Baby sold to traffickers back with parents
Print Edition
A NEWBORN baby allegedly sold to human traffickers by an obstetrician in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province was returned to his parents yesterday.
Yang Jianlong, a police officer from Fuping County where the alleged trafficking took place, presented the child to his mother, surnamed Dong, and father, Lai Guofeng. The reunion took place at the county’s maternal health care center, where the child was born on July 16.
Yang said DNA tests confirmed the baby was the couple’s son.
The county government said the baby had been sold for 21,600 yuan (US$3,494) by the obstetrician, surnamed Zhang, on July 17.
Lai said Zhang told him the child had infectious diseases and a disability and persuaded him to abandon the child.
The baby was traded on to buyers in Shandong, Shanxi and Henan provinces, The Beijing News reported.
The final buyer, in Henan’s Anyang City, paid 60,000 yuan for the child, the newspaper said.
After the case came to light, nearly 50 families lined up outside the local police station to report similar cases, the newspaper said.
Zhang, 55, had her doctor’s license revoked and was taken into police custody along with three alleged buyers. Two other suspects are under residential surveillance.
Three senior hospital officials — director Wang Li, a deputy director and a worker union head, were removed from their posts.
