Investigators claim the mother, whose full name was not given, used the money to buy an iPhone, high-end sports shoes and other goods.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://media.skynews.com/media/images/generated/2013/10/18/265547/default/v1/iphone-1-522x293.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]"Giving away the child was not for obtaining benefits, but giving her better guarantees," one is reported as saying.Some Chinese, especially in rural areas, have a traditional preference for sons, although reports did not say if the child's gender had also been a factor in the case. An official of the prosecutor's office dealing with the case has expressed concerns over "sensationalism" surrounding the affair, but declined to comment further. Shanghai police could not be reached for comment. Reports did not give the amount the couple received for the child, but their online postings allegedly asked for 30,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan (around £3,000 and £5,000).[/QUOTE] wtf did i just read
