BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities have rescued 89 trafficked minors as young as 10 days and the oldest 4 years and arrested 369 suspects after uncovering two child trafficking gangs, authorities said Wednesday.

The busts highlighted China's thriving black market in children — mostly involving buyers who want more children or those who want them as slave labor — that endures despite harsh penalties for traffickers, including death.

It was not clear from the reports posted Wednesday on the Ministry of Public Security website if sex abuse also might have been a motive. Calls to the ministry went unanswered.

One case stretched across 14 provinces in China and the other involved a trafficking ring that mainly sold children in Vietnam through neighboring Guangxi province.

5. The sad part is

this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. So much more of this goes undetected and unreported all over the world.

7. Now that's what I call good news in spite of the terrible situation of these children.

Thank goodness they saved so many of those poor children from a life of horror and how nice they arrested so many disgusting perverts and traffickers. Too bad they can't arrest every one of them on earth...they don't deserve to belong here.
Wish mankind could sentence them to hell if there was such a place.
