Baby Trafficking in Guatemala?
Very disturbing story:
Guatemalan police rescue baby stolen, possibly to be offered for adoption
GUATEMALA CITY: Guatemalan police rescued a two-month-old boy who had been stolen from his home and arrested four people who were allegedly preparing the baby for illegal adoption, an official said.
The rescue comes amid growing concerns about the Central American country's export of thousands of babies each year to adoptive parents abroad.
It was unclear where the baby was to have been sent, but police detained four people in the house where the baby was rescued and found a false birth certificate for the boy, said Jesus Esquivel, assistant chief of criminal investigations for the police force.
