Anyone who buys, sells, traffics or profit with a child or young person shall be punished with imprisonment of 18 months to 8 years in prison, thanks to a bill adopted by the Senate next Tuesday. The text, which defines the offense and added to the Penal Code (CP) was prepared by Senator Margarita Percovich (Artiguista slope), from the conviction that it was necessary to establish the offense.

"
Speaking to Ultimas Noticias, said the lawmaker to "concentrate the responsibilities in the selection of adoptive families (in the opening) and the rigorous observance of the list that is emerging from the selection of prospective adoptive families to avoid delays. "
