Women jailed for 'renting' young thieves

Lawyer suggests that children's parents should also receive sentence for practice

A Shanghai court has jailed two women who "rented" village children as young as 7 years old and forced them to steal.

Song Yinxiu and Song Yincui, no relation, were sentenced to three and a half years for organizing juveniles to carry out activities that violate public security - the first time the charge has been applied in Shanghai since it was introduced in 2009.
