You might have read many weird stories, but nothing could be this shocking and bizarre.
A poor Chinese couple swapped their one month old infant for a mobile phone.
According to the article, the young couple sold their infant for 2,500Yuan( $366) as they didn’t have money to raise the child, but the father was very happy with the price he got and decided to spend it on a mobile phone.
This incident came to police attention when a child trafficker was caught selling that infant for 10,000Yuan ( $1464).
Li, the 21 year-old father, a migrant worker, and his girlfriend Xin(19) are detained.
“When I got 2,500 yuan for the baby, I thought I might as well buy the phone I always wanted,” Li said.

what happened to the infant?
Oh, sorry for that. In the spur of the moment, got angry and commented. But how can people be like this!
Its sad indeed.
‘ Gosh! Ripped off that couple for a hell lot of profit. ‘
How could you even say like that. Think of the poor child.
Oooh, exciting! What phone did he buy???
What has this world come to when the technology becomes more important than a childs life.
Ohh.. that would be cruel of me if I was serious, I meant it sarcastically.
I am curious too.. Haha.. if that be a cheap Nokia phone then should be a really bad choice..
A cheap Android too would have been a bad deal… No idea what it could be..
