Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Man Advertises 'Son for Sale' on Internet Fri May 9, 9:43 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - A man who jokingly offered his five-year-old son for sale on the Internet has had to explain himself to police after a complaint from a concerned web surfer. Police officers visited at his ish home after being alerted by a Canadian woman who spotted the offer on a Web Site selling bicycles and prams, the Times newspaper reported on Friday. 'Hyperactive kid for sale, good at vacuuming, not great at washing dishes because he's too short,' the ad read. 'Guaranteed to annoy. Five pounds ($8) or nearest offer.' , 33, of Carrickstone, placed the ad as a joke about two years ago to tease his son Liam, now aged seven. He then forgot all about it until he heard from the police, the Times said. 'The police officer was quite jokey at the end of the conversation, but said I'd have to remove the advert,' told the newspaper. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is today, but yesterday's tomorrow - Mr. Krabs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gina, 31, ny single mom to - kailey, 8, autism, hyperlexia, depression, anxiety, OCD, DSI trevor, 3, multiple developmental delays, no " official " dx yet parker jade, due 7-25-03 :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
