Three young children who were abducted more than two months ago at the Guangzhou Railway Station in South China's Guangdong Province have been rescued by local police and safely sent back to their parents.
The three consist of two boys and one girl. The eldest is three years old. A total of 10 suspects have been detained in the case and six of them are from a family abduction group, the Guangzhou Railway police said.
On June 2, Liu Yunbi, the grandmother of the two-year-old girl and the eight-month-old boy, was taking her grandchildren back to their home in Sichuan by train from Guangzhou. While she waited in the railway station, two middle-aged women, who pretended to be passengers to Sichuan too, struck up a conversation with Liu. They said they could help take care of the children on the way.
Liu trusted the two "warm-hearted" ladies and let them take care of the two children while she went to have a rest.
When Liu returned to the waiting room, she could not find the two ladies or her grand children.
