Parents Post Baby on eBay for 1 Euro AP Posted: 2008-05-24 16:28:27 BERLIN (May 24) - Authorities in southern Germany said Saturday they have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one euro, the equivalent of $1.57. Peter Hieber, a spokesman for police in the Bavarian town of Krumbach, said the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region, although the child's 23-year-old mother insisted the ad was only a joke. Authorities have launched an investigation into possible child trafficking against the baby's mother and 24-year-old father, neither of whom was identified. "Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller," police quoted the ad as reading. No offers were made for the child in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was posted on Tuesday. EBay later deleted the posting, but assisted police in tracking down the parents. Several people who saw the ad alerted police. Better not get ya parents mad now kids...
haha, i heard that parents would get like 5 years in jail lol, , lol this is one of the stupidest things i ever seen haha, Does the Baby come in a box?
^ yes it does, with instruction manuals in 3 different languages, all accessories included. diapers and care are not included. box is fragile, keep right side up, and is urgent. will not survive 15 minutes without proper parents.
^ then i'm surprised the baby survived for so long already -unsure what if someone actually bidded .. how is that even funny =\
i know >.< i'm not stupid *GLARE* but it's true that a baby can't survive without proper parents ... -unsure
