    There doesn’t seem to be any accountability for the doctors at the hospital who sold them and other children. They got away with, and profited from, human trafficking.

      And people still don’t get why some people don’t trust doctors…

    Damn, telling the mother their baby died, then selling it… that’s cold.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Ano tried to trace the girl with the pierced eyebrow online but couldn’t find her, so she shared the video on a university WhatsApp group to see if anyone could help.

    They arranged to meet and a week later, as Amy approached the top of the escalator at Rustaveli metro station in Tbilisi, she and Ano saw each other in the flesh for the very first time.

    Amy found a Facebook group dedicated to reuniting Georgian families with children suspected to have been illegally adopted at birth and she shared their story.

    A young woman in Germany replied, saying her mother had given birth to twin girls in Kirtskhi Maternity Hospital in 2002 and that despite being told they had died, she now had some doubts.

    And in 2015, after another investigation, Georgian media reported that the general director of the Rustavi maternity hospital, Aleksandre Baravkovi, was arrested but cleared and returned to work.

    The BBC approached the Georgian Interior Ministry for further information on individual cases but we were told that specific details would not be released due to data protection.

      This is quite a happy story, but that social media can track down an arbitrary person so easily really scares me.
