Thirty parents from across China have come to Beijing to seek the government's help in finding their missing children, some of whom were abducted when they were just months old.

The group, which met through a website featuring missing children, yesterday unfurled on a Beijing street a 100-meter-long banner containing photographs and information concerning almost 100 lost children.

Some are the children of the group in Beijing, while the rest are sons or daughters of other members of http://www.baobeihuijia.com/, a Jilin-based forum used by more than 2,000 distraught mothers and fathers.
