On November 10, anti-trafficking volunteer Shangguan Zhengyi reported that two disabled individuals in Xinji, Hebei, had been forced to work as manual laborers by a brick kiln owner for years; the report was met with buck-passing between the police and the 12345 hotline. After he entered the village to report it, the two were found, and locals pointed out that the owner's son-in-law is a police station chief at the Xinji Public Security Bureau.
