Chinese Birth Policy Leaves Thousands of Children on the Street
The infamous One-Child Policy of People’s Republic of China has brought not only negatives from the other countries, but also many issues inside the borders of the Asian state itself. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this policy: it is a law that puts a tax on every new child after a first son. In some cities, when a girl is born, the family can have a boy afterwards without paying, but there are also places that tax as much as over 10,000 dollars for the second child.
Due to this extremity, the local authorities have incredible issues with handling the c.a. 70,000 children that are abducted from the streets or their homes… or maybe given away. Females have abortions when they don’t have the funds or possibility to pay the tax, no matter if they would be a good parent.
