I've just read an appalling story about a couple who sold their three children for money to play internet games! This is completely shocking. I thought it was pretty bad too when all they had to say for themselves was that they didnt know they were breaking the law! I dont know how anyone could sell their kids like that, especially not for something so unimportant! It would be only slightly more understandable if they were completely impoverished, had no money to pay doctors bills or food for their children, and were worried that the children would die if they continued to try to raise them so they were selling them so the children would have a chance at some quality of life. Even then, if it were me I'd work my butt off to make sure I brought in whatever money I could, and I'd go without for the kids. They should be ashamed of themselves!

If I had a baby, and found I was low on money, I would go without as much as I could, I'd eat very cheap food products, or even go without if necessary, so that my baby still had everything they needed. Internet games, however, are not a necessity, and I certainly wouldnt sell anything precious to fund them. It is very very sad that the parents were so callous.

Internet games are not important compared to children. For a couple living in a mortgaged or rented house I can fully understanding careful budgeting. They might eat budget food and take their kids on free activities like going to the beach, playing in the woods or doing fun activities in the play park.
I would much rather go without and keep my kids. This couple should be ashamed of themselves and doing computer games may one day get boring for them. They might be upset to know they are childless one day. I feel sorry for the three children and hope that have a nice life now.

Yes, I would hope that the families that the children are now with can provide the love and stability that the children deserve. Its just heartbreaking that the parents could treat these precious gifts so selfishly.

This is a shocking story and very hard to believe! If this is true that the parents would sell them for money then i don't think they would have had a very good life at home. I couldn't even think of leaving my child with someone i didn't know for any reason let alone selling him and never seeing him again for any amount of money in the world. A mother's love should be priceless. I hadn't heard of this story until now, of all reasons for money for computer games? That's horrible to think. A big part of me hopes that this story is misleading and that no parents could be so heartless.

I've read the link,and what? "they are not aware that they are breaking any law"
Fine,they don't know about law,but don't they know about parenthood?
Does their parents never taught them how to be responsible "human/s" ?
They deserve punishment and those kids I guess are lucky without these kind of parents around.

Exactly. Parenting is a lifelong commitment. People like them should be sterilized! I just hope the kids are actually getting the love and stability that they need.

What a worst scenario in life! I think they know the law. They just wanted to do that and besides ignorance of the law excuses no one. They must be punished for that and go to rehabilitation center. Maybe they were very obsessed in the game and forget about being a parent. Anyway, Lets hear their side in order to know better the actions they've done.

That was so bad! I guess they are not worthy to be called parents. Parents are persons who take care of their children, love them and sacrifice for them. They should be put to jail for being so irresponsible.
