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 flourished and Zhang gave birth to a bouncing 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 parents were unable to offer any financial support and this led to them deciding to sell their newborn baby girl.

The parents are reported to now regret having sold their newborn baby and the mother, Zhang, has said that she kept crying after being parted from her baby and that she now wants to raise a child. Xin, the father, has since asked police if he could retrieve his baby girl from the welfare center where she is currenty being cared for.

Staff at the welfare center have described the baby as well behaved, with a good appetite and not afraid of strangers.

Police have said that they are looking forward to reuniting the family and say that the baby should be returned to her parents very soon.

Police are currently investigating whether anyone can be charged as the selling of children is a criminal offence in China.

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.
