The disturbing advert for
the newborn baby posted on OLX was live on the site for 12 hours before It was
pulled off for breaching the site’s terms and conditions. The Brazilian
baby was put up for sale for just $430. The ad featured a snapshot of a
little boy, dressed in a blue outfit, alongside the caption “Cries a lot and did not let me sleep and I
have to work to survive”.
Police children protection officer Marcela Orçai said officers were now trying
to track down the person who placed the promo. “We are trying to locate
the person who posted the ad”, Orçai said.
OLX, which has operated in
Brazil since 2010, said it had no involvement between advertisers and customers
using its platform, reports Jornal do Brasil. OLX classified website is the
largest consumer trading website in the world with a presence in some 107
countries. Each month the company reports that it receives more than 100
