Plea for missing kids

THIRTY parents from across China have come to Beijing to seek the government's help in finding their missing children, some of whom were abducted when they were just months old.

The group, which met through a website featuring missing children, yesterday unfurled on a Beijing street a 100-meter-long banner containing photographs and information concerning almost 100 lost children.

Some are the children of the group in Beijing, while the rest are sons or daughters of other members of www.baobeihuijia.com, a Jilin-based forum used by more than 2,000 distraught mothers and fathers.

Having searched for their offspring without success across China, the group finally decided to come to Beijing.

One 44-year-old mother, surnamed Wang, from Shanxi Province, said she had crossed five provinces looking for her son, who went missing when he was eight.

Wang said an individual's power was very limited, especially if children were abducted by human traffickers, and called for more help from government, reported Beijing News.

She hoped a nationwide database of missing children could be established.
