Cops Arrest Mother in Caloocan City for Selling Her Newborn for P40,000

CHILD ABUSE – The police authorities arrested a mother in Caloocan City for selling her newborn baby for P40,000.

The 26-year-old woman was caught at a lying-in clinic in Caloocan City, just one day after giving birth. Authorities discovered her intentions when they monitored her social media post advertising the sale of her baby girl. The operation was led by the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group.

In her post, the mother expressed that she needed the money for her father’s maintenance medications and mentioned that she was unemployed, making it difficult for her to care for the child.

Mother

Kasi kailangan daw po sa maintenance ng tatay niya and wala po siyang pantustos since unemployed din po siya, wala po siyang trabaho. Walang wala po siyang ipangbubuhay sa anak niya ang yung tatay ng anak niya hindi din alam na manganganak siya, inanakan lang yung nanay,” said PNP-ACG.

The woman even showed an ultrasound result to a buyer who turned out to be an undercover police officer. The mother also revealed that the baby’s father was unaware of her pregnancy and impending delivery.

Currently, the baby is in the care of social workers, while the mother faces serious charges. These include violations related to the Special Protection Program for Children, which addresses child abuse, exploitation, and discrimination. The penalties will vary depending on the severity of her actions.

Despite the gravity of the situation, the mother chose not to comment further on her arrest or her actions. “ipagtatanggol ko naman po ang sarili ko pero hindi po ako magsasalita,” the suspect said.

Her case shows the desperate circumstances some individuals face, which can lead to extreme decisions. The incident reminds us of the importance of support systems for parents in need and the need for awareness regarding child welfare.
