Shocking Case: Father Sells Baby for Gambling Money
A 36-year-old Indonesian man, identified as RA, was arrested for selling his 11-month-old baby on Facebook to fund his gambling addiction.
The man sold the baby for approximately 15 million rupiah (around £730) without the knowledge of the child’s mother.
The mother discovered the baby was missing when she returned home and confronted RA, who eventually confessed.
Authorities arrested him along with two buyers suspected to be involved in a human trafficking network.
The case has drawn widespread condemnation, particularly from child protection organizations in Indonesia, highlighting the severity of the crime.
