Micro Blogs. A father whose son was being kidnapped at a tender age of 3, has finally got to be reunited with him after 3 years. Thanks to the netizens in China on micro blogs at sina.com, Peng Gaofeng, a 30-year-old from South China's Shenzhen city, had an emotional reunite with his son in Pizhou city in East China's Jiangsu province, which is more than 1,000 km from Shenzhen where he was first kidnapped. I know there may be faults with the internet but I think we need to remember the better side or rather the outreach capability it possess. I am just glad for the family here. What about you?

Hiya sky, Now that is good News to hear. Congratulations to the Father and Family for keeping on looking for his Son. The Internet can be a blessing in disguise sometimes. Many thanks to the People doing the Blogs that have lent a helping hand. That is a very good ending to all that. Good things can come out of the Internet if you look closely enough.

lovinangelsinstead21, My exact sentiments here. I hope that people will do more good deeds than bad with the internet like helping with the search of missing persons, health information or sharing of knowledge. Then, good things can indeed come out of the internet.

You know I am one member from the micro blog Sina. Lately there is a popular topic in the micro blog. That's trying to save those begging children. Some children were kidnapped and then they became to the begging tools for those bad gangs. It is a very sad fact. I really hope that these gangs can be punished seriously and therefore nobody dares to do it again. I love China

youless, I have to say that I am quite impress with Sina's micro blog where so far I have read a lot of very good blogs which are really impressive in cause and deed. Child kidnapping is rampant and prevalent, so like you I do hope that the authorities will be successful in crushing these gangs and punish them severely. I really have an issue with these gangs where even the capital punishment of a hundredfold is just not enough for the anguish parents have to bear and the full brunt cruelty these children have to experience and live with for the rest of their lives.

This is definitely something to be happy about in the fact that the child was able to be reunited with his child after three years old. There were far too many times in the past when children were kidnapped and though they were eventually reunited with their family, far too many years had passed and memories had faded to the point that living with the child was like living with a stranger. I hope that the net will continue to have good acts associated with it like this.

dorannmwin, I am with you but I have to add that it will depend on peoples' sense morality and responsibility here. While we see the good side of the internet here, I am sure you are aware that it is responsible for the recent violent outbursts in Tunisia and Egypt. Hope that humanity will improve with the advancement of technology.
