Chinese dad hides daughter, saying, ‘if your mum finds you, she will sell you’

Chen, who was prevented from seeing her mum during her formative years, says her dad’s actions amounted to ‘child trafficking’

According to mainland media outlet Kankan News, 22-year-old Chen Jiayuan’s parents divorced when she was just six years old.

Although custody was awarded to her mother along with their flat, her father took Chen, falsely claiming she had been abandoned. In reality, he sought control over the property.
