Gang Sells Babies on Social Media for $9,200 Each
David Brennan

Chinese police have arrested six people accused of running a newborn baby trafficking business in which children were sold for as little as $9,200 ($AU 12,512).

The group was operating in the city of Yiyang in the southern province of Hunan, and coordinated using popular messaging platform WeChat, according to The South China Morning Post.

The gang was initially uncovered via an investigation by the Xiaoxiang Morning Post. According to the newspaper—which was quoted by the SCMP—the suspects posted an advertisement to WeChat offering a “newborn, healthy boy” for sale, noting that any interested buyers should “come to Hunan, Yiyang quickly.”

It sounds like a good deal, until you sit down with the finance guy and they start hounding you with extended warranties, undercoating, fabric protection, and VIN etching.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
