Shocking report on the sale and purchase of babies

 Mina Heidari, Ettelaat newspaper

The baby seller says: The price of a baby boy is 100 million tomans and a girl is a little higher. You pay half of the amount in dollars or coins when you hand over the baby, and the other half when you hand over the birth certificate, which is in your name. I'm saying that the baby's parents may want to take the baby back later. The answer is that they can't at all. Our phones change quickly.

These groups are also active on the dark web. They announce their conditions and say that they will hand over the baby in one of the cities of the country that they themselves determine and that I have to go to that city to pick him up. In return, they will receive a certain cryptocurrency. They are scary even in cyberspace.

I visit one of the maternity wards in Tehran: I ask the nurse if she has ever encountered a person in the hospital who wants to sell her baby. She answers that this section is related to the intensive care of newborns, and because most of them are premature or have various problems, mothers sometimes do not have the patience to organize their child and leave the child and prefer to run away.

In the same maternity ward, a woman who offers to take care of her fourth child is pregnant. Because he can't even fill his stomach.

The former manager of a hothouse in Tehran says: "A few years ago, one day, my colleague came into the room and said that an addicted woman came and wanted to sell her baby girl for 20,000 tomans. I couldn't understand. Every time I hear it, it's still strange to me, even though I've had such experiences many times in the workplace with consumers. Surprised, I asked, "Does he want 20,000 tomans?" My colleague said yes. I said, "Does that mean two to 10 thousand tomans?" He said, "Yes, he is a hangover and wants to use drugs." He has come twice since the morning and said that he wants to hand over the child to you. He had written a letter asking me to help him so that he could entrust the child to the welfare department.
