    Parents' horror as Chinese boy, 6, has his eyes GOUGED OUT after being 'kidnapped by organ trafficker who stole both his corneas'

    Youngster snatched while playing outside home in Linfen, Shanxi Province
    Parents found him three hours later screaming in a field covered in blood

    Kidnapper reportedly told boy: 'Don’t cry and I won’t gouge out your eyes'

    Illicit trade fuelled because China has 300,000 on transplant waiting list

    Probably one of the sickest stories I've ever came across, it shocks and frightens me that there are such evil people in the world...

    I just hope maybe a legitimate donor can be found to help the kid, that's if anything can be done after the way he was left.

    Sick f*cks. That poor child. Hopefully they track these people down and repay them in kind.


    (I use that word 'people' very loosely. Animals may be better choice)

    That is one of the most distressing stories I've ever heard... Feel so sorry for the boy :( whenever a speck of dust gets in my eyes I freak out, can't imagine this happening.. Sick people

    Jesus christ that's one of the most horrific things I've ever read :(

    The poor little man. Jesus :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Wow, that's horrific.
    Poor kid.

    How people are willing to buy black market organs is something I can't fully comprehend. Never mind the organ traffickers. Both should be locked away for the rest of their lives.

    I don't even know where to start with this, sick to the stomach that people that evil are out there.

    The poor kid, this world has some evil, vile people in it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,407 ✭✭✭lkionm


    He got a warning. They really take their family planning seriously over there.

    If my mother was anything like that there would be several playstations and xboxes over the wall and I would be dead.


    Some strange people over there

    Edit; Is this more just daily mail crap.

    He got kidnapped right, then he was told to not cry or else his eyes would be coming out. Would they not have had to take the eyes out anyway?

    Perhaps some dont know where they come from. Some turn a blind eye.

    China scares me more than the USA now going forward, the whole population of Ireland would be a small village over there population wise.

    ''the kidnapper warned him''

    DailyMail or not, it's a legitimate story.
    Although, I'm not sure how credible it is that the kidnapper actually said this,
    'Don’t cry and I won’t gouge out your eyes'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,718 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    I'm glad I'll be dead in 50 or 60 years as I'm not sure I want to see what the next depths of human depravity will be.

    The trouble is there isn't a punishment in all of (un)civilisation to fit this crime. Perhaps removing all the offenders organs for donation and leaving the remnants hooked up to life support for the rest of their natural existence might be the closest thing, however we'll just have to hope hell exists after all.

    Yes, the ol chinese like a spot of family planning.

    http://news.sky.com/story/1133783/china-trafficker-gouges-out-boys-eyes notice how there is no sensationalist buzz words in that one.

    The daily mail should be banned on here.

    I'd advise you to stay away from the history books so.........








    As a comforting aside, at least the poor boy will never have to see the daily mail.

    Maybe I am cranky waiting for dinner and wandered into the wrong thread but I never really cared about these stories that happen a few thousand miles away that are so disconnected to my life here. Call me insensitive all you like.

    The mail once tried to scientifically prove cats were better than dogs, thats when the penny dropped for me.


    Ill grab my coat and my knife and fork and leave this thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    How evil and depraved do you have to be to that to another human being? The levels some people sink to never fails to horrify me.

    I hope she and whichever other piece of scum uses that boy's organs never have a day's peace for the rest of their rotten, miserable lives.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭Zen65


    The "Sad Endings" thread yesterday had me feeling a bit low today, but this has just floored me.

    There are no words to describe the degree of cruelty here. Removing both eyes is insanely evil, even for a country like China where compassion for children sometimes seems to be a scarce commodity (remember that story about the kid being run over by a car?).

    This is precisely the sort of crime for which a death sentence is appropriate.

    I understand. It can be hard to relate stories of chemical weapons and civil wars to your own comfortable life. Even when you read of the mass suffering, it's easy to distance yourself because you have not lived in that environment, and a part of you says 'but sure, they bring it on themselves, don't they?" or "why can't they live in peace the way we do here?".

    But a story like this hits me in the same way that the James Bolger story hit me 20 years ago. There is no war backdrop to the story, no context in which man's inhumanity to man might be explained. A young, healthy child has their sight stolen permanently (and to correct somebody's earlier post here . . . there is currently no technology by which donor eyes can be transplanted in order to restore this boy's sight) and they are now condemned to live a life denied the beauty of the world.

    I feel ill, and it has been a long while since I've read a story that has upset me so much.

    Was just about to post that you can't transplant eyes. Seems it was done just for the sake of it, not for financial gain.

    I think you can transplant corneas though. They found the eyeballs without the corneas. :(

    I don't know whether to be more angry or sad at this story. It's absolutely disgusting, the worst thing I've read in a long time.

    Ah yes, the oul "It's not affecting me personally so why should I give a sh*t?" defence.

    Have you any idea how much different your "life here" would be if people throughout history had taken the same risible attitude you have?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 710 ✭✭✭Victor McDade


    The Chinese media are now saying that the police have stated that the corneas were not taken, I'm not sure if they were cut out and left somewhere else or if they were intentionally damaged or what. Seems more like an act of senseless violence than organ trafficking.
    The little guy has said he was terrified, can't remember what she looked like or her approximate age, but she called him by his name. He's also asking why it's still dark and what time it is. Heartbreaking...

    Sickening. Pure evil. Even if they are mentally ill. I hate the thought that i live on the same planet as someone who could do that to a child.
    The largest thing i could intentionally harm is a rat. Even then i couldnt gouge out his eyeballs while he was alive.

    maybe, but I saw it mentioned somewehere that the Chinese may be trying to censor/ or cover up an embarrassing situation on organ traffiking.

    ****'ing sick - incinerate the ****ers if they're ever found.

    These people are demonic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,799 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    This is a horrific story. Anyone who could do that to a child for any reason forfeits any human rights that he/she used to have as far as I'm concerned.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-23846633

    The Daily Mail (as usual) went for the most sensationalist angle to this story as if the truth is not shocking enough. It appears that the organ trafficking aspect of the story is untrue (why would anyone remove the cornea from the eye at the scene of the attack and risk damaging them if the purpose is to sell them later)

    Whatever the motivation for this cruel and disgusting attack, I hope that those responsible are found and that the little boy is given the very best treatment that medical science can provide.

    If there is ever a technology developed that can restore sight in his circumstance, I hope that he would be at the very top of the queue

    I have a six year old boy, I cannot start to imagine this scenario. Poor kid. The sickos that are out there. Very distressing story.

    When you, or someone you love, is dying and you need an organ you would probably pay anything to get it and you wouldn't care where it came from.

    But for eyes... you don't die of blindness... I really cannot comprehend it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 712 ✭✭✭SweepTheLeg


    I just watched this Korean movie called "The Man from Nowhere". It's all about organ harvesting and has people taking out kids corneas to sell. Then I stumble upon this thread, Weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭ItsLikeThis


    Three of the most shocking things I have seen online; The child being run over by the truck and left for dead by passers by,the video of dogs being skinned alive for their fur and now this......... all made in China.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 772 ✭✭✭Caonima


    This is nothing, on the grand scheme of things. Horrific stuff like this happens every day over here. Recently there's been stories about a criminal slamming a newborn baby to the ground during an argument with its mother, brain damaging it (where it died shortly after), another boy setting fire to a girl's face after she refused to go on a date with him, and the ongoing case of the privileged son of an army general trying to wrangle his way out of an allegation of rape and battery of a karaoke club worker.

    If you really want to be shocked, go to www.chinasmack.com and read in horror of what goes on each day over here.

    put em under anaesthesia without painkillers and chop em up and use their organs i say!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭allibastor


    That is absolutly fücking shocking. I have said it before and I will say it again, some people dont deserve the oppertunity of being alive. How can you justif letting a person live after they take the eyes from a 6 year old child for profit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,556 ✭✭✭the_monkey


    Police are saying tho, they found the eyes with the corneas , so it weren't organ trafficking ...


    whatever the reason, I felt physically ill reading about it ... f*cked up world we live in.
