Well at least his mom didn't sell him. People have to look after their kids in both sight and mind because people are tainted by this dreadful world without harmony and wicked understandings of predators and praying prey.

India has crime but is not the kidnapping capital of the world. Your story seems to suggest that. Look at Colombia, Pakistan and even Russia. This story is a perfect example of trying to exploit a very sad reality of our global society but point only at one country and one region of that country and paints it black. If you had reported on the alleged rape of a Russian girl in Goa it would have been relevant to a Russian channel, this seems to have little relevance to your global audience except to stretch the news to tarnish the image of Bihar and India. India is a democracy that allows you to report freely. It is not crime free but it is also much safer and freer than many other places on earth.
