BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese police have detained the vice-principal of a school for deaf-mutes and other special needs children for selling 10 students to a ring that trained them to become pickpockets, the Guizhou Metropolitan Daily reported.

Police rescued the victims, the youngest of whom was 12, in Jiangxi and Henan provinces this month, the online edition of the newspaper said.

They went missing from their school in Liupanshui city, Guizhou, last month, the newspaper said, adding that the ring trained and required each person to steal and turn in 500 yuan ($65) per day.

Zhu Xiangyu, 52, vice-principal of the school and vice-president of Liupanshui's Deaf-Mute Association, and four other suspects had been taken into police custody.

Hundreds of deaf-mute students had gone missing since 2005, the newspaper said.

China has about 1.8 million deaf-mutes aged 18 or younger, many of whom are unable to obtain an education or steady work.

Police vowed this month to crack down on gangs that exploit deaf-mute youths, highlighting the hardship of disabled people in a society that gives them little state support, especially in poor rural areas.

Earlier this month, the Legal Daily reported that police in

Hunan province broke up a gang of gun-wielding deaf-mute robbers who police said were behind hundreds of armed robberies across the country.
 
:pissed: That is horrible! Zhu Xiangyu deserves the maximum top Chinese torture :rl: He abused his authority and used children to benefit from it. People trust the vice-principals in schools. I don't know the laws up there. Poor kids. Living the life of gangs and crime because they can not get a job or a proper education. Sad
 
Does anyone have an opinion on this?

I find this very interesting how deaf children around the world are treated. Some posters are lucky to live in the USA with the A.D.A laws protecting us.
 
I think that is horrible and it gives me the chills to what would have happened to me if I had been born in a country like that.
 
It does happen in every country even in our own country like Canada or another country like USA, same for Mexico and South America. It is everywhere. It is true, that it is horrible. The vice president should know better not use the deaf-mute children for their selfish needs to get money coming into the school or for himself. Gawd, That is sick!!!! :eek:
 
Another reason I have a great distaste for China as well as any Chinese products.
