Orphanage in China home to children rescued from child traffickers

Tuesday we spoke with Haiyang Sun, a father in China who has spent eight years searching for his son. He believes the boy was kidnapped by a child trafficking ring. 

The Chinese state media has described child trafficking as a "rampant" problem.  These children are sometimes forced into lives of street crime, or begging.

After the show we received an email from a listener in New Brunswick. 

Krista Dolan volunteers with special needs children at an orphanage in Henan province, China.  It's also a place where the police bring children they've rescued from child traffickers. She joined us in from Fredericton, New Brunswick.
