Child Stealing in China

The L.A. Times reports:
The reasons for the terrible growth industry in child trafficking are as varied as they are disturbing. In a country that earns millions of dollars a year from foreign adoptions, some children end up abroad. Others remain in the country, especially in rural China, where having a son is still seen as a must for inheritance, carrying on the family line and tending relatives' graves. But girls are also in demand in areas where men significantly outnumber women, as wives, caregivers for older relatives and for families that already have boys.
Maybe if China didn't have the one child policy things like this wouldn't have become a modern day trend.Another outcome of the modern day eugenics movement.
