Ways That Are Dark

The BBC reports on the arrest of three women and a man for allegedly smuggling newborn babies from Viet Nam to China. This is also the first time Vietnamese police have uncovered the smuggling of unborn babies.

All the babies were sold for eight million dong ($500) each.

The police said they would be offered for adoption to couples in China for around $2,000 each, because they were boys.

Girls would be sold for half the amount, according to investigators.
