On human trafficking, and no, we did not, “arrive” in a THIRD-WORLD nation still, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Department of Diplomacy Worked Alongside the Offices of Immigrations, Discovered the Nation’s Largest-Scale Children Trafficking Case, Eleven Vietnamese Children, Started Four Years Ago, Were Sold from Between $90,000N.T. to $210,000N.T., Entered into Taiwan Illegally, and Worked in Nantou, Yunlin, Picking the Tea Leaves, and Planting in the Fields, Among Other Works, They Were Suspected of Being Treated as Children Workers, Illegally.
here’s one, photo from online…
The thirty-four “fake parents” and children were sent to the Yunlin D.A.s Offices for breaking the law against human trafficking and caretaking. After the D.A.’s Office investigated and interrogated, they’d temporarily placed the eleven children under the cares of these “fake parents”, until they are all, deported, back to Vietnam.
The three boys, eight girls, a total of eleven children who were found, the youngest, an eight-year-old is currently going to school, and the eldest, a fifteen year-old girl, sweeps the floors at a beauty salon, cleaning up the tables, the remaining children were all, sent to work in mountains, picking teas or planting in the fields.
and another…not my photo still…
This child trafficking case was discovered, because last year, the central offices of the Department of Diplomacy oversaw a case of an eight-year-old Vietnamese girl, applying for a passport, they’d found, that while the child was born in Vietnam, her birth mother was living in Taiwan, they’d found, that it was, odd, how the woman can, give birth internationally, and the department notified the offices of immigrations, and, the consulate in Ho Chih Minh City also started an investigation synchronically.
The Taichung’s Department of Immigrations Specialty Squad, worked alongside the Diplomatic Department, found that seventeen Vietnamese spouses, started back into 2013, was suspected of making false birth certificates with the agency in Vietnam, to make one of their next-of-kin’s child as their own young, and came to Taiwan using the name of visiting one’s own young.

The cost of the seventeen children being shipped to Taiwan was $3,000N.T. to $7,000N.T. each, totaling up to $90,000N.T. to $210,000N.T.s; there were, three children who couldn’t adapt to living here, and couldn’t learn Chinese, who got sent back, another three children, after being reported, the Diplomatic Department cancelled their passports, and deported them, made sure they are to, never enter into Taiwan again.
The Specialty Squad stated, that the children who’d picked the tea leaves earn anywhere from $800N.T. to $1,200N.T. a day, which was paid, to the fake parents, then these fake parents would, give the children, a couple of hundred dollars in allowances, the children who worked in the fields usually worked alongside their fake parents, and not gotten paid. And, the money it took, for the children to be shipped here, was paid by their fake parents, to a Vietnamese woman, T.
The case worker stated, that the false mothers, in order to help their families back home get out of poverty, had helped traffic children to Taiwan to work, to make what they could, for their families, the false dads had, accepted it as the ways quietly. During the time of harvests of teas, the children would get out in the early morning hours of three o’clock, and be done picking the leaves by seven in the morn, and after working in the plantations, rarely any children had any more energy left, to attend school, so most of these children would, skip their classes.
one more…NOT my photo, once again!
and many, many, many MORE photos like this, and it’s still just, tips of an ICEBERG!
The Vietnamese women who were married here said, whether it be their own young, or their relatives’ ‘children, working at an early age in Vietnam was considered, the norm, they were only, sending for their own children, to come to Taiwan, for a better life, not realizing, that they’d, broken the laws, having these young children working here.
The district attorney, Chu believed, that there was no evidence discovered, that the fake parents were, forcing the young children to work, that they’d made money illegally, plus the woman, T hadn’t been brought in, to explain things, and so, they’d still needed more evidence, to see if these children were considered, as trafficked workers, but, the laws of falsifying records had already been, broken.
So, because they’re making too little back in their home countries, these children were, brought here, to make money, and, this just shows, how little life was valued, of these young children, they should be in school, and having their chance at a normal childhood of playing, and learning, but instead, they’d been brought here, to work in manual labor. This would be, children trafficking, AT its worst!
