Custodial dad convicted of selling son on Internet (Beijing, China)

Read this account carefully and you'll see that this unmarried UNNAMED DAD had custody of his toddler son. If this father "didn't have the time or money to raise" this boy, then why didn't the mother have custody? Control freak, much? Or Daddy just saw a great money-making opportunity here, so that's why he insisted on having possession of this child?

BEIJING, Friday

A court in China has given a 22-year-old man a suspended jail sentence for selling his toddler son on the Internet for 18,000 yuan ($2,650), state press reported today.

The man from the central province of Hubei sold his two-year-old son to a Beijing couple in April last year after advertising the child online, the Beijing Times reported.

The unmarried Lu sold the child after he split up with the boy’s mother and decided he did not have the time or money to raise him, the report said. (AFP)
