investigated.

This is Sunita. She went "missing" from a remote and tribal village in the state of Jharkand a decade ago - a couple befriended her parents promising her an education - but were they were traffickers. Instead she was sent to Delhi to work for a family.

It’s a story we heard from others. Traffickers get friendly with a family, and dupe them into sending their children away. They’re middlemen. The children are then “sold” to others, ending up at “placement agencies” where they’re hired by Indian families.

Around 70,000 children go “missing” in India every year. They end up in domestic slavery, sex work and child labour. We went on a raid with
@BBAIndia
as they rescued boys who’d been in child labour in bakeries. One of them was a boy we’ll call Ahmed...
