German authorities give baby back to mom who put him on eBay
A woman who earlier tried to sell her baby on eBay was reunited with the infant after being investigated by German authorities. The police were alerted after several people called to complain about the eBay auction offering the 8 month old because he “cries too much,“ the opening bid was for just 1 Euro. eBay, as expected, removed the auction as soon as they were made aware of it, and there were no bidders. The ad read “near new, rather loud, portable using pram or sash.“
The mother was quoted in Bild newspaper after her arrest saying: “It was only a joke. I just wanted to see if someone would make an offer. They’ve taken my son to hospital and I’ve got to take psychiatric tests next week.“
Mom and child were reunited on Saturday after she completed a week of psychiatric testing. She and her partner are now taking parenting classes and remain under the supervision of a social worker. The still unidentified mom now says she wishes she’d never even thought about the “joke.“
