A young Chinese couple from the Chongqing Municipality are reported to have sold their newborn baby for 2,500 yuan (6) and then used the money to purchase a new cellphone.

The story in the Chongqing Economic times tells us that the child’s 19 year old mother, Zhang Yao, met the 21 year old father, Xin, on the internet. Their relationship developed quickly and Zhang gave birth to a health baby girl in November.

The young couple feared that they wouldn’t be able to raise the child due to lack of financial support and so they decided to sell the little girl to a man who gave his name as Li Yong.

A police investigation revealed that the child’s parents, Zhang and Xin, spent most of their time on the internet and neither were employed. Their own parents were unable to offer any help or financial support and this prompted them towward selling their little baby girl.

Both are reported to regret having sold their baby and the mother, Zhang, told police that, after the baby was sold, she kept crying and that she now wants to raise a child. The child’s father, Xin, has asked police if could retrieve the child from the welfare center where she is currently being looked after.

Welfare center staff have said that the baby is well behaved, has a healthy appetite and is not frightened by strangers.

Police in the Longsha district have said that they are planning to reunite the family and they hope to return the baby girl to her parents very soon.

Police are currently considering whether anyone can be held criminally responsible as the selling of children is a criminal offence.

This shocking story from China is just the latest in which a very young couple have found themselves facing parenthood without planning or any means of supporting their child.
