"After her son was kidnapped in 1988, a mother spent 32 years looking for him. Never giving up, she put up over 100,000 flyers and travelled across the country. But little did she know, she wasn't alone in this nightmare. As many as 200,000 children go missing in China every year, a number that links back to the 1970s, the one-child policy and a dangerous industry of child trafficking."
"The mother who spent 32 years looking for her missing son. What's happening to China's children? In this episode: -Nikwi Hoogland, Founder, Adoptiepedia -Jingxian Wang, Child Trafficking Expert"
A mother spent 32 years searching for her son after he was kidnapped in 1988. She put up over 100,000 flyers and travelled across the country in relentless efforts to find him. The individual case sits within a national crisis in which as many as 200,000 children go missing in China each year. The scale of disappearances traces back to demographic shifts and policies from the 1970s, notably the one-child policy. A lucrative and dangerous industry of child trafficking exploits these conditions, fueling abduction, sale, and long-term displacement of children.
