Please note that I am not author of following information  related to above subject /title and I am reproducing for the sake of social awareness only.

We hear news about missing children quite frequently.

Where do they go?

Trafficking is one of the biggest trade & third largest profitable industry in the world today after drug peddling and sale of arms.

Why children are abducted?

The biggest reasons are;

• Child abuse & sexual exploitation

• Used as light weight camel jockeys in Arabic nations

• Organ trade and harvesting

• Ransom, as Indian economy booms so does rise in child abduction

• A case of Cannibalism has also been reported

• Human sacrifice to please gods

• Used as forced labor, domestic servants, work in factories

• Used as beggars by gangs after mutilations of hands & legs

• Child trafficking to international borders

• Forced into child marriages

• Illegal adoption

• Medical trials; yes it does happen

• Shipped and used as child soldiers in war prone countries to fight.

Child Safety Tips against abduction

• Always keep an eye on your children

• Tell your children not to wander off

• Instruct them not to talk to strangers

• Background verify home maids, auto / van drivers who commute your kid to school

• Make sure your child knows your name, address and contact number

• Do not make them wear provocative clothing that may appear attractive to older men

• If you are on Indian Railways, make sure you don’t completely dos off. Many children are kidnapped while both parents are sleeping.

• Instruct to ‘yell’ when the kid thinks that they are abducted.

To make this world a secured place for all children, need you to be ‘Alert & Aware’.

Please share this information with your near dear ones and relatives for more awareness.
