Philippines NBI raises alarm on child-organ trafficking

I found this news report very disturbing and shocking. Merv.

From ABS CBN News:

The National Bureau of Investigation alerted the public on Sunday over the rampant smuggling of human organs in the Philippines. The NBI said smugglers are now targeting childen who are kidnapped and taken abroad where their organs are sold to foreign nationals.

The human smugglers, whose usual buyers are Middle Eastern nationals, allegedly abduct children and house them somewhere in Mindanao.

Lawyer Ferdinand Lavin of the NBI's Human Trafficking Division said the victims are provided with vitamin supplements to keep their internal organs healthy. He said the victims will then be transported outside the country to undergo surgery for organ transplants.

"Children are being kidnapped and they are housed somewhere in the south, then they will be transported outside the country for organ sale," the official said.

He said that the selling of human organs has become uncontrollable. He cited instances when parents themselves give their children to organ smugglers in exchange for money.

"We have an increasing trend. It’s no longer a person-to-person transaction, it also advertised in the Internet,” Lavin said.

Lavin said that aside from children, Filipinas seeking domestic jobs abroad are sometimes duped by their recruiters for slavery and prostitution. With a report from Ron Gagalac, ABS-CBN News

It comes without saying that a few imacros and firefox add-ons can automate all actions connected to a browser (Mozilla). If you want to automate your system as such, then you may need another script, simple commands will automate your system. Even a beginner can automate things using a simple software called as sikuli all you need to do is to tell Sikuli what to do by giving some screenshots and simple commands.
A GUI will be used with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open siurce scripting application that will use a mix of easy commands like click, type, wait and so on. There's no internal API support, it just searches the screen for the image within the screenshot-that implies that you can use it for anything. There is literally no limit on how you utilize it to automate things.
This is too good to be true, but if you watch the following video, you will come to know that this can be really easy.
