A father has been detained in east China for selling his newborn daughter.
The man, who was desperate for a son, was disappointed that his second child turned out to be a daughter as well, according to Yiwu police in Zhejiang province.
He sold the 10-day-old baby to a couple in another province for 4,000 yuan (£4,500) in late September. His mother reported him to the police after realising that her granddaughter had gone missing.
On October 15, Yiwu city police finally located the couple in Enshi and rescued the baby girl.
