[People News] An increasing number of videos have appeared online in China showing that large numbers of cases involving the abduction of children and minors are occurring daily across the country. These cases are also linked to live organ harvesting and organ transplantation. The authorities have done nothing about such crimes. In addition, multiple videos related to organ donation by minors have recently been widely circulated on social media platforms. With these layers of information overlapping, a profound sense of fear has spread through society. Many parents have publicly stated online that, for the sake of their children’s safety, they have decided to let their children “suspend schooling to save their lives.” This topic has triggered a wave of discussion.

According to a report by The Epoch Times, on social platforms such as WeChat, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu, comments from parents across various regions about “not letting children go to school” are no longer sporadic, but are continuously accumulating in a relay-like manner. On January 22, a netizen named “Brother Zhu” posted a video saying: “My daughter will stop going to school starting tomorrow. She is 14 this year. Whether she succeeds or not doesn’t matter anymore—so long as she can grow up safely, healthily, and happily.” A large number of responses quickly appeared beneath this comment.

Netizen Mr. Zhang commented: “My son is 16. I’m raising him at home. As long as he’s safe and healthy, that’s enough.”

Netizen “Orange Who Is Used to Loneliness” wrote: “My son isn’t going either. We can’t fight them. As long as he stays alive, it’s fine.”

These comments received a large number of likes.

In addition, discussions surrounding schools’ unified physical examinations and unified blood draws being linked to organ matching have also been very intense.

Netizen “Master Fengmu” wrote: “Hurry and bring your child home—saving their life is what matters. This is blood-type matching; once the match is successful, the child disappears.” Netizen “Ten-in-a-Row” commented: “A child’s life is more important than studying. In this society, criminals have already set their sights on children.”

In response, Attorney Zhang from Hubei pointed out that the current panic among parents does not stem from any single specific incident, but rather is a concentrated reaction to the collapse of trust in the CCP system. He said: “I’ve also seen online reports circulating about children dying under mysterious circumstances and other public social incidents. In a system where information is opaque and power is unchecked, the public has no way to verify the truth and no channel to hold anyone accountable. There is a huge gap between the official narrative and popular perceptions.”

He believes that the CCP authorities’ long-term avoidance of independent oversight and suppression of questioning voices have forced parents to assess risks on their own through fragmented online information. He said: “For example, you scroll today and see that someone’s child went missing while at school, was beaten to death at school; tomorrow, someone dies in a hospital for no apparent reason. When even basic safety cannot be guaranteed while children are at school, parents can only choose self-protective measures and bring their children home. This behavior itself is a vote of no confidence in this system.”

Through these discussions, parents have increasingly come to understand that the CCP government’s attitude toward crimes such as human trafficking and organ trading is one of indulgence and indifference, showing complete disregard for public safety, further amplifying the fear among netizens.

On January 20, the WeChat public account “China Human Organ Donation” released a video involving organ donation by minors and individuals who had just reached adulthood. The footage shows a young man who had just turned 18 completing organ donation after his death, with medical staff in the operating room collectively bowing in tribute. The video also shows images of a birthday cake and an organ donation certificate, sparking online discussion.

In addition, multiple screenshots of earlier campus activity footage have been circulating on social platforms. One image shows several students wearing school uniforms standing in formation indoors, holding placards bearing words such as “organ donation” and “offer up life,” with the background being a school auditorium or activity room. These screenshots have recently been rediscovered and widely shared.

Mr. Wang, a parent in Wuhan, said that it was precisely these repeatedly appearing images and propaganda that made him uneasy about what his child was being taught at school. “My wife and I decided to suspend our child’s school classes—not go to school, but study at home—because we’re worried that, lacking judgment, the child might be forced to sign an organ donation certificate.”

Over the past month, many posts have appeared on social media both inside and outside China compiling cases of accidental student deaths in recent years, including sudden deaths during school hours or on the way to and from school, falls from buildings, and drownings. Such information has been frequently reposted and has become one of the key bases on which some parents assess risks.

Some overseas netizens commented: “Chinese doctors have already become devils in white, so brazenly promising patients a replacement with a young heart. Is one life worth only 300,000 yuan? Take all the organs from a living person and distribute them to five or six patients to reduce costs?”

“Those beasts who wrote organ transplantation into law in China are truly demons among men!”

“These doctors are even worse—if the United States supports us in overthrowing the CCP and catches these people, they must be sent to the gallows!” △
