A Chinese couple who really like to game are under arrest for selling their kids and converting the money into game currency.
From the article: "In 2009, Li Lin and Li Juan welcomed their second child, a baby girl, and came up with the idea to sell her for money to fund their online game obsession. They did so, receiving RMB 3,000 (less than $500), which they spent entirely shortly after.
The couple then proceeded to sell their first child and got 10 times as much for him -- RMB 30,000, or about $4,600. Upon having their third child -- another boy -- the parents followed in their previous footsteps and also got RMB 30,000 for him."
