Parents of missing teenagers win in new trafficking law

BEIJING - Chinese police plan to introduce a new guideline making it easier to rescue teenage girls from the clutches of human traffickers.

The guideline will speed up the investigation and filing of cases involving girls between 14 and 18, who often fall through the cracks of anti-trafficking legislation, said Chen Shiqu, chief of the anti-trafficking office under the Ministry of Public Security (MPS).

"Parents will be able to seek legal help without providing complete evidence about their missing children," Chen was quoted by the Beijing Morning Post.
