Chinese authorities have created a website with photos of dozens of rescued kidnap victims, mostly infants, in an attempt to track down their families. The Babies Looking for Home website is part of a nationwide government crackdown on the widespread trafficking of women and children. The website includes short physical descriptions of each child, the date they were rescued and a contact number for the police station or welfare official in charge of their case. The youngest child profiled appears to be just a few months old, and most of them were boys. State media have reported hundreds of rescues and arrests since the campaign began in April, but the new website shows that at least 60 children were yet to be reunited with their families. In a statement announcing the new website on Tuesday the public security ministry said that 2,008 children had been rescued between April and October.
