summary
the
Mr. Davidson does not appear to realise fully the danger to a child in "only parting with it for money". This is apparent when one considers his next remark: Hoya are not sold for service nor for prostitution and this child was only five days old",
That may be so. But what was there to prevent the child being re
all when it was older? It may be that boys are not sold specifically for domestic service or prostitution, but unless adoption. is allowed only to those who comply with the safeguards provided by Chinese custom English law, boys stand in peril of ill-usage of one kind or another by their purchasers or adopters.
