In the case of abduction and trafficking of women and children, whether the punishment of the buyer was too light or not, after the success of Sun Haiyang's search for a son, many people said that the buyer should be sentenced, after all, there is no transaction without a buyer, but in practice, the bribe is abducted and sold

In the case of trafficking in women and children, whether the bribe-taker's punishment was too lenient

After Sun Haiyang's successful search for a son, many people said that the buyer should be sentenced, after all, there is no transaction without the buyer, but in practice, the sentence of buying abducted women and children is often shocking.

According to the Penal Code, the maximum penalty for bribing abducted women and children is three years' imprisonment. The Supreme People's Court once released a typical case, Cai Shunguang purchased the victim Wang Moumou as his wife in 2008, and after the public security organ received the report, Cai Shunguang transferred the victim to the victim and the victim was rescued two years later, and the victim gave birth to a baby boy after being rescued and handed over to Cai Shunguang's mother to raise. The judgment states that because Cai Shunguang did not destroy or abuse the victim after bribing the victim and wanted to form a stable marriage and family relationship, he could be given a light punishment and finally sentenced Cai Shunguang to eight months in prison. Cai Shunguang's purpose was to form a marriage and family relationship, but the victim's wishes were not taken into account, and the judgment based on this lighter punishment was biased. Bribing the woman and obstructing the rescue, successfully completing the succession, only eight months in prison, the sentence is equivalent to stealing an Apple mobile phone, buying a spoke tortoise, the cost of crime is too low, there is no deterrent.

In judicial practice, many buyers who buy women and children are not punished at all. On the one hand, the statutory maximum sentence is three years imprisonment, the statute of limitations is only five years, and many cases have passed the limitation period more than ten years later. Moreover, because the acts of detention, abuse, and rape after bribery occurred within the family, there is very little evidence such as witness testimony, and it is difficult to verify after the crime. On the other hand, most of the abducted children have regarded the buyer as their biological parents and are reluctant to hold the buyer responsible, and the judicial organs should also consider the social effects in reporting the case to avoid triggering new social conflicts, so some buyers have not been prosecuted or sentenced to suspended sentences.

Trafficking and bribery of women and children has caused countless family breakdowns, and many abducted children have suffered secondary injuries after their biological parents have been recovered. Today, when such cases occur frequently, we hope to pay more attention to prevention at the source, give support from the law and system, strike hard, and severely punish according to law.
