Death by hanging should be a punishment for kidnapping and child trafficking.

Why would someone engage in this devilish act and called it business. Trafficking human beings for monetary benefits. Why are some people wicked like this? What's even the usefulness of national assembly if they cannot make law that will protect the lives and properties of the masses. This is too bad.

It is generational. Even the criminals caught, they themselves were bought from baby factories as toddler by those who raised them
