A child defecting from North Korea to meet her parents, who had already escaped Kim Jong Un’s regime, was equipped with a GPS tracking device.

Agents of North Korea reportedly planted a GPS tracking device in the toy frog of a young girl they knew was about to defect to her parents who had already fled and were now living in South Korea.

Before the girl left North Korea for China, a man gave her a stuffed frog and said:"This is a gift for you. Give it to your mom," The Chosun Ilbo reported. After she arrived at the Chinese safe house, the trafficker inspected the frog and discovered the GPS tracking device inside of it. The Hana center is one of 25 institutes that help some 32,000 North Korean defectors adapt to a new life in the South, offering jobs, medical aid, and more.
