A man accused of trying to sell his infant daughter online has admitted to posting the advert, which offered the girl in exchange for 5,500 dollars, the police said on Monday.

These two don’t what to be called dad and mom. If they claimed to be joking, then that was an expensive one.

That joke was too expensive, proper investigation should be carried out cos u might end up finding out the baby isn’t even theirs.
