Italian child selling ring found

biko

I couldn't find a thread on this. It's from June but I could not find anything more recent.
This is just plain nuts, and evil.

Italian police have arrested 18 people, including a mayor, social workers and psychologists for allegedly “brainwashing” children into believing their parents had abused them, in a scheme to take them away from their families and sell them to foster parents

The children’s foster parents included sex shop owners, people with psychological disorders and parents whose children had taken their lives. Italian media report that two of the children have been sexually abused after being assigned to the foster parents.

Thought this would be a thread about a runaway Italian-American kid who thought he could go it alone in the cruel world with nothing but a bag on his shoulders and some jewellery to pawn; a wild child who watched James Dean movies and liked to shoot the breeze with old time gangsters.

A boy named Johnny from the wrong side of the tracks, who rode bikes and chewed on a toothpick to ease his troubled mind; a naive and reckless boy who realized the foolishness of his plans all too late.

Only to be found when all hope seemed lost; on a street corner by his sultry lover Sue; who'd never stopped searching for her one true love-found and brought back home to a foster family who, although may never understand his dark, brooding, handsome ways, would still cherish him and treat him as one of their own no matter what.

Now you have ruined my day with your clumsy thread title, I will bid you adieu, sir.

Sheridan81, can you make fun of these details too? Maybe you can score a few more thanks..

carers who used methods including electroshock

keeping gifts and letters sent to the children by their real parents hidden in a warehouse

Considering the lack of real responses, I suppose no matter the cruelty - it's just not newsworthy unless it happen in UK or US.

Sickening what some humans can do

Reminds me of Georgia Tann

It’s just sickening what people will do to kids. Especially turning them agains their parents.

these evil scum should be painted and released in de town for the locals to do a purge on them

Same as Tann, the Italians seems to be in it purely for the money.
Not for any noble cause like "they're better off with the foster parents" or similar delusion, just plain old greed.
