<--- look at person in white tshirt on the left..... case in point.

So, they have at least one disfigured person in China? That's pretty concrete proof of a mass conspiracy to kidnap tourist's children, torture and mangle them, then put them on the streets as beggers for profit. Nice work, detective! :roll:

hahahhaha

Whoa whoa whoa, Miss Lippy. The part of the story I don't like is that the parents gave up looking for the boy after an hour. They didn't put posters up or anything, they just went home sat on the porch like a goon and waited. That little boy's parents gotta think 'You got a kid. You got a responsibility.' If your kid is lost you don't look for an hour then call it quits. You get your *** out there and you find that f***ing kid.

:laugh:LOL:laugh:...:thumbsup:
 
i don't believe this one.
Even after having his limps cut off and put back on the streets he could yell for help, try and get someone to call his family back home, the police, something he wouldn't just give up.
And after the cost of kidnapping, the surgery, keeping him alive, feeding him, taking care of him while he recovered and afterwards, would outway any amount of income he cuold make on the streets?

Right... Then why the fake story?

Because people by nature are skeptical as is evident with this thread.

Because we don't believe text or random internet posts? Because of the lack of proof? Because it reeks of mass mail? Because there's no source? Because the story's filled with holes?

No, none of those. It's because people are skeptical... :roll:
 
Armless Legless Kidnapped Boys FTW!

Relatively, Blacks are environmental Good Samaritans. Per capita, we emit approximately 20 percent less carbon dioxide than Whites ? well below 2020 targets set by the U.S. Climate Stewardship Act. Not only do we use more energy-conserving public transportation, we spend considerably less per capita on energy-intensive material goods.

I don't believe the OP's story but kidnapping and maiming children to make them beggars does happen.

Just learned about this tragedy a few nights ago over a dinner conversation with family friends...

A family friend and her family (husband and two sons) took a vacation to China a few years back. During the course of their trip the youngest son went missing. They searched everywhere and could not find the son and so they finally gave up and returned back to the US. A few years later the family returned to China for another trip. They had already given up on their missing son, but randomly on the street the see a boy with no legs and no arms that looked like their son. It was their son.

Apparently it is not uncommon for people in China to kidnap children, cut off their arms and legs, and use them as a source of generating income by begging on the streets. They will drop them off in the morning and pick them back up at night.

Can people be more cruel and selfish?

I heard about this story too, but I think it happened in Taiwan...
 
was the kids name bob by any chance?



no i didnt read the thread to see if the joke was aske.d and yes the joke sucks
 
1) Kidnap a kid
2) Don't ask for a ransom
3) Surgically remove his arms + legs
4) Take care of the kid until fully recovered
5) Put him on the streets to beg from the busy chinese population
6) ......
7) Profit?! 😕
