It is shameful that some local officials in Shanxi Province are suspected of shielding avaricious kiln operators in their illegal and brutal use of children.
The scandal would not have been exposed if the 400-plus fathers did not post a letter on the Internet 2 months ago, asking for public help to rescue their abducted children.

I am sorry that many of the retards in this forum responded so callously.
It is what I would have expected, but dis-heartening none-the-less.
the sad part is that many of them think they are being clever...:'(
Originally posted by sweet heraOur civilisation (that of the west), was built on slavery. Not just that of other countries people, but also of our own (Industrial revolution, anyone?).
Being an oppressed child myself😞I can relate to the topic, however, you should probably vent your spirit of helpfulness towards more local child enslavement issues...like making sure your neighborhood kids get an allowance😀😀😀
In a country like China, where corruption is rife, and poverty still very very much the norm, are we even still shocked to hear such stories ?
India is worse, emerging economy with more people than resources, and The middle east (while not economy driven) has children suffering every day due to various war issues.
.....and we won't mention Africa, or Darfur, shall we ?
All i'm saying is that child slavery, and civil rights abuse is the norm in most of the world, not the exception. Take this post, and treat it as you wish.
Originally posted by mikelomI read about it in the newspaper before you posted it, and didn't see any indication of what you were proposing we do. Sit here and say "Boo, China" from the comforts of our work/homes? If you have a solution, propose it. If you think we only care about that which we acknowledge on an internet chess site, get over it. If you're sharing information for those who missed it in the newspaper, thanks.
