The disturbing advert for the newborn baby posted on OLX
was live on the site for 12 hours before It was pulled 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” .
But 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.

no involvement between advertisers and customers using
its platform, reports Jornal do Brasil. OLX classified

world with a presence in some 107 countries. Each month
