German Couple Loses Custody of 7-Month-Old Son After Posting Him on eBay for $1.60

Saturday, May 24, 2008


BERLIN — Authorities in southern Germany have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one euro, or about $1.60.

Police spokesman Peter Hieber says the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region.

Hieber said on Saturday that the mother told police the Internet ad was only a joke. Authorities have begun an investigation into possible child trafficking against the parents.

No offers were made for the child in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was posted. The Internet auction site deleted the posting later.

Several people who saw the ad alerted police.

There have been many times that I wished I could give away my kids (but selling them would have been even better).


Jason, don't you work for the state as an IT person?

My son works for the A&M Health Science Center in Temple and he got an email this morning informing him that he had been taken off the hourly payroll and moved to a salaried position with a $700 per month raise. I think he is a PC Tech I.
