Mother sells baby boy to buy mobile phone, jeans and tops

[IndoCarib]

JAJPUR (ODISHA): Investigation into the sale of a baby boy by his mother in Odisha's Jajpur district has revealed curious details — the money was used to buy a mobile phone and a pair of jeans among other things. "Rakhi Patra of Mundamala village who sold her 17 month-old son for Rs 5,000 purchased a new mobile phone, a pair of jeans, few new tops (to go with the jeans) and memory cards for her mobile with the money," Jajpur superintendent of police Deepak Kumar said on Wednesday.

The investigations were conducted when a division bench of Orissa high court took suo moto cognizance of media reports on the sale and directed the police to recover the baby and hand him over to his mother. Rejecting the mother's claim that she sold the child to meet the legal expenses of her jailed husband, Kumar said her new acquisitions were evidence of the fact that she did not sell her baby boy due to poverty.

She has confessed before us that she had purchased all these items from the money out of the sale of her baby for Rs 5,000 he said adding the goods were seized from her.

The woman refused to take back her son after police handed her the boy after recovering him from Cuttack on Tuesday. We had handed over the baby but to our utter dismay, the mother refused to take him to her custody in the presence of the general public. Later, we handed him over to child welfare committee.

Rakhi, who is 20 years old and a daily wage earner had in association with a rickshawpuller sold her son to Babula Behera on September 17 in Cuttack.

Police rescued the baby boy from Nuapatana village yesterday following the order of high court division bench comprising Chief Justice V Gopala Gowda and Justice BK Mishra on Friday.

don't give the child back to her, she does not deserve the child, she might sell the kid again for lipstick and eye liner.

Its ot a news worth in Cnetral & South Asia. Its a local news, an isolated incident. Local news are banned.

Worst things are happening in India at much larger scale.

Posting these threads brings trolls and they start generalizing.

 

[livingdead]

Any more details, like the brand of mobile she bought?

 

[Surenas]

Any more details, like the brand of mobile she bought?

Probably a baby phone.

Posting these threads brings trolls and they start generalizing.

Before the trolls start such news is sad to hear in this day and age, people like her do not deserve children. enforced sterilisation should be provided to such people.

These kind of scenerios occur all over so generalisations shouldn't be made, usually children are sold to fund survival for the rest of the family or to provide a better life for the child.

If indeed she sold the child to buy new clothes/mobile then she should be sent to the gallows.

Thats why I don't criticize China's one child policy and forced abortions.

 

[Esc8781]

Let me guess Chinese Iphone , but why would she do that, can't she just sell her kidney?

 

[PakShah]

The mother has done a savage thing.

Absolutely disgusting.

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

Any more details, like the brand of mobile she bought?

You have your priorties set right.

 

[Abingdonboy]

The sad thing is I have heard of people doing a lot worse for a lot less and this news doesn't at all surprise me.




And I am taking of the entire world.

 

[SHAMK9]

Make the mother write a detailed paper on horrible parenting

Let me guess Chinese Iphone , but why would she do that, can't she just sell her kidney?

You guessed it wrong, she is indian naturally she wanted hindustani cryphone.

 

[Karachiite]

Hopefully she bought an iphone 5 and some Christian Dior or Balmain jeans. If she bought some local cheap brand then shame on her
