In Milan in 2007, just after Romania entered the European Union, police noticed a surge in theft and pick-pocketing carried out by Roma children.They launched a major investigation involving phone-tapping and surveillance, which revealed that a criminal gang was using the children to generate huge profits."In a month period, each kid earned about 12,000 euros. // Liviu Tipurita, who has made films about Roma and child trafficking for many years, has similar fears."My fear is that without immediate help the Gypsy child thieves I've encountered in my journey will grow up into hardened criminals," he said. "And the cycle of abuse and exploitation will spiral out of control."
