Disappeared children sold?

I recently watched a report on missing children on YouTube that shook me to the core. I then watched the Netflix series on Maddie McCann and wondered if the likelihood of a missing child being sold was an option at all?

In Europe in particular, a missing child, as in the Maddie case, is a big deal, it is searched and investigated into the thousandth.
I can understand that this is more possible in poorer countries with a large population… But here? Isn't kidnapping children in Europe too blatant a risk for such monsters?

what do you think?

Europe is pretty safe! (Italy had problems there in the 80s and 90s)

Well, Germany is currently missing some children and young people 😐 but you are right, it is probably safer compared to other countries. I just wonder why trade is always a big topic, personally it seems unlikely to me

Missing or Kidnapped?

In the case of missing people, one apparently often assumes that they have been kidnapped, that's what kind of puzzles me
