As of last night, January 25, 2010, CNN reported that 1 million children have been displaced by the earthquake. Barricades are placed in the street to cordon off sleeping areas for children. 250,000 children had been sold in to domestic servitude prior to the earthquake that number is sure to rise. Hospitals are very concerned of children being taken and are taking every precaution to account for each and every child in their care. For now, adoptions should stop until the child's status can be determined. A child welfare system has been mentioned to help with that daunting task.
