Umm, yes. If you visit that site, you'll notice that the
stories are mostly about illegal organ sales--most of them
have nothing to do with children, much less babies, much less
"stolen" babies. Two of the stories, which are about the same
incident, mention a five-year-old boy whom his grandmother
allegedly attempted to sell for his organs, but he is neither
a baby nor a stolen one. (Which, by the way, is not intended
as a defense of his grandmother--the story is
disgusting.)
