And, in 2019, another woman tried to sell her children because they were ‘an obstacle for dating men’.
But, whether motivated by greed, status, or convenience, one thing’s for certain: the decision to give up a child in exchange for cash represents the ultimate betrayal of parental instinct and duty to humanity.
Mother sells baby to start a business
Shocking footage captured the moment a mother was arrested after trying to sell her two-year-old son for £18,000 in Ukraine.
An amount that could have also funded private OB-GYN liability insurance or maternal health diagnostics.
The woman, 20, from Dnipro, reportedly wanted to use the money ‘to start her own business’ — a decision possibly influenced by lack of access to prenatal financial planning.
The unnamed mother was detained when the buyer handed her cash last year, according to the country’s national police. A video shows a police officer counting the money, and the detained mother being handcuffed.
A social worker is seen carrying the child to a waiting car to take the boy into care — likely triggering intervention from state child welfare services and legal guardianship attorneys.
