Boy kidnapped for his kidneys.  |
|
 Hi all, absolutely shocking! I have seen it in films but never known anyone myself! For the last few days there has alot of commotion in my area.
3 days ago a boy of 9 was kidnapped on his way to school after lunch. It seems he has been kidnapped for his kidneys. This happens alot here apparently.
His parents are completely freaking out. The police are searching the vicinity but to no avail and it's a pretty much a given that they young boy has been taken far off to another place in India, probably a major city like Mumbai or Delhi for his organs leaving us no trace at all!
All parents here are petrified now. Schools are very nearby, walkable distances, but still kids are known to go missing.
I know the family, the father is a cowherder, and I get my milk from them. Such a gentle character, but he doesn't have the funds being pretty poor to motivate a full on search.....so.....dead end.
Have you come across anything like this in your local area?

| 1. rroxas08 (42) | 4 months ago |  I am sorry to have learned this, Crime is everywhere. Due to poverty, people tend to do bad things in order to survive, what we can do is be vigilant or always take precautionary measures. I felt bad for the boy's family, I only hope that they will get to find him before it's too late...

 sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | People are already giving up hope I think here. Does this sort of thing happen in the Philippines too? | |
|
|
| rroxas08 (42) | 4 months ago | Hi, Like what I have said crime is everywhere but we should never lose hope. I am very thankful that we less crimes nowadays and I would like to commend our law enforcers for this. | |

2.  ybonjoc (914) | 4 months ago |  This thing exactly happened to my place.There is this group of people who kidnap healthy babies to sell the organs.They have a van and they will post mostly in schools and kidnap kids.Or sometimes forcefully kidnap the kid if he is with someone.Actually my little cousin is about to kidnap too.But the person assigned to kidnap him seemed to know my uncle so he's been dealing with his conscience and he can't sleep anymore and gave up.He told my uncle about the plan of the group to kidnap his son.So my uncle hide his son and take full security of him and their house.That person reported everything to the authority with my uncle and they have been following on the syndicate about their plans.I have not heard of the group since then.And besides we lived in a different city.I only had a visit with my family when that thing happened.

| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Oh my God.....shock...horror!.....I am so glad you little cousin got away....phew....what a miracle.....I'm so happy to hear that your nephew was unharmed! So it seems to happen in the Philipines too!
I honestly don't understand why people have to resort to such drastic measures, surely there are other things they can do to get money, putting a kid through such torture is just the lowest of the low. | |

| Kiwi_fruit (7) | 4 months ago |  I am shocked!! I even don't know that things of this sort occur all over the world.
I should say that I only learned from newspaper before . But it seemed that not only kids,even adult would be kidnapped for organs if he or she was uncareful. So i think that it's necessary for all of us to take care of ourself and our relatives.

| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Hi there Paula, thank you for getting me back on this and sharing your thoughts with me, it helps to be able to talk about it. You know I am really confused, i think the people who get roped into doing it must be really suffering in some financial way, must themselves be really poor, or perhaps are being blackmailed into doing it....because I just can't understand how people can just bring themselves to kidnap like that.
I understand that behind them is some organised gangster scenerio and it's just basic greed motivating them, but the people who do the dirty work surely they are just poor indians who are in dia need of cash perhaps.
Indeed this world is a very very sad place. | |

|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Just wanted to let you know the boy has been found unharmed and the nappers have been caught too. All is well again. | |

| 4. meapas (1194) | 4 months ago |  Please help him using all the local helplines and contacting the local influential people, local Corporator,MLA,police station,news paper office and TV station. Let the news spread like wild fire. Sent the photographs to news agencies, TV station and police station. Help them to the best of your ability and pray to God. Some miracle might take place.
So far no such things have happened in our local area. I daily pray for all. I am praying for them too. Hoping to get updated on this. Wishing them only the best. May God help them.

|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | I would love to get involved Meapas and I am sure some people are on the case. But I am seen as a Foreigner here and so am not allowed to get mixed in with local politics. The locals also speak only telegu and I can't speak a word of it, so its all abit tricky, but thank you so much for your prayers. | |
|
|
| meapas (1194) | 4 months ago | I really feel sorry for them and for you too. You are also little shaken up I know that. We can only pray at this moment. Take care and keep praying for them. | |
|
|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Meapas Good news...he's been found and unharmed, will put up details later. | |
|
|
| meapas (1194) | 4 months ago | Thank God. My one more pray God answered. I mean we all prayed and God answered. This is the power of prayers. There is a place in Chennai called Vailankanni. There is a church called Vailankanni church. If you pray to Vailankanni mother she immediately helps you out. This is a famous church. People from all corners of the world send offerings to her. If any such serious problems comes to my knowledge, I immediately promise some offerings to her and she comes to help out. These offerings are used for poor people. If you just pray and offer something from the bottom of your heart, it gets connected. Long back I had posted a discussion about the power of prayers. Any way thank you very much for doing your best and praying for them. Full cheers to you. May God bless them and you. | |
|
|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Chennai is along way from you. Did you live there before? Yes I too pray alot. Perhaps you could forward me the link to this discussion by PM.
| |
|
|
| meapas (1194) | 4 months ago | I didn't live in Chennai. I came to know by word of mouth. You can send any type of offerings. Just address it to Vailankanni church, Vailankanni, Chennai. It will reach there. | |

| 5. thea09 (4373) | 4 months ago |  Hi sritrinity, nothing like that happens here but I have read about it happening in other countries and it is a truly repulsive practice.
A friend on here mentioned the other day that the practice is now happening in Malaysia too but I had not realised that it was happening in India. From what I understood previously this was happening in some rich Arab countries where foreign workers were targeted and in one instance a child was kidnapped, a kidney stolen, and she was then returned with a large amount of money.
There is more than one crime here: the rich person who demands the organ believing his wealth can buy anything, the criminal who carries out the kidnapping to provide the unwilling donor, and the Doctor who is willing to to this disgusting thing against all medical ethics. The whole thing is brought about by one person who believes he has the right to something which money should not be allowed to buy.
I presume from the way you describe it that the child will now vanish and not be returned. This is truly horrific.

| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Hi Thea! Hope your well!
He's been found unharmed! The kidnappers have been caught!!!!!!!
Yes it doesn't happen often here, I've heard people speak of it before but never known it to actually going down...have you seen the film SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
I can't talk much as have to pass on the news to everyone else. I will put another thread up about it soon. | |

| thea09 (4373) | 4 months ago | That's great news but not the outcome I expected, I'm glad to say. | |

| 6. Sreekala (1740) | 4 months ago |  Hi sritrinity,
Yes it is really shocking news. As a mother I can understand the feeling of those parents. Without knowing the fate of their child, without knowing what exactly happened to their child, the situation indeed horrible. These parents are financially poor and they are not in a position to force the authorities that is another sad thing. In my opinion culprits are easily traceable if the police people are doing their duty sincerely. Sadly the system is also corrupted. Reports are coming from different places about missing cases. People those who have money and power can save their kids and if it happens with common people nobody there to care.

|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Oh...Sreekala, it is so sad! What a sad world we live in. I can not even imagine what the parents must be going through. I think I would probably go totally and if that happened to me. I feel so sick to the stomach. I see so many children playing on the street and now worry for them!
What type of a life can a child have if they can't even walk to school of play with their friends???
Does this type of thing happen in Delhi?

|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Sreekala, the boy has been found unharmed and kidnappers caught...miracle! | |

| 7. dianmelydia (1639) | 4 months ago |  I think the same thing can happened anywhere. The reason is because a kindney's price in black market is very expensive. That's why there's alot of criminals specialize in kidney trading. They can hurt anyone only for get a kidney. This is like a robberin scheme, but they rob your kidney. As i know so far, a kidney in black market can be more than $10,000 each. Of course this is a big sum of money. I think the authorities should apply some protection scheme and tracing scheme for any kidney implant on hospital. So everything can be traced if there's any suspicious found. Usually such thing happened in big city. The reason is big city has complete infrastructure for doing kidney implantation. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

|
|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Yes I do think that is the way forward each organ donated should be able to be verified properly! And the people getting the organ (kidney) should also make it a darn point to check it's authenticity!

| 8. incredibleDNA (1085) | 4 months ago |  That's no news for me, in poor countries like here in the Philippines, you can all learn or know that mafias and other lords of smugglers are doing such act. That is called human trafficking.
I bet that those unfilthy smugglers are going on board with small town and provinces to promise a family that they will get paid and money for it.

| 9. mikeysmom (1971) | 4 months ago | very sad and very scary. my son is 8 and not allowed outdoors unless i am with him. he is certainly not allowed to walk anywhere alone or stay at the bus stop alone. why? because of despicable and disgusting things like this. children are so vulnerable when left to their own devices. | |
| |
|
|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | Yes Mikeysmom, I totally understand your worries and isn't it so sad that kids have such little freedom nowadays!
When I was young, it was really safe on the streets, I mean I would never go too far, but I was always allowed to play with friends on the streets and at parks etc....but nowadays it seems that one should keep them close at all times.
Where things different in your time? | |

|
| sritrinity (200) | 4 months ago | The boy has been found unharmed! Kidnappers have been caught too! | |

| 10. dodo19 (4233) | 4 months ago |  This is really terrible. It's really sad that this sort of thing happens. It's sad that some people would do this to children! It's bad enough that some people would do this to adults, but it's worse when this happens to children, in my opinion.
