A German mother had to pay a huge price for a sad joke that she intended to play. Few days back she tried to sell her baby on eBay with an opening bid of 1Euro. In case you people are wondering why? The answer is he “cries too much,” this sounds as dumb as the idea of selling the baby.

 

eBay

The police were alerted after several people called to complain about the eBay auction offering the 8 month old. When eBay learned about the news they quickly acted by removing the auction .Also there were also no bidders for the same. The ad read as “near new, rather loud, portable using pram or sash.” This is something which I can expect from eBay.

 

Soon she was arrested after the investigation by the German authorities. After the arrest she quoted in Bild newspaper saying: “It was only a joke. I just wanted to see if someone would make an offer. They’ve taken my son to hospital and I’ve got to take psychiatric tests next week.”

 

She has been released for now and has reunited with her baby. She and her partner are now going for parenting classes and are under the supervision of a social worker. The still unidentified mom now says she wishes she’d never even thought about the “joke.”

 

This should set a good example for all the people who come up with such dumb pranks.
