A special friend of mine from Ireland shared an article with me about someone in Australia trying to sell the children on eBay! It started off as a joke but landed the family in a bit of trouble.  This is not a good idea to try this in America either or family services may come knocking at your door in addition to the police!

Police investigates mom who listed kids on eBay

A mother who listed her two kids for sale on the online auction site eBay as a joke found out police didn’t think it was very funny. 

Officials in the southern Australia city of Geelong were notified last week that a woman was trying to sell her children, a boy and a girl both under the age of 10, on the auction site. The listing included photos of the kids.

Police and child welfare officers then launched a joint investigation and tracked down the woman.

The woman said the eBay listing was a joke, police said in a statement.

While no charges are being laid, “police discourage this type of behaviour,” the statement added.

    That’s incredible. I can’t believe how little common sense some people have. Ebay is the real deal and thousands of people will see your post as soon as you set it up. I can’t imagine anyone thinking that this would be a joke. Ridiculous.

    You should never sell your kids on ebay, that would be terrible. But I can see how certain troublemaking kids might find a better home there.

    Last post was just kidding.
