Cecilia Zhang ... or Cece, as her mother affectionally calls her -- is 9 years old, loves animals -- has two cats, Happy and Lucky -- loves fishing and playing tennis -- loves science. It has been over a week since she was kidnapped from her bedroom. The police has scoured the neighbourhood, appealed to the public -- a blitz has been made with her photo across Toronto. Last Monday, when I was driving to work, I saw a number of police vehicles, horse trailers, etc., parked on Don Mills Road, not far from McNicol. The police did non-stop searches for a couple of days after the little girl disappeared. Volunteers came out. Helicopters were used. Nothing. Yesterday, Cecilia's parents spoke to the media for the first time. Cecilia's dad cried -- a big thing for a Chinese man -- and appealed to the kidnapper(s) to return his daughter. Cecilia's mom spoke to Cecilia. It's been nine days since her disappearance -- chances of Cecilia being found alive are slim. It she is found still alive, she will bear scars for the rest of his life. At times like this, Canada needs the death penalty. We put animals down for attacking people -- whoever kidnapped Cecilia is nothing more than an animal -- nothing more than a vermin, that needs to be put down.
