Canadian police recently arrested a couple for attempting to sell their week-old daughter on Craigslist for the equivalent for $10,100.
This is the second time in just as many weeks that someone has been arrested for trying to sell their baby over the internet. In Germany, a couple was arrested for trying to sell their seven month old son for 1 euro on eBay, the US equivalent of just over $1.50. Both couples said that it was a hoax, but police aren’t believing it. For one, the German couple posted that they were looking for serious offers only (a little bit ironic, if you ask me).
The couple in Germany could face up to 5 years in prison if found guilty of child trafficking. No one offered on the babies, but people who saw the ads called police.
