Incident could seem "isolated". One guy & every nation has criminals right?

But I see rumors it isn't. That more will be uncovered.

That 100000s of minors trafficked every year - for child labor, slavery, bad adoptions, sex trade, or worst, to butcher for organ transplants or in sick rituals.

with Ukraine, China, USA-Mexico mentioned as top places, as well as old "sex vacation" places like Thailand.

In this incident, guy was middleman worked for some charity / NGO.

Offered mom $1k cash, with promise of $5k total, & that baby would be adopted nicely. Really meant to sell baby to black market for $25k.

Missing Children Europe told the Guardian in the early weeks of the Ukraine war that unaccompanied minors were continuing to disappear at the borders.

'There are so many children […] that we lost track of,' said Aagje Ieven, secretary general of Missing Children Europe. 'This is a huge problem, not just because it means they easily go missing, and are difficult to find, but also because it makes trafficking so easy.'
