A high-profile incident occurred in Indonesia.
A man has been arrested for selling his 11-month-old son on social media.
He carried out the baby sale deal without his wife's knowledge to fund his online gambling addiction, Mail Online reports.
The father received approximately £730 and invested the money into his online accounts.
The child was discovered missing after the child's biological mother returned home in Tangerang.
The woman could not find her son and immediately suspected something was wrong.
She demanded an explanation from her husband, and then went to the police.
After being questioned by detectives, the man confessed to selling his child to pay off debts.
He impulsively spent the money he received on the Internet to reduce his debt obligations.
The baby's buyers were arrested, as was the man, on suspicion of human trafficking.
In Indonesia, this crime is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a large fine.
