German police confirm that they today have taken a seven month baby away from a couple in Bavaria and local child welfare investigators are looking into them after the couple put the child up for sale on Internet auction site Ebay. The description read, “Male baby almost 8 months old, sleeps well through the night and does not cry much.” “Good for infertile couple or single man/woman wanting a child.”
The baby boy was put on sale on Tuesday at a starting price of one euro (1.58 dollars) and was withdrawn from the site around two and a half hours later, police said. There had been no posted offers but the couple may have recieved numerous offers via email. The mother said it was meant as a joke, but police and state officials failed to see the funny side, putting the baby into state care and charging both parents for attempted child trafficking. Police cheif Wesley Offerman is quoted as saying, “We all find our kids annoying sometimes but selling them is not the answer.”

Wow - not a lot of value given to kids it seems these days. One mother cooks her baby - another tries to sell her baby to strangers over the internet? Jeez.....

Personally, I think this little tyke is dead. There are a lot of open spaces between Tempe, AZ and Texas - she could have dumped his little body in the desert anywhere - the coyotes would do the rest. Very sad.
