Chinese couple sell children to pay for MMO
Chinese couple sell their kids to support their MMO habit.
Quote: "We don’t want to raise them, we just want to sell them for some money," said the couple, when asked if they missed them. To be fair, you can't fault them for their honesty.

Maybe they got a decent trade for their old children?

Probably. Maybe the regulations changed in recent years, but I watched a documentary awhile back, and couples are paired with a social worker that will have a chat with the couple about the 1-child thing and be with them for the birth. They would have had to go under the radar with the pregnancy, which I guess wouldn't be too difficult, but then if they went to a hospital to deliver the kid they'd have to explain themselves.

I can only assume this was done over a period of several years, otherwise the authorities would have cottoned on to them having more than one child.
This callousness is breathtaking though.

To my understanding you can have 2 or 3 kids if you live out in the country or "small towns" (probably as large as small cities here) and the 1 child thing was limited only to the big cities.

Anyone can have more than 1 child in China. They just have to pay tax. I'm not sure exactly how much but i figured it must be a lot to discourage it in the first place.

So noone here find this event relevant to both "parent" being under 21? The world is not going to hell. This kind of things are what happens when you let children marry each other. The original news article is here
