178 kids rescued in trafficking bust

Chinese police arrested 608 suspects and rescued 178 children in busts of two separate child trafficking networks, authorities said Dec. 7. Child trafficking is a big problem in China, where traditional preference for male heirs and a strict one-child policy has driven a thriving market in baby boys, who fetch a considerably higher price than girls. Girls and women also are abducted and used as laborers or as brides for unwed sons. Tens of thousands of children go missing every year. (AP)
