A couple in China were turned into authorities after it was discovered the pair began selling off their children to play online games at internet cafes.

The Sanxiang City News reports (via ABCNews), the parents, Li Lin and Li Juan, began selling off their three children in 2009. One child, a baby girl, netted about $500 U.S., while the two boys, both newborns, netted about $4600 U.S. each.

The couple was finally turned in by Li Lin's mother after she learned of their actions. The parents did not know they were breaking the law, and said, "We don't want to raise them, we just want to sell them for some money."

Mother: Hunny! Quick! We're almost out of money, and I'm SO CLOSE to getting to level 37 on World Of Warcraft!!

Father: Sell Wang Yang hunny! We can get about $2000 for him!




Judas Priest, what is wrong with some of these nuts. People need a license to have kids. Everyone takes a psych eval, and of the people who pass it, still deny a random 10% of the people who pass just in case.

But really it's OK for adoption agencies to sell children for thousands but not for the parents to sell them? Sounds to me like the kids might be better off anyway...
