A German boy, taken from his parents by officials after the discovery of an eBay posting offering the child up for sale, has been returned to his home. The ad placed May 24th read: "Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller." the starting bid was 1 euro. Otto Gaschler, deputy chief of youth services in Unterallgau, told the AP that the posting was "like a game for them. They never thought that this stupid joke could have such an effect." Both parents are in their early twenties and clearly have a lot of growing up to do! Perhaps they should have been made to take a parenting class or do some volunteer time at a shelter prior to the return of their child. -- CNet New Blog.
