chinese mother kidnaps daughters friend
Tougher Laws?

The Chinese communist party is using the horrible crime of a mother involving her own teenage daughter in a failed kidnapping, and the murder of a fellow classmate in an effort to further demonize gambling and draw popular support for even tougher Chinese gambling laws.

According to casino gambling news , the murder was committed as a result of a failed ransom demand which was needed to pay gambling debts in the amount of $400,000.

While earlier media reports indicated the kidnapper was a degenerate drug addict and barely mentioned gambling, later reports are slowly playing down and even eliminating the drug addiction and are beginning to blame the ‘evils of gambling’ on this horrible act.

Mrs. Jiang Ying, a middle class married mother of a16 year old daughter in the Nanjing province of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), originally described as a degenerate drug addict, wound up gambling ‘high on drugs’, repeatedly losing at illegal Chinese mafia gambling dens and owing almost $400,000 US to a mafia loan shark.

The loan shark made it clear that unless a large payment was made, Jiang Ying’s parents would be killed first. The points (interest) on such a sum alone would double the amount owed every 90 days.

The Kidnapping

Jiang Ying concocted a plan which would involve her 16 year old daughter selecting a classmate who she thought came from a wealthy family, inviting the classmate over to a fictitious birthday party where she would be drugged and held for ransom.

The daughter agreed, and invited a female classmate who she thought had a businessman father who drove a nice car and owned a small business.

After drugging the victim, Jiang Ying and her daughter both realized that there is no way they could ever release the now unconscious girl alive, and killing her would be the only way to prevent the victim from revealing their identities.

 ‘Plan B’

Jiang Ying and her daughter quickly murdered the unconscious girl and proceeded with the ransom demand after coming up with a clever plan. After placing the dead girl in the trunk of the family car, the pair bought a modified mobile phone capable of completely changing and distorting a person’s voice.

Jiang Ying placed a ransom phone call to the now dead girl’s father, asking for $750,000US, and also placed a phone call to her husband (using a disguised voice and pretending to be a kidnapper who also took their daughter.

Unfortunately for everyone Jiang Ying’s daughter miscalculated the wealth of the now murdered girl’s family, who did not even have a small fraction of the ransom demanded. Both fathers contacted the police to initiate a kidnapping investigation.

Police Investigation

Just as the police were beginning the investigation the next morning, Jiang Ying and her daughter showed up to the police station to drop the kidnapping charges.

Jiang Ying’s daughter memorized a story which she related to the police, claiming that both girls were late the previous night and were so scared of being punished, that they concocted the ransom story and called each other’s fathers.

When police asked where the other girl is, the girl lied and said that she decided to go to visit relatives at a faraway province.

PRC communist police are not known for being the trusting bunch of guys, and have enough experience with interrogations to quickly understand that the girl’s behavior was wrong and there is more to this story.

The girl appeared under the influence of some substance and changed her story over nine separate times. It was later revealed Jiang Ying gave her very nervous daughter a large dose of methamphetamine in an effort to ‘boost her confidence prior to talking to the police, which had exactly the opposite effect.

The next morning, Jiang Ying’s daughter confessed everything to her father and outlined the entire kidnapping scam. Police promptly arrested the pair but since the schoolgirl is 16, police are not sure what crime to charge her with. The mother most likely will face the death penalty after the 1 day closed trial was concluded.

A Tragedy

This horrible story is now being used as a propaganda tool by the media to demonstrate the alleged degeneracy of Chinese gamblers driven insane by ‘their insatiable lust for excitement’.

If mainland China had similar gambling laws as Macau where a regulated and licensed gambling market existed, the entire story may never have happened. Drugs were the culprit here and not gambling.

The Chinese government is also slowly removing all references to the mother’s daily use of illegal narcotics which impaired her judgment to such an extent as to commit such a horrific act and involve her daughter. The lesson here is about regulation and prevention and not about the creation of even more restrictive gambling laws.
