OP, I simply do not have a solution that I could offer, though I wish I did.
According to an unofficial tally by the local newspaper, there have been 28 human sacrifices in western Uttar Pradesh in the last four months. Four tantrik priests have been jailed and scores of others forced to flee.
It is in such an environment that the witch doctors thrive who promise desperate people a miraculous way to bridge the gap from have-not to have, from failure to success and from poverty to wealth. They point at the small elite who has become rich in a relatively short time during Uganda’s economic boom in the early 21st century and claim that they have aided many of the nouveau riche to gain their wealth. According to the head of the country's Anti-Human Sacrifice Taskforce the child sacrifice is directly linked to rising levels of development and prosperity, and an increasing belief that witchcraft can help people get rich quickly
This may be an actual cause that needs more exposure, as opposed to the numerous causes that wouldnt really need the daily airtime they get. I've talked to people who don't even believe such a thing is happening in the world.

But you never hear any stories of any of them actually gaining wealth, right?
If you know any news or reports about this happening in India please share them here.

Have a look at this blog and take some time in reading the old articles it talks of plenty injustices done to children including sacrifices.....
The People's Republic of China returns all illegal immigrants from North Korea which usually imprisons them in a short term facility. Women who are suspected of being impregnated by Chinese fathers are subjected to forced abortions; babies born alive are killed, sometimes by exposure or being buried alive

Sadly this is true and there will be those that say education will solve the issue. While in fact even the educated practice such atrocities. In some cases it's called ritual murder but thats just another name for the same thing. Sorry that I couldn't watch the video but I have known about this issue for many years along with the white slave trade that seems to go along hand in hand with this. Yet in both cases, little is done about it.
You would expect the gov. to put an effort into stopping this but as with all illegal trade, if there is a large amount of undisclosed cash to be made they are involved in the business to some extent. There is a staggering amount of children that go missing each year and are never seen again. I fear that their fate is either the slave market, paedophilia's or sacrifice. There are of course those that are taken by a rival parent but that is a small percentage compared too the rest.
OP, I simply do not have a solution that I could offer, though I wish I did.

One of the worlds real problems and atrocities is child sacrifice. It is the ritualistic killing of children in the belief that this will result in personal gain or supernatural intervention in ones affairs or some occult powers. Child sacrifice is not a long-lost remnant of Mayan, Aztec, Incan and other old cultures but unfortunately still alive today.
