A week ago I came across an article that at first I could not believe. At least 10.000 refugee children have disappeared in Europe since the Syrian conflict began. ¿10,000 children?? ¿Disappeared in Europe??

¿How they may have lost track of the European authorities 10.000 children??? What I surprised to read the news was not only the story itself. It was the fact of not having heard anything about it before.

I have to admit that I do not watch television, In fact, those of you who know me know that we don't even have a TV at home, but, How is it possible that no one comments on this topic? How is it possible that I discuss it with family and friends and no one has heard anything? Yes, we all know how the issue of corruption is in our country, not to say, how up to date we are with the pink panorama ...! Forgive my sincerity but I am very sorry ...

The objective of today's article is none other than to send you the news and, of course, express my bad being about it.

I think we are all aware that we do not live in a rosy world. Every day atrocities happen that sometimes it is better not to mention, but, How is it possible that so many children are lost in Europe??

According to the European Police Office (Europol), in charge of fighting crime at European level, the trail of half of these children is lost in Italy, where is believed that 5.000 children has fallen into the hands of the Italian mafia than, possibly, will use boys to move drugs and girls as prostitutes ...

The most serious, is that they are talking about a criminal organization born some 18 months with epicenter in Germany and Hungary, from where human trafficking networks receive children from Italy and Sweden, in the latter, others are considered lost 1.000 children; and distribute them throughout the rest of Europe.

I understand that many of the countries where refugees are arriving have been overwhelmed, and they have not been able to cope with the care they needed. Is even spoken, of situations in which refugees have been put in cells with common prisoners ... but those children have not all been able to disappear at once.

Another problem is that it is intended to criminalize NGOs and organizations that are helping refugees, so that, What solution is this supposed to have?

Developing a strong infrastructure through which refugees are welcomed and, above all, children who are arriving alone are protected, since how can we see, they are the most vulnerable.

But also, European authorities must come together to search for these children. I believe that a criminal infrastructure capable of making 10.000 children, it's dangerous enough for Europe to come together and fight it. What do you think you?

Thanks for being there!
