On March 17, 2003, a shocking baby trafficking case in Guangxi collapsed in Yulin. According to an anonymous tip, police found 28 babies in a long-distance bus, one of whom died, all of whom were put into sleeping pills and transported in snakeskin bags. After Haolao was discovered, more than 150 people, including the main culprit Xie Deming, were held legally responsible.
This case reveals the seriousness of human trafficking and highlights the impact of inadequate social security on children's development. In the past 20 years, the mainland has made great progress in this regard, but if we want to completely eradicate such incidents, we still need to start by improving the social environment.
On 17 March 2003, according to anonymous sources, the Guangxi traffic police stopped a long-distance bus carrying from Yulin to Anhui and found several snakeskin bags with audible cries under the luggage rack. Sure enough, there were 28 babies inside. Doctors' examinations showed that all the babies were taking sleeping pills orally, and their lives were dying, and their hands and feet were tied, and there was no humanity at all. Only 27 babies were rushed to the hospital in time, and one died.
Investigation revealed that the case was carried out by a large-scale online baby trading syndicate. The main culprit, Xie Deming's home is in Fumian District, Yulin, and he used his home as a base to collude with medical staff to steal newborn babies. Later, through the network of human traffickers, he cooperated with a series of gangs from other places to sell to other places, the price doubled, the methods were cruel, and the baby was given sleeping pills to avoid crying and betraying himself.
During the trial, Xie Deming insisted that his actions were lawful, believing that the baby girl was worthless and could be sold for money. Its ruthless rhetoric shocked society. The court sentenced the main offender, Xie Deming, to death on the basis of the extremely heinous nature of the crime. This case is regarded as the largest baby sale case in Guangxi's history.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Netizens said: Anonymous whistleblowers should be rewarded, and the reporter is great.
Netizens said: Buying a baby is the same crime as selling a baby, see if there are any traffickers.
Netizens said: The harmfulness of human trafficking and the sentencing standard should be raised to or even higher than the height of drug trafficking.
Netizens said: At the root, isn't it caused by the word patriarchy?
Netizens said: So the country is still too tolerant of human traffickers, otherwise there are still traffickers trafficking children to this day.
Write at the end
The reason why this tragedy happened is that the social environment and the influence of some parents' thoughts are the deep-seated reasons. In some remote rural areas, newborn girls are often seen as a burden on families due to the entrenched traditional concept of "preference for sons". In addition, in some areas, social assistance is insufficient, and it is difficult to support abandoned babies, thus providing conditions for the sale of infants.
In recent years, the mainland has invested heavily in the construction of social security systems such as targeted poverty alleviation and "two exemptions and three guarantees", and the idea of gender discrimination among children has also been improving. However, some inland areas and small towns still need to be strengthened. In addition, it is fundamental to strengthen the promotion and education of childbirth, eliminate inappropriate concepts, and improve the social economic system.
On the whole, the mainland has made great progress in this regard in the past 20 years. However, in order to truly prevent the occurrence of such incidents, it is still necessary to improve the social environment as the main line, effectively solve the hidden problems of society in various regions, and create a good atmosphere for every child to grow up equally. Only in this way can we truly ensure that every new life can grow happily in this world. All sectors of society also need to work together to protect the rights and interests of children and escort them to grow up.
