Teenager Arrested in Chile for Selling Her Baby on Facebook

Oh dear!



Teenager Arrested for Selling her Baby on Facebook

Verónica Carrera Chaparro discovered that she was two months pregnant in February 2013. Her mother, 42, and sister, 24, told her that her options were to “sell it, get an abortion, or give it up for adoption,” according to police chief Miguel Ampuerto.

The teen in question decided to sell her unborn daughter on Facebook after the father ended their relationship upon finding out that she was pregnant, according to Cuatro.

A couple from Puente Alto, who have also been detained, paid for the child and all hospital expenses before the baby was born, amounting to one million pesos (about $1,900 USD, or 1,400 Euros), according to Cooperativa. Another woman from Concepción was also interested in buying the baby but ultimately decided against it.

The baby was born on Nov. 4 at the Hospital del Profesor de la Comuna de la Estación Central  and was registered with the last name of the couple buying it only one day after birth, according to Cooperativa.

Chaparro, along with her mother and sister, appeared in court in Santiago on Sunday, and the buyers have been detained and will also appear in court, according to ibnlive.


This unique case will be a complex one for Judge Ernesto Silva, because it is not a crime in Chile to orchestrate delivery of a newborn over the Internet, even if financial compensation is offered.

  1. It’s one thing to understand your topic and another to present it in a way that fits academic standards. That gap can be frustrating, especially when you feel like you know what you’re saying but can’t structure it properly. I think that’s why academic writing services exist in the first place.

    What surprised me the most was how much time goes into refining a dissertation after you think you’re “done.” You keep going back to fix structure, improve clarity, and meet formatting requirements. That’s usually when dissertation help starts to feel like something practical rather than optional.
