Sorry, but I haven't been able to find an English source to back up this news flash.
So I'll just have to translate a bit:

quote:

Emmeloord - Yesterday, on the web site Marktplaats.nl (kinda like Dutch version of E-bay) an ad has been posted in which a mother from Leeuwarden offers her one year old baby to be taken over. The placer of the ad says she's a mother of four kids.

She is planning to get rid of the kid because she has other things to worry about and can't handle kids all too well. She also wrote the baby has no diseases and can be picked up free of charge.

Marktplaats.nl has taken the ad of the site. It had been viewed by 152 people. The local police wasn't available for comment, though they admit they're still investigating whether it concerns a prank


Dunno, if it's true or a prank.
If it's true, I'm kinda ashamed to admit I'm Dutch.
If it's a prank, it's a helluva prank...! Tasteless and arousing, but it does get yer ass on the news...

[I'm off to bed, I'll update as soon as I wake up this afternoon.]
