Cuff love: Worried father HANDCUFFS himself to his daughter as he travels through China following spate of child kidnaps

By 1:30 AM



  • Father chained himself to daughter to avoid her being kidnapped by gangs. 
  • Images taken at Beijing South railway station during the Spring Festival.
  • Chen Yen heard reports of thieves and pickpockets being active in area. 
  • Child of a neighbour had also recently been snatched by kidnap gangs. 
  • 70,000 children kidnapped each year in China and sold to childless couples.

  • Photographs of a father who handcuffed his daughter to his wrist because he was terrified she might be kidnapped have illustrated the shocking growth of child abductions in China.
    The images were taken at Beijing South railway station and showed father Chen Yen and his daughter waiting for a train with a whole host of security devices intended to keep her safe.
    An estimated 70,000 children are kidnapped in China every year as the country's tough one child policy has led to very few children being put up for adoption, in turn fueling a chilling black market in kidnapped children for couples unable to have their own.
