Mother Arrested For Selling Her 5-Day-Old Child To Pay For $3,600 Nose Job

Russian Mother Sells Her Child To Pay For $3,600 Nose Job Just Five Days After Giving Birth

A 33-year-old mother from Russia has been arrested after allegedly selling her child to afford a $3,600 rhinoplasty, which is largely known as a nose job.

The woman was arrested at the end of May in connection to suspected human trafficking, according to the Daily Star. The unidentified mother said she gave birth to the infant boy at a hospital on April 25. She reportedly sold the baby boy merely five days later to a couple that sought to be parents.

Newsflash obtained a statement from Russian officials that said, the mother met “with a local resident [and] agreed to hand over her newborn son, who was in a state of helplessness, for a reward of 200,000 rubles ($3,200 USD).”

When she sold the boy, she gave the new parents a “waiver for the rights to the child.” She then received a smaller payment of $360 USD. Nearly four weeks after, the woman received the remainder of the payment.

Officials were later made aware of the act. It is unclear who notified officials; however, the woman was arrested alongside the couple who adopted the child, illegally.

The couple informed cops that the woman gave them the child’s birth certificate along with the child, yet, they failed to admit that they paid her for the child, instead, they said the mother asked for the money to afford a nose job for “better breathing” which they agreed to.

“Currently, a series of investigative actions are being carried out, aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the crime committed and consolidating evidence of the suspect’s guilt,” according to a statement.
