Drefaller Children's Guide in China sentenced to death - an outcry worldwide!

In a shocking judgment, a court in China sentenced a woman to death for the cruel trade with 17 children. The case, which took place between 1993 and 2003, caused a sensation in the nation and once again shows the grim reality of children's trading in China. According to the state broadcaster CCTV, Yu Huaying, who acted with two accomplices, was guilty of having plunged the parents and families into immeasurable despair while looking for their kidnapped children for many years.

The process revealed a shocking extent of despair and criminal energy. Despite their confession, a milder punishment for Yu was excluded because the severity of their actions and their effects on the families concerned were classified as exceptionally serious. This is not the first time that Yu was convicted of her crimes; Already last year she received the death penalty for the kidnapping of eleven other children. In the appeal procedure, it was revealed that she had kidnapped six other children, which only reinforced the severity of their offenses.

The death penalty is a controversial topic in China and repeatedly causes discussions internationally. The government has taken increased measures in particular in connection with the former one-child policy and the continuing problem of child trading in recent years. DNA analyzes have gradually contributed to bringing families together again, but cases like that of Yu show how pressing the problem is still.
