Chinese couple sold their baby for an iPhone

Some people go to the extremes to buy things for themselves, but nothing is more extreme than what this Chinese couple did who apparently auctioned off their own offspring and went on to buy an expensive pair of sneakers and an iPhone.

This ruthless couple, identified only by the media as Mr. Teng and Ms. Zhang, is facing criminal charges in Shanghai for their sinister deed. In their defense, the couple claims that “We did not give the baby away for money but in order to give it more security.”

However, the prosecuting panel isn’t buying into their alibi and says that they have enough evidence to believe that the young couple did spend the proceeds (CNY50,000PHP 403,045USD 6,870INR 582,140EUR 6,540 or Php353,177USD 6,018INR 510,199EUR 5,732CNY 43,829) on their lavish online shopping spree. Their plans is to use the unemployed couple’s bank records to back up their speculations and eventually put the two behind bars.

Sadly, this ain’t the first time that China made the headlines for such an atrocious act. Two years ago, a Chinese teenager named Wang Shangkun sold his kidney to buy an iPad 2 and a laptop. Luckily, justice was served to the group of men behind the crime, and we’re hoping that the same fate will befall this couple along with their accomplices.

  1. Tang ina niyo nay at tay! Paglaki ko pakakainin ko kayo ng maraming maraming apple!

  2. Ayoko man maging bitter pero sakim tlga ma intsik na yan. Pati hindi nila afford gustong kunin. Ano na susunod nyan? Sino naman sasakupin nyo pag wla na maalok ang asia sainyo?

  3. grabe naman sila…sobrang sama para lang sa isang iPhone na malalaos din pagkatapos ng ilang taon ipagpapalit nila ang baby na priceless…iba na talaga magisip mga tao ngayon wala nang konsensya kung pera man habol nila mabibigay naman sa kanila un ng baby pag lumaik at magkatrabaho tsk tsk

  4. what do you expect from a race who eats a fetus?

  5. iPhone? Bitch, please! Only the latte-sipping, politically-correct, SNL-adoring morons from the tri-state area would do anything for that.

  6. si jill rose lang ang nakapagpapasaya sa kin!

  7. tindi tlaga ng martketing strategy ng apple, kung hindi mga homeless binayaran para lang pumila at bumili ng iphone pati mga tsinoy ginagamit na, hindi na ako magtataka kung may pinoy na kumain ng iphone.

  8. grabe ah, di ko masikmura yun. Di bale walang gadget basta kasama junanaks ko.

    May nabalitaan din ako dati. Bininta yung kidney para may pambili ng ipad. Tsk tsk tsk!

  9. This is better than abortion. But it’s so unacceptable! Put them in jail and let them rot to death!

  10. This simply proves how far idiots can go for an overrated gadget. What a bunch of idiots they are.

  11. pero choice naman nila yun. ang mga tao nagbibreed ng dogs tapos binebenta yung puppies. same lang.

    madali lang naman magbreed ng bata. makakagawa naman sila uli. i’m sure yung nakabili ng anak nila, masaya na rin kasi naka-ampon na sya ng bata. or may panggawa na sya ng soup.

    mas importante ang gadget.

  12. this only means no one is willing to sacrifice anything just for cheapy Samsung! bwahahahahahaha! :))

  13. Napaka-engot naman nyan mag-asawa na yan, para lang sa ipnone binenta anak nila. Buti pa kung LG G2 ang binili nila, kahit ibenta pa nila buong angkan nila ok lang. Snapdradon 800 plus OIS camera. oh yeah!

  14. Mga intsik beho!

  15. Where is the photo of the couple?
    Where is the photo of the child?
    What are their real names?
    I’m a bit skeptical as to the veracity of the story.

    Ang nakapagtataka pa, yung ibang binili gaya ng mga high-end shoes, hindi pinangalanan yung brand pero sa gadget talaga namang nakabandera yung iPHONE?

    Hmmm, amoy isda.

  16. @wew, you have point. But I can’t help wondering hehe.

    This is from yahoo news:


    Investigators found the mother,
    whose FULL NAME WAS NOT GIVEN,
    used the money to buy an
    “iPHONE”, high-end sports shoes
    and other goods, it said.

    All are in generic terms except for iPHONE.

    Perhaps you are right wew, kasi nga sikat worldwide hanggang sa universe ang iphone, so it’s a perfect element to include in writing sensational news.

    But, reading between the lines, this news can also be a subtle way of saying, “this is how prescious an iPhone is, so you should own one!”

    hence, marketing strategy. Like epol said earlier.

    And, isn’t that in china, the gov’t owns the media?

    Oh, i’m getting too far! Hehe!

    Nah, Nevermind, this is just gut feeling.
