A woman sold her nine-month-old baby for P45,000 to pay for the debt she incurred while betting on e-sabong and for other living expenses.
According to “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho,” the woman, “Carla,” served as an agent of online sabong for extra income but she eventually got hooked into placing her own bets.
As the lenders kept asking for their money back, Carla became stressed and felt cornered. She couldn’t think of any other way to get some cash, so she thought about selling her own baby. Asked whether she had second thoughts about pushing through with the transaction, Carla said doubts did cross her mind. But she couldn’t think of anything else to do.
The baby was sleeping when Carla handed her over. After the transaction, however, the mother had a change of heart. She left her live-in partner, “Ben,” in the dark about the transaction. She made an excuse about leaving their baby with her mother, and then said she bought the phone for P2,000 from a friend. She also deleted her chat messages with the buyer.
According to the NBI, this is the first time they encountered a case of human trafficking or child abuse in relation to cybercrime. The penalty for the crime is jail time of 20 to 40 years.
