Mother ‘Tried To Sell Baby' On Gumtree For £150,000
by Guest Sat Dec 28, 2013 5:38 pm
A mother who apparently tried to sell her baby on the advertising website Gumtree has had her children taken away by social services.
The unnamed 20-year-old from Bradford advertised the "beautiful" baby for sale on Boxing Day.
The child was priced at £150,000, with the advert also adding that he “comes with everything included” and “deposit needed as sick of time wasters”.
The advert has since been taken down by Gumtree.
But it received scores of complaints, and a number of users also contacted the police.
The woman was tracked down and her two boys were removed from her care by social workers, the Bradford Telegraph and Argus reported.
Last night the single mother, who reportedly suffers from post-natal depression, said the advert was just a "silly joke" that backfired, the Daily Mail reported.

the 'sick of time wasters, deposit needed' part makes it feel very unjoking

A "silly joke"??? I wonder if the child will agree when he is able to understand. I hope the Mum gets help for her post natal depression before it's too late and a "silly joke" ends in a disaster
