"Indian woman accused of selling baby for $130


NEW DELHI, Indian (CNN) -- A 20-year-old poverty-stricken woman has been charged for selling her newborn baby boy, police in southern India said Tuesday.

The woman allegedly sold her child for 6,500 rupees (about $130) to an auto rickshaw driver because she wanted to marry someone else after the child's father abandoned her, according to police.

Prakash Jadhav of Khammam district police in Andhra Pradesh state, told CNN that the child's buyer had also been charged.

If convicted, both the woman and the driver face up to 10 years in prison, Jadhav said. "

The poverty level in some areas in India is just astounding. I watched a program on the human organ trade in India and poor people sell their kidneys for not much more than that woman sold her baby for.

And cheap babies.

I don't think that babies are a commodity to be traded, but what I wouldn't give to have that woman's baby for my own.

Where did a rickshaw driver get $130?

And why would anybody in India want to buy a baby? There's not exactly a baby shortage. I can see trying to sell one, sure, but the market is pretty goddamn saturated.

I don't know what motive the guy had for buying the baby but it seems rediculous to give him the same penalty as the woman. Perhaps him and his wife were unable to have children and would have actually given the child a good home. But then again, if that were the case I doubt it would have made it into the world news.

Woman answers ad for bird by offering kids as payment

"Story Highlights

Paul and Brandy Romero advertised the sale of their pet cockatoo for $1,500
Donna Greenwell offered two children, who were not her own, for payment
Greenwell and the Romeros were arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping

(CNN) -- Trading two children for a bird landed three people in jail in Louisiana, authorities say.

The biological mother, who was not involved in the alleged trade, is to be interviewed by authorities Friday. Investigators seek further details about a case that they say unfolded this way:

Paul and Brandy Romero advertised that they were selling their pet cockatoo for $1,500.

A woman named Donna Greenwell responded and said she wanted to buy the bird. Greenwell then told the Romeros that she was taking care of three children whose biological parents were going through a separation.

Greenwell proposed selling two of the couple's children to the Romeros for $2,000, saying that her job as a truck driver made it hard to take care of the children, said Capt. Keith Dupre of the Evangeline Parrish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana.

The parties allegedly negotiated a trade involving the two kids, the bird and $175.

An anonymous tipster contacted authorities after the children began living with the Romeros.

As a result, Greenwell and the Romeros were arrested February 21 and charged with aggravated kidnapping, Dupre said.

The children were well taken care of when they were with the Romeros, who badly wanted children, according to Dupre.

Greenwell said she needed the cash for a lawyer to handle adoption paperwork, authorities said.

She had placed the third child with another Louisiana couple, Dupre said, but he didn't know whether bartering was involved.

The two children were ages 4 and 5, according to CNN affiliate WGNO.

Police did not identify the biological parents, and no other information was available. The children have been placed in foster care."
