I just mentioned this to a friend. I think he said it best.
This is a whole new low.

We can only hope they went to loving homes desperate enough to have children by any means necessary - the alternative is unthinkable, and given the lack of attachment and though I fear the parents had no moral objections to selling them to anyone - so long as they were the highest bidder....I showed more responsibility, though planning and care in selling a litter of puppies bred for selling

There really is nothing else to say but just wow. Why would they have kids when they are under 21 anyway?

Ok, seriously people: There's this little thing called adoption...if you don't want to look after your spawn after going through all the damned trouble of bringing them into the world, take them to an orphanage. Ok, yeah, it ain't the BEST solution but...atleast they get looked after and considering half of the deplorable methods i've seen of people trying to get rid of their children and atleast they get looked after. Let me repeat this one more time for you all, don't sell your child into slavery, don't kill them, don't dump them in a river. Just, take them down to the local orphanage and place them there to be cared for by them. WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN PEOPLES HEADS NOWADAYS!? URGHHHHH!!!!!

I'm sorry if i went off on a tangent here but....JEEZE! This is low, i mean, REALLY fucking low!

Shit sell yourself if it means that much to you. But your own fucking kid? That's just messed up in so many ways.

... *head meets desk* (or in this case) *head meets keyboard*
Seriously!
They actually sold their children to play games... I am a little bit of a game freak, but that is something that I wouldn't even think about.
Really, just goes to show how there are a lot of stupid people in the world

Adopt more kids
Sell those kids
Infinite profit as long as you don't get caught
OT: Who the hell did they sell them to?

Ironically, the stupid crept back in and then some! Brain damage for the win!

OT: This is just dumb.

Nothing else to say here, it's just 100% all natural, home grown, stupidity.

The kind rednecks are good at making. Or was that moonshine? Eh, same difference.

For the love of God, I hope they sold them to people who wanted a child and not to sex slavery or something.

If they sold them to people who wished to raise them, then we only need for the couple in the story to be made infertile, and the story suddenly has a happy ending.

Er? *sighs* I don't really know what to say. Hopefully the kids went to a good home, that's all I can say.

Well, at least they were honest. To bad that doesn't excuse them from being total dumbasses.

If you assume (optimistically) that they sold their children to parents who actually wanted a child to raise and care for, then the kids are actually, in a way, better off.

That's optimistic, however =S

Aside from that one bright thought, I agree with the comment that there just aren't enough facepalms to cover something of this magnitude of fail.

Question marks are your friend. Embrace them. Just sayin'.

OT: Wait a minute, doesn't China still have that law forbidding families from having more than one kid? If so, are we sure they're being arrested for selling the kids rather than having more children than is legal? It's a horrible thing to do either way, I guess I just have a morbid curiosity about this.

Cheap adoption. Adoption costs money (and not just in China). Most likely the child was sold off to a lower class family that couldn't produce their own children.

Well, children are treated somewhat as property in the western world, and if you want to get rid of them why not for profit?
The question is who would buy children for that amount of money in china, it's not like they are difficult to produce.
