This is unrealistic

How could a mother sell her own child in the first place? It's too crazy, and for what? For a loan repayment?
I don't understand if people are becoming too desperate and crazy nowadays, or if I'm just constantly surprised by such news. I understand that she might not have any other options to pay off her loans, but selling your own child goes against humanity and is reminiscent of slavery.
Even if she's living a tough life and might end up going to prison, it's her problem, not the child's. The child must be free and has their own rights that no one can take away from them, the mother should go to jail and be punished for even considering such an act.
This is cruel world. This scene is beating my imagination because I can't comprehend how a lovely mother would give birth, imagine the pains she went through just to deliver that baby and she's keen on selling that baby for a huge amount? Make it make sense if not wickedness and poor planning. This is another day for us to gather together and fear women because that gender are capable of anything.
Everyone have a right to freedom and also a right to life, women should not engaged in any affair without knowing the repercussions. Because they tend to pay dearly in full and this incident alone would ruined the entire life of that woman. This is my kind advice to others out there, don't engaged in any illegal activities or take drastic decisions simply because you're in huge debts, nobody is going to kill you and you deal with your problem.
