After admitting to selling 3 known babies in order to have extra money for un-needed accessories, Teng and Zhang, China, were arrested. After nearing about $13,000 worth of their own children, they were finally arrested after the police received a tip saying the advertisement was placed on a local messaging board. Selling their kids allowed for the couple to purchase things such as iPhones, high end new shoes and computers. One of the girls have been found and the other two babies are still yet to be found. Because of China's 1 child per family policy, selling children in China has been a problem in the past. The parents of this crime said they "wanted to be able to give their children a better life" not to say something to try to cover up what they did. The mother remains on bail and the father is currently in jail.
