German Couple Loses Custody of 7-Month-Old Son After Posting Him on eBay for $1.60

BERLIN —  Authorities in southern Germany have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one euro, or about $1.60.

Police spokesman Peter Hieber says the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region.

Hieber said on Saturday that the mother told police the Internet ad was only a joke. Authorities have begun an investigation into possible child trafficking against the parents.

No offers were made for the child in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was posted. The Internet auction site deleted the posting later.

Several people who saw the ad alerted police.

I don't think that I'd be treating it as any joke.

It might change the parents' perception of what is funny too, in the future.

I did that to my poor husband one time. Can't imagine doing it with a child with so many baby abductions.

My husband and I were a little upset with one another. Obviously it was all his fault He didn't see the humor in it when I told him tho. I had put in the description, one used and slightly abused huband.

Started getting way to many hits so took it down

Oh Bonnie
I could just imagine you doing that too.  I hadn't thought of it, though there's been many a time I've felt like 'disposing' of him (especially when we were younger). Too much trouble now and better the devil you know...

Oh the thought of training another in. Don't know if I have the stamina anymore for that. As I can barely remember life without him I suppose I better keep him unless I can fetch a good price

Yes. It takes too much time and effort training them. 48 years so far in our case.  Don't think I'd much like starting all over again.

46 years for me last Mach. Feels like I got married right out of kindergarden. You give me hope, another two years and maybe the training will be complete

I don't guess that was too funny, no -- but it reminds me of something else I got in e-mail that was....  (attached)
