Shanghai Match - Three years after his abduction, the small Wenli was reunited with his family, through microblogging. He died in 2008 at the age of 3, in the southern city of Shenzhen, near the stall of public telephones operated by his parents. The only trace of the kidnapping was a surveillance video that showed a man in a black jacket with starting small Wenli.
The photo of the boy published by a reporter about her Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, and sent by thousands of users, has enabled a user to identify the child on February 2: he had crossed by chance in the province of Jiangsu, at 1 300 km north. DNA tests have confirmed the relationship after the net was moved to the boy's first words: "The man who weeps over there is my dad." This case demonstrates the effectiveness of the campaign since January 25 by Yu Jianrong, a specialist in social movements, committed and enthusiastic user of the Web.
The professor of the Academy of Social Sciences has created an account microblogging where users can publish pictures of child street beggars, many of whom have been kidnapped in order to help their parents find them. After Wenli, another six children were identified: their photos were seen by over 570 000 people.
One Charitable Foundation, founded by actor Jet Li, has proposed putting its financial resources to serve this cause. Meanwhile, revelations of the Chinese public radio Gongxiao village in Anhui province, have reinforced the media's attention on abductions in the country's one child. A network of village Gongxiao made a specialty of breaking the limbs of children stolen or hurt them with citric acid to make them look more miserable before sending them to beg.
While laudable and well-attended - more than 1,200 photos of children have already been published - the method by Yu Jianrong spurs debate: should we let Internet replace an inefficient judicial system? Especially as publishing photos of children on the Web is not without risk. A poor man in the city of Zhuhai, in the extreme south, was forced to submit to DNA testing after a photo of her son, walking by his side while begging in the street, had circulated on the Internet.
A couple of ill-intentioned central province of Shanxi had told police he was her child ... A blogger using the pseudonym "Asylum flying" rebelled against the light. Instead of revealing photos of minors without authorization, he writes, users eager for justice would be better to devote himself to "put pressure on the government to assume its full responsibilities."
