Posted on April 30th, 2008 by Paul Bernish
SHANGHAI – China said Wednesday that it was investigating whether hundreds or perhaps thousands of children from poor areas in the southwest part of the country were sold to work as slave laborers in booming coastal factory cities.
Authorities in southern Guangdong Province, near Hong Kong, said they had already “rescued” more than 100 children from factories in the city of Dongguan, a huge manufacturing center known for producing and exporting toys, textiles and electronics.

This is a stunning, almost unbelievable story, especially when you think that the 2008 Summer Olympics are soon to open in Beijing. This is one of those situations when the U.S. could exert moral leadership by withdrawing from the Olympics . . .
You allow these astranged people to put children into slavery but their own biological parents can’t even spank them. While the law is in our homes you are damaging our children and destroying the liberyt of parents. These children are allowed to sell and use drugs,u kill adults, rob and attack adults in all forms but the adult will be arrested if they fight them back to defend themselves. What kind of nation is this to infiltrate our rights as parents but this perverted caucasian can sell our children for slaves. The department of human services operated a civilized slave camp through our homes and parenthood. Who the hell do America think she is? You got a lot of nerve. The children would be more organized if you’d mind your own business and creat jobs instead of bullshit.
