Over seventy trafficked children missing from children’s home

Criminal gangs in systematic trafficking of Chinese children to work in prostitution and the drugs trade across Britain

A report in the Guardian newspaper claimed that criminal gangs have exploited a children's home beside Heathrow airport for the systematic trafficking of Chinese children to work in prostitution and the drugs trade across Britain. Quoting from a confidential Home Office document, the paper said at least 77 Chinese children have gone missing since March 2006 from the home, operated by the London borough of Hillingdon.
