China's police authority published a notice Friday on its website informing parents and relatives to search their abducted children through a webpage established by the authority to help the children find their birth parents.

Since April 9 this year, China's Public Security Ministry has launched a crackdown campaign on children abduction and has rescued 2,008 children as of October 12, in over 1,700 trafficking cases.

However, until now some rescued children still could not find their parents.

To promote the searching work, the ministry set up the webpage Tuesday on its website www.mps.gov.cn, and released the information of 60 snatched children with their pictures, new names, approximate ages, abducted time, present location and contacts.

Beside the first 60 children, the ministry would continue releasing kidnapped children's information, the notice said.

The notice also urged parents of missing children to have blood test in local public security bureau so that the ministry could compare their DNA with the rescued children to help them find the lost child as soon as possible.

In April, the ministry established a national DNA databank to track and trace the victims of abduction.

On Thursday, Wang Bangyin, a father from Guizhou Province found his lost son after the DNA results turned out match, Friday's China Daily reported.

The report said after Wang saw a photo of a child published on the webpage with the number of 39, who he thought might be his son lost in October 2007, he went to the local police bureau for blood test and finally found the son.

The child, who had been renamed Hua Guokang, were the first one among 60 children getting reunited with his parents, the report said.

He was among 15 children rescued by Guizhou police during a swoop in May, it added.

Human trafficking in China is a serious and long-time issue, and experts estimate there are 30,000 to 60,000 children abducted every year.
