Mother sells 2-month-old baby, gives false kidnap report to police

A shocking case has emerged after a woman was arrested for allegedly selling her two-month-old baby and then reporting a false kidnapping to the police. According to security sources, the mother initially told authorities that her infant had been abducted, prompting concern and investigations into the supposed crime.

However, further inquiries by law enforcement uncovered inconsistencies in her account. Investigators later discovered that the baby had not been kidnapped but was instead sold by the mother to another party. This revelation led to her arrest as police expanded their probe to trace the buyer and recover the child.

Police authorities described the act as both criminal and disturbing, noting that filing a false report also wasted valuable security resources. They assured the public that efforts were ongoing to locate the baby and ensure the child’s safety, while those involved in the transaction would be brought to justice.

The incident has sparked public outrage, with many calling for stricter enforcement of child protection laws and better support systems for vulnerable parents. Authorities urged citizens to report suspicious activities involving children and warned that crimes against minors would be treated with utmost seriousness.
