A German baby placed up for auction on eBay for the price of bubble gum this week has been taken into custody, police said.The 7-month-old baby boy was advertised on the site for one euro--or $1.57--with the description: "Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller."
The baby has been placed in custody of child services, though the 23-year-old mother claims that it was all a joke. Neither she nor her 24-year-old husband have been identified.
The ad was up for about 2.5 hours, but no bids were made. Several people who saw the posting called police.
