China's Stolen Children (EMMY-NOMINATED DOCUMENTARY) | Real Stories

With extraordinary access to devastated parents desperately searching for their stolen son; a man who brokers the deals and has sold his own offspring; and prospective parents grappling with giving up their soon-to-be-born daughter through lack of options, we are brought face to face with the crisis that such a stringent government policy has created among China's poorest people.

How is it that kids are getting stolen but the abandoned and abused babies in the orphanages are left to rot? Something is terribly wrong with this government. May God of heaven step in and deal justice to this wicked government!

[@conniethebarkingbeaverllc2160]

the children in orphanages are either disabled, girls or children of people who are serving prison time or are on death row and poverty. In Chinese culture shame is a big thing. When people fail, they not only lose their own face, but they shame all those around them.

Ikr? I guess it’s true what they say about committing crimes and having a seared conscience. The really heartbreaking part was about the young girls. I think if I had a daughter she would be handcuffed to me. The problem is that I understand they will even kidnap women who are already married and pregnant. They don’t care. I watched one video and this man went to some other country. I forget where. He talked himself up like he was a wealthy -movie producer or model ing agent. He told her he could get her work. He took her to his home which was little more than a shack. And since she couldn’t speak the language they would talk about her, his mother treated her like an indentured servant. The neighbors all watched her so she couldn’t escape, she was left with no money, no escape route, nothing. I don’t think I could stand myself.

@@siriusrainbow You see it is the cycle of tragedy... These countries are so poor that they cannot afford all of their kids, then sell them; The government saw these problems and write a one-child policy to forbid them selling their kids and put their limited resource on one child; Then they still create multiple babies and sell them... for making a living...; For the beginning of this policy, they abandon the female babies because the discrimination of women... then the female number in the all counties decreased... Finally, they found out that their son need a wife... so they found the kidnapper to do the kidnapping for them in other area. Specifically target for teenager girls...The wrong things is not done by the government, it just because none of these people has conscience... What happen even if the policy have not exist?

[@Wolfsheim23]

It's really the most disgusting thing about China and needs to be talked about everywhere. Nothing could be worse than having your child stolen, and sometimes right out of your arms while they tear them away and jump in a car and speed away, but the worst is that other Chinese people in public places do NOTHING to help. The police treat it with not much caring. It's considered less important crime than a robbery of a store. To them children are expendable. They need to wake up and pay attention to the problem as the rest of the world shames them and they get serious on stopping it.

[@jimajams7080]

The detective is a true hero. One honest lawman amongst so many corrupt ones. It's disgusting. I felt so sorry for the young couple having to sell their little girl. They just wanted her to grow up comfortable, successful and happy. I hope she has.

At first, my heart was breaking for the kidnapped children and their families, but I completely lost faith in humanity when multiple families wanted to sell their children. I can't imagine the circumstances these people are in, but are you kidding me? Talking about selling your newborn daughter, your one-year-old son, your six-year-old? I literally cannot imagine how damaged these children must be and I think it's safe to assume that the people who are buying them are going to be mistreating them to say the least. This is one of the most atrocious human rights violations I've heard of in a long time. In the years since this documentary was made, have there been any changes?

[@jadewang7287]

Sometimes they're not going to mistress them. Some families buy boy just because they want a son. They're going to treat them like their own. However, the biological parents were left heartbroken. In some cases, the kids were fond decades after abduction, but after getting reunited with their biological parents, they expressed the wish that they'd rather be with their "adoptive parents", for the bond built during all those years. There's a movie called 亲爱的(Dearest) talking about this issue. The situation is getting better than the time this documentary was filmed. But this phenomenon still exist.

[@Lifunia]

Jade Wang, thank you so much for recommending that movie. I'll have to watch it. I can't believe the pain of finally finding your child and discovering that your child rather would stay with the "new" family.

I an heartsick watching this doc.I had no real clue what the one child law would do to China. I was born in 1960. I was made aware of it in school in Australia. I knew it would skew the population, I knew that females could never be heads of their own households. Selling and buying children so that your family can live? Forced abortions in the last trimester? What kind of economic growth is worth this price? Bride Auctions? The preference for only sons made daughters the rarest of commodities; a bride for that son. Yet the trafficker told the family that girls were worth less than boys now that is skewed. If your shopping just walk up to the window and pick one out. Human beings being sold like fish and chips. I feel sick.The only thing that gives me any comfort is that there are that there are rescuers. The precious few that for whom a human life male or female must not be a commodity. The agent who "takes a small commission for his expenses and raising his son" I have no words! For the parents who are selling their baby because they don't have permits, The parents who supply the children selling 2 or 3, children who are being bought to keep and care for the new parents in their old age. The only way to get any child back is to do the police's job for them and present them with the perpetrators. I am, I have no words. To have to hang your hopes for being reunited with your child on a pack of playing cards with the other missing children feels cruel to me. This one child policy has devastated the culturally accepted filial responsibility methodology. I feel heartsick!

[@barbarawaldern1794]

1 child policy was being phased out anyway and it was finally repealed altogether in 2014. There were many exceptions, as I understand, especially for rural families and families lacking relatives through death/whatever, divorces/ separations, or where there was a disability/ illness in family, or first child died/ disabled and such.--meaning many mothers allowed to bear more than one child for a long time prior to the repeal of this law. still, the policy has a profound effect, no doubt--nation of so many only kids the sole focus of parents and elders, and without siblings.

I don't understand. If that neighbour was the last person being with the child, he is the one responsible. He could be held on a lesser charge, like abandonment of a minor at least a felony (he says he left him on his own on the street), if kidnapping cannot be proven. If jailed, he would start to sing. Having said that, since it is an organised crime, the police are in it up to their necks as well, they know exactly what happened but will not hold the guy responsible. Those people have pockets instead of hearts.

@user-qg8qg2sp7i as the mother of an adopted son, I am grateful for agencies such as yours, for bringing childless couples and children in need of loving parents, together.

[@Mooe-cb6bv]

The worst part is when she said I use to play with with him when he was bad and say she was going to send him away, and now he probably thought she meant it, that got me.

[@xyz7572]

That really got to me as well. You can tell that that’s really something that pains the mother a lot. I feel so incredibly sad for her.

[@2princessesaprince961]

i feel so sorry for that mother n father... and that law is absolutely ridiculous what would happen if a mom was pregnant with twins?!

[@regaloma5486]

That was permitted,

[@anearinginmy]

My heart aches for these children and parents.

[@jadewang7287]

anearinginmy Actually I feel really sorry for the little boy who’s father is a human trafficker. Imagine born in such a family, your little brother was sold by your own father, and he also breaks up others family by selling others children... and he ever thought about selling you too... that is so messed up.

[@deborahpalmer8298]

So gut wrenching to watch these poor parents. There's a special place in hell for the officials and snakes who sell humans as well as the buyers! Absolutely appalling! BEYOND my comprehension.

[@sairagarcia1434]

I'm a mother of two and when I hear that a child is lost I just pray that someone would find them and bring them home safe is horrible to know that someone child is being hurt or not safe at all

[@neweyes909]

I cant even imagine what these poor parents are going through! just heartbreaking!

[@AnotherWittyUsername.]

The Grandmother sitting on the floor wailing made me sick. If she had been watching the child like she was supposed to have been doing he wouldn't have been taken.

[@Zombiepup716]

Why I don't let my mom watch my child. I feel like I might come back to a missing child. I love my mom but sometimes she can be a little to careless of her surroundings. Don't think I could ever forgive my mother for losing my child tbh.

[@siewbengwee4530]

Yu dont think it will happen unless it happens

[@lindasharp8523]

When I looked after my sons girls I never took my eyes off them, ever!!!

[@fia8079]

I had 9 children 5 boys and 4 girls. I would never think to ever sell one. This is so sad that parents have to do this in any part of this world but it happens.

[@skupachak3409]

this one child policy has affected so many people. Those traffickers are shameless.

[@nannetteenriquez3402]

18:37 so heartbreaking..tears are tears in any language.

[@chrystalblu8631]

I would hate my mother if she was so careless with my kid. Why would she let a man take him? She knows kids get sold. She probably got money too.

[@MsCDante]

Lock the traffickers up and throw away the key.

[@cherylvoss9735]

This happens so much in China. There are always videos of kids being taken in malls or in public when the parents are holding on to the children tighty enough. It's so scary as i'm a parent myself. If I was in China, I would be so scared to leave the house with my son.

[@Jules.555]

This makes me so sad. 😢 I can’t even begin to imagine how it would feel losing one of my babies.

[@user-tj2ss8sv6o]

The grandmother probably knows more than what she's saying

[@miabehrens5229]

The young mum i wish I could help to keep her baby, how terrible. The detective has a beautiful heart and i like how he talks with his mum. God bless them

[@hiabove3967]

9:45 - I actually joke about the whole " ill give you away" i kids are naughty, and the mother is very dialect about it, which is true, the son probaly believes that now and I tear up when she said that he probalby is saying "ill be good mom, please , ill be good". I would be heart broke, I feel for this women.

[@smileyone1612]

I never even thought to ever say that to my children.

[@gr81cb86]

I am so sorry you have lost your child I pray to the Gods your son is brought home to your loving embrace

[@bglynch3176]

Heart Breaking! Warning to not give government power over our personal lives.

[@shernshigity]

If this is truth and that grandmother definitely sold her grandchild there's no way a grandmother is going to allow her children and grandchildren to go with the neighbor and bribed him in her face with candy please doesn't even make sense it's so messed up and sad and ignorant that people put money over life but when it comes back and things happen to them then it's another story but it always comes back

[@devarnaweirdo27]

The trafficker seemed so sad about the fact that he couldn't sell his elder son!! That really sucks, because of a law so may young lives and families had to suffer!

[@andylol7780]

you really need 10 ads in this?

[@andylol7780]

jeßus 2.0 I agree.

[@huma1790]

Andy lol I know right!!!! So annoying!!!!!

[@oanas7681]

Derek dear.... how can you say to a person "you are ugly" ??? Do you ever think at her's feelings ??!!!! What if she will lose her self esteem forever, or getting depressed, or even suicide ??!! You just can't hurt somebody's feelings on this brutal and primitive way !!!! I'm wondering how "beatiful" are you.... Oh, my God, I had right when I said: people are bad, just BAD!!!! they are having the ROOT OF EVIL in their heart !!! And she is not even ugly, by contrary!!! Is your soul being ugly and deformed....and frustrate....

[@oanas7681]

Andy , I'm watching youtube on chrome, just download "Addblock" and it's perfect !!! No adds, no stupid publicity !!! You should try it too... Peace and love! God bless

[@Koakoa45]

There are no ads inside any KZbin video

[@cutehonsome7510]

Heart breaking. Im a dad with three kids. My heart is crying so much.

[@trishloiacono8524]

I heard you all the way to Australia, and I'll pray for you both that your son is found, and the government over their better start to see us outsiders are watching and listening to these families , I'd say they better start listening too.

[@boredbeingbored894]

The baby wont have a good life regardless since she will later learn that she was sold by her own parents!! 😰😰 and who knows what this so called "nice" family really means? For all I know, he could be selling her to some brothel or something- and this trafficker really tops the list of the worst human on earth. How could he speak so calmly without any hint of remorse or guilt? 😱😱

[@shrubsteppers]

Well, it really isn't much different than the adoption industry in the US. In both cases babies are sold to the highest bidder, just in the US the bidders are given some minor vetting first and the birth parents don't get any of the money.

[@GizzMo12]

This is absolutely heartbreaking....

[@charlie-magnegumpal7572]

Talking about prices of babies! Disgusting! Just like selling a doll in a mall.

[@Cc-bm3qd]

Seeing this poor baby girl getting sold is so fucken terrifying! I can’t imagine! I hope she gets at least sent to a family who really will take care of her and not miss treat her in ANY WAY ! I have so much anxiety from this damn video!

[@migrantchick]

I cried for the family of Chen Jie. What a hopeless situation the victims of human trafficking experience.

[@beatanowak3679]

My child was taken away from me when he was 7 years old and I live in Garfield NJ USA.

[@rokhaya3770]

WHO TF SELLS THEIR OWN KIDS

[@lindaeljamal5790]

rokhaya in America they kill there kids..

[@frankyandme2]

FYI... lots of folk. And not just in China.

[@lightupskechers488]

rokhaya alot of messed up people and not just in china..

[@DfrUBCxgs4eAMepTu5ZdK3wgRKBd6B]

Americans sold their children too, in the past. If you have nothing, you do what it takes to survive.

[@foxibot]

What I wish is these parents could see all the people’s comments who feel for their suffering. And many, many good people want their children returned to them. And that we feel their suffering and outrage. That we have the utmost empathy for them.

[@emmalu9825]

Very good documentary. As a Chinese, I feel so sad about these people. Yunnan is very poor in China, but there are a lot of wealthy places in China too. The wealth gap is extremely large. What about justice? what about equity?

[@35Ryma]

The parents have gone through all thoughts any parent would losing a child. Its so heartbreaking.

[@annohalloran6020]

My god this is so heartbreaking

[@ekulda]

Very good film 👍 feel sad for all families in China that suffered. May they heal 🌺🙏

[@alansmlth7989]

Corrupt Law Enforcement and Traffickers should all be EXECUTED.

[@paulagizzarelli4711]

Please God find this beautiful little boy he is so missed and loved l am a mother i dont know what i would do i couldnt live no more we are so lucky to live in a country were we are allowed freedom of speech and able to have as many children as we want and we somewhat have help from police were are they going to go it makes me sick and breaks my heart especially when the man broke down unfortunately unless it happens to someone's child who is a police department or someone in the government then it would probably kept quite everyone is to scared good for the 31 people who protested

[@heatherzlotyh7267]

That boys grandma doesn’t seem too bright! She didn’t protect him after she knew that guy was trying to lure him away!

[@cocobutterchin6768]

That is another reason me and my sister never left our kids alone with our mother. She is like that grandmother.

[@samanthawoodman2121]

So the grandmother basically just stood there ? She saw him being kidnapped with her own two eyes did she not think it was suspicious

[@Hozanaa]

The trafficker sold his girl friend!!!! Sick demon.

[@gurlwhowants2dj]

I am wonder how no one went the neighbor and smacked him around a few times. I am angered how the mom and the grandmother is in pain, the government is not being helpful and the father seems like he already gave up.

[@DfrUBCxgs4eAMepTu5ZdK3wgRKBd6B]

They said he has triad connections. He is probably an influential person in the area and has a good relationship with the police too.

[@raewhitewolf]

Why are they feeding a newborn a bottle full of water?

[@evalinda5246]

raewhitewolf It could also be sugar water. This used to be a commonplace thing to feed one’s newborn infants way back when even here in the US/Western world, per doctor’s orders. And back before breastfeeding was over-emphasized within the healthcare system.

[@megsmarie60]

Eva Linda what do you mean over emphasized? Breast milk is the most natural and nutritious thing you could feel a newborn.

[@cocobutterchin6768]

Maybe Glucose water. Most foreigners give their new born babies with breastfeeding in those days

[@annashoptillidrop]

Maybe... they don’t care they’re selling it no need to spend money for milk.. the father even checked how much will it cost to sell a baby girl..what dah!!

[@micksmom2293]

Felt really sorry for the young couple. They had so few options.

[@Metonymy1979]

Wow! Such an amazingly powerful documentary. It was shot so beautifully that I thought it was a film several times.

[@meg7248]

My heart breaks for the families who are suffering from this :(

[@tuliko8678]

LOVE the detective's mum...listen to that SASS!!! :D

[@jessshoni6501]

How can parents sell their own children? This is just sad................

[@barbarawaldern1794]

Amazing how different societies can coexist and be centuries apart in thinking.Traditional way of thinking---family members represent monetary value and status for family: laborers for farm or workers for family business, dowry and potential to enrich family through marriage, or sons who build career/business---all property, assets. Well, I guess that's how some entrepreneurial types think in the West, too.

[@melissakelson332]

Poverty makes people so desperate things.. plus the fear of the authority’s, remember China is a communist country

[@xinj4883]

Praying for those kids! May they go back to their parents one day): there's one Chinese movie with Andy Lau as the leading character. How he searched for so many years, across china, for his lost Son. Feeling so sad watching this documentary ): human traffickers deserve death penalty! They have no idea how many families were destroyed by those human traffickers!!! )':

[@gailhandschuh1138]

The numbers of children abandoned or left behind with elders or on their own in the country with grandparents is a national shame and even if the government has ignored the problem, the parents and children are aware that moving into the cities for high paying jobs has taken a great toll on the family units. So the stolen or children sold by strangers or parents is just NOT CONSIDERED A OLICE ISSUE.

[@angusyates828]

So sad. The good people suffer and the rich and corrupt rule.
