Kids reported missing, kidnapped in QC

Police are now searching for two Quezon City children who have been missing for two weeks and are presumed kidnapped by a syndicate allegedly engaged in selling human organs, ABS-CBN News reported Tuesday.

Marites Perez said her child, Jeffrey, went missing on August 24. Perez, a resident of Barangay Manggahan on Commonwealth Avenue, said she last saw her child as he was on his way to school.

Victoria Plana, meanwhile, also said her daughter Juvy went missing on the same day Perez's child was allegedly kidnapped.

Both parents said their fears have been bolstered by reports regarding a mother who found her child with a long incision to the stomach. The child died afterwards.

“May mga nangunguha daw kasi ng bata na ibinebenta ang kidney (There are reports that children are being kidnapped for their kidneys),” Perez said.

Perez said that nine-year-old Jeffrey failed to come home after going to school. The child's teacher told Perez that the boy failed to come to class on that day.

Plana, meanwhile, said her daughter also failed to return home after running an errand.

Plana said her daughter's classmates know nothing of the girl's whereabouts.

Both mothers said they are uncertain if their children disappeared together. Some of the boy's classmates said they saw him on Billonco Street in Barangay Manggahan on August 30.

One of the boy's classmates said he saw the missing child running down the street.

Police said they have yet to receive a report regarding kidnap syndicates who engage in selling human organs.
