen Lianxiang was able to conscientiously abide by laws and regulations in prison, actively accept education and reform, and participate in ideological, cultural, and vocational and technical educational activities.
In 2015, Chen Lianxiang was also awarded prison praise for her positive performance in trying to complete her labor tasks.
Confirmed by the evidence of the prison's monthly review form for convicts, the annual review form and the reward and punishment approval form, the Fujian Provincial Women's Prison said that Chen Lianxiang did show repentance.
Later, the enforcement organ proposed that the repentance of the convict Chen Lianxiang during his prison sentence showed that the facts were clear and the evidence was sufficient, so it proposed to commute the sentence of the convict Chen Lianxiang, which also complied with the relevant provisions of the law.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, the court finally ruled as follows: Chen Lianxiang, the convict, should be released on parole.
The duration of the parole test begins on the date of parole, i.e. from 29 September 2016 to 19 May 2019.
At the same time that the news of Chen Lianxiang's parole came out, it also caused an uproar in society again.
In just a few years, Chen Lianxiang came out of prison intact.
Chen Lianxiang stepped out of the cage that imprisoned her, and she saw the light of day and gained her freedom, but some innocent children may still be in danger.
