The 36-year-old mother of three who goes by the name Nargiza allegedly put her son up for sale in an effort to pay off debts that had accumulated.
However, Nargiza was imprisoned under Russia’s child trafficking laws as a result of volunteers responding to her adverts from a charity opposed to slavery.
She claimed to have met the “buyers” at a mall to conduct the transactions, but it turned out that they were actually volunteers from an anti-slavery organization who had responded to her adverts and pretended to be customers.
For a cash payment, Nargiza claimed her seven-year-old kid “didn’t mind” moving in with another family.
“Until the very end, we thought it was a made-up claim, that this was someone’s silly joke or a money-making scam,” a charity spokeswoman said.
