Father sold his 11 month old baby to fund his gambling addiction

[Kelward]

I just read the shocking news now on social media and I'm wondering the extreme that people will go to fund their gambling addiction. According to the news, it said that the Indonesian father confessed to selling his baby with the intention to pay his dept but instead ended up gambling with the money. This shows that gambling addiction is a very serious problem, something that can make somebody to get money by all means to fund their crave for gambling.

The story also said that the man advertised the sale of his child on Facebook and I'm wondering if Facebook is aware this. If this story is true that means that people advertise child trafficking through Facebook in Indonesia. This should be seriously discouraged.

I read this news yesterday, it really is an extremely bizarre situation, selling his own son to gamble does not show that he is just an addict, but rather a person with serious mental problems, because apparently he has no feelings for his own son. The problem here is more of a mental health problem, this father is completely out of touch with the reality of the real world.

Gambling addiction is a terrible disease. Actions we won't take on normal day gambling addiction can make a gambler take such actions. There is no solid reason to justify his actions. A man like that should be sentenced to prison. Indirectly it is human trafficking and child abuse not minding if it is his child or not. He should be set as an example to others.

On the other hand, these social media should take full responsibility for identifying illegal activities on their platforms. They should prevent any harmful content from being shared. They can invest in AI or other technologies to assist in moderating and detecting any illegal content immediately it is shared on their platform.

There has been a post I read sometimes back on same similar case of which the parent sold their child to sponsor their betting habit.
This ain't any different and am sure that it might just be highly exaggerated because Facebook won't allow such to trend on their page without deleting it as they do to others who post child trafficking and child sex videos.

Am sure that the father in this story is also very conversant with the slot machine and from my research and findings, alot machine games are very much addictive than other gambling games.
This is just another case of the irresponsible side of parenting that adults go through and it shows that having a wife or having kids ain't a guarantee for a parent or both parents being responsible.

The city's top cop as said in the article knew children re being sold in facebook with prices ranging from 10-15M in local currency.  But they are probably not monitoring it every now and then even when its a common thing. Its more surprising to know buying and selling children is common. After investigation those buyers were also arrested which the authorities suspected them to be part of a larger human trafficking network.

That's what gambling addiction can do. Selling their flash and blood seem to be just nothing to the addict as long as he can gamble. The mother should get rid of this man, he brings nothing to the family anymore.

This is one example of what someone who is addicted to gambling can do, he is out of his mind and cannot think what is right; all he can think of is where to get money to sustain his addiction, Here in our country, this crime is human trafficking and the one who committed this has criminal liability.
Even the takers or the buyers have criminal liability. This is strongly discouraged by our government, which is why they changed it from civil to criminal offense, I have heard a lot of this in our news channel, but people are doing this out of poverty, but selling your child to sustain your gambling addiction is abominable, he will regret this later when his child has grown up.

Surely facebook is not aware since this illegal. Probably this idiot guy use different keyword to bypass Facebook security for illegal sell.

It is quite unsettling if there is a community for something like this on an open social network like Facebook, for keywords to work, there needs to be a group of people that understand them and are willing to buy another person. I will expect such a trade to happen on the secret, dark web.

This person most probably has other addictions fueling their debt and lifestyle and should have a mental disorder which causes them to lack inhibition.

I need to get the app to read the full news, can anyone confirm that the child has been safely recovered?

It may not be related to mental problem. It can be gambling addiction which is what it is. He wants to pay a dept. That means he borrowed money from somewhere before and he wants ti pay the money back and decided to sell his child. I guess he borrowed the money to gamble and he lost the money thinking he can maybe double it or triple it while gambling. He sold his child and still feel like gambling and also lost the money on gambling and he has not pay his dept. He is not worthy of the child. If the person that bought the child is rich and able to take care of the child, it is better the child remain with the person. All that matters is the child safety.

I wonder what's the worst here, that he sold his kid online, that he did so for just under $1000, that he has used that money for online gambling, or that there are people out there who would buy kids online and obviously not for taking care of them but god knows what!
And how did that ad even manage to stay online on Facebook and who is going to answer an ad on Facebook about selling a kid, this would look even to the average criminal like a honeypot operation!

But as shocking as this might be, googling a bit it's not something new nor a unique case, like this Chinese couple that sold unwanted kid after kid to pay for their gambling:

I saw this news on Facebook today, I was surprised to see this being discussed on the forum too, when I saw it I felt sad, being a father is a tough task and a great responsibility and reading this is bizarre and too scary, this person needs serious treatment, I can imagine the situation of his wife, imagine the pain...

And it's not about gambling addictions, human beings are capable of doing anything in desperate situations, it's up to each one of us to control our mind, to filter before making serious decisions.

Gambling addiction as a result of irresponsible gambling has caused many people to do things that they are not proud of. Things that in many years to come will hunt them and they may not be able to forgive themselves leading to depression and suicidal tendencies. This is a call for more safe spaces for gambling addicts to be supported and not shamed. We need more Civil societies and NGOs whose targrt population will include these people. They need all the help they can get. Which may include but not limited giving them small grants to pay of their gambling debts based on some stringent conditions, providing psychological support, as well as some skill so that they can be employed.

Another inhuman behavior by a chain and addicted gambler. Sometimes i wonder where some people have kept their conscience, selling a baby just because of gambling is a very extreme and mean thing to do.

My question is didn't his friends or people who are aware of this on facebook report him to the police immediately and they charge him for child selling? this is to show that people are just so careless now. Hardly you will see people that are ready to seek justice for others again as most people are more interested in whatever that concerns them alone, too bad.

[BABY SHOES]

Sad to see this news... Where a father has the heart to sell his own child. How barbaric.

I read the news a few days ago where the results of trading this child were spent in 1 week, he said he sold his child on the pretext of economic difficulties and his wife did not know because she was busy working.

From the police press conference said - This perpetrator bought 2 mobile phones and the rest was for gambling.

All perpetrators have been responded to... The one who bought and sold his own father...

This is how if gambling has no sense of responsibility, they will do anything to fulfill their gambling desires.

More and more children are being sold in Indonesia and it's not something just started but has been prevailing for a very long time now. Eight people have been reported to be arrested so far. The painful part is that parents were being arrested for selling their kids. Some people act as agents/scouts. While others make pre-orders online and these kinds of content have been going through Facebook without any security measures taking place.

Gambling addiction, Money addiction, sex addiction, and drug addiction can push someone to do such evil. Addiction in general is very dangerous and its hard to quit addiction.

Gambling addiction is a very serious addiction. Gambling addiction can cause people to do any despicable thing even in a moment. Here is the man who sold his own 11 month old son to gamble and took the money to gamble, the father has no right to be a father. Such gambling addicts should be punished to the fullest extent of the law to see that unique people can be reformed. Moreover, every sector in Indonesia should be aware, especially when that person posted on Facebook, there must be known people who saw it, who did not say anything, those people should be governed by the law. Such gambling should be banned by the government where innocent children are not safe.

[aioc]

The father is out of his mind. This is not a work of a normal mind, You can sell anything but never your child. There is a crime attached to this, and the father will eventually go to prison if proven guilty, You really can do anything if your mind is preoccupied with gambling; it will cloud your decision, I pity the father; he should go to rehabilitation before serving his sentence if found guilty, this usually happen in third world country where poverty is rampant and people will do anything just to survive.

[Frankolala]

Oh poor baby that belongs to an addicted father. Is this what addiction can do to someone to the point of selling out his own child to satisfy his addiction. Addiction is a big problem and that is the consequences of gambling for profit without a second thought of thinking if it is possible or not.

I am speechless and don't know what to say on this topic. However, this should a a good reason why people gambling for profit should take of that mentality from their head so that they don't end up in addiction and do all sort of unimaginable things. It seems addiction can make one lose his mind and senses too.

[maydna]

That is insane story where father willing to sell his own baby for his debt but that father ended up gambling. I guess many things happens like that in social media but if there is no report from other people related to that news, Facebook will not do anything. It needs a serious attention from Facebook and the government who read that news and investigate and find the father. It is wrong doing that because of debt or for gambling.

[Pandu Geddon]

I'm sure it could happen not only because of gambling addiction. The mentality of such a father must be sick. Gambling addiction that ends up selling assets until they run out or even committing crimes is still understandable. But selling their own child, the parent must be sick if. Or another possibility, the father may be part of a human trafficking syndicate.

A baby who has not yet sinned, why should he be sacrificed for a crazy gambler?

This is the height of it. I know gambling addiction makes people do some crazy things to satisfy their urge, but this is the worst case I've seen concerning gambling addiction. I believe his chronicity is beyound the ordinary. This is madness of gambling addiction. I don't see what will make someone to sell his child to settle his dept and still use the fund to gamble. Well it's not a new thing I guess people use their children for money ritual. so selling a child is even the least of it, but it is not encouraging.

The story also said that the man advertised the sale of his child on Facebook and I'm wondering if Facebook is aware this. If this story is true that means that people advertise child trafficking through Facebook in Indonesia. This should be seriously discouraged.

I don't think people advertise Child trafficking on Facebook in Indonesia. maybe people thought it was a joke or prank when he first posted it on Facebook until it becomes a reality. Because this days people practice a reckless attitude called "prank" on social media and when the case becomes reality people can't spot the difference between prank and reality anymore. Sometimes it is good when people see something going wrong it should be cautioned immediately so that if the person is even nursing the idea it will die in them.
