A young woman in Shandong, who was abandoned by the man who impregnated her, has been detained for selling her child to a couple for 80,000 RMB. They were discovered after someone informed on the couple reporting that they had in fact purchased their child. 

Zou, the young woman, had a sexual relationship with a man; after she got pregnant, the man abandoned her. She didn’t wish to have an abortion as she was worried about the health implications and felt she was unable to raise a child alone, so she decided to ‘pre-sell’ the child.

She found a childless couple, who ‘pre-booked’ the baby before it was born through her neighbour who acted as a go between. The couple were relatives of the neighbour and had been married for over four years and weren’t able to have a child. They paid the neighbour 90,000 RMB ‘agent’s fee’ and 80,000 RMB to Zou on the arrival of the child, a baby boy.

After a police investigation, Zou was detained for illegal child trafficking- the report didn’t mention whether the neighbour or the couple would be charged, but the child will remain temporarily in their care whilst the authorities evaluate the case.
