Recently, police have arrested 17 men suspected of major child kidnapping organizations. in the past couple of months, concern over kidnappings has increased due to a problem weith scaming. As it turns out, kidnappers are trying to fool the parents of young kids by calling them and demanding money.
Yet, the real problem is wether these kidnappings are real or not. real kidnapings happen often, and their brutality often kills the children. it is a tough choice to make, so most people assume that it is real.
In one of the latest kidnappings, a man named Gu got a phone call from a mysterious man telling him that they had his son. he said that it was so realistic because he heard a child crying in the background. he immediately transfered 50,000 yuan, and later he found out that it was only a scam. He states that the problem is primerily affecting the poor, because they have no money, but are willing to pay to get their child back.

wow this is really gnarly. its ridiculous how far people will go to get money, and how little the government can do when it comes to scammers. i feel that it is constantly the poor that are getting attacked because they don't have the power to fight back.
