‘Monster Mom': Chinese Woman Sells Her Children For Rs 10 Lakhs To Fund Live-Streaming Tips
A mother in China, Huang, sold her two sons to fund tips for live-streaming hosts. She was sentenced to five years for fraud and trafficking. A mother in China has sparked widespread outrage after it was discovered that she sold her two biological sons to fund tips for live-streaming hosts. Shockingly, she allegedly conceived the second child intending to sell them for this purpose. The accused, identified as Huang, 26, is originally from Guangxi province in southern China and only has a primary school education. Huang later moved to Fuzhou, Fujian province, in southeastern China and made a living doing odd jobs. According to the reports, Huang was an adopted child and, due to her lack of education and care from her adoptive parents, left home at an early age. In October 2020, she gave birth to her first son, but struggled to care for him due to financial difficulties and the father's absence. Thus, she decided to sell the baby to escape her predicament. Her landlord, Wei, discovered her plan and introduced her to a relative, surnamed Li, whose son was struggling with infertility and had long desired to adopt a child. Li's family bought the baby boy for 45,000 yuan (US$6,300). As per My News, Huang spent the entire amount tipping livestreaming anchors. After running out of money, Huang reportedly resorted to even more extreme measures. She actively sought out men for sex, intent on conceiving another child to sell for profit. Huang gave birth to a second son, Guyu, in 2022 and sold him to a broker for 38,000 yuan ($5,300), who then sold the baby for 103,000 yuan ($14,000). Reportedly, Huang spent all the money on tips for live-streamers, buying clothes and other extravagant items with the proceeds. Huang was reported to the authorities for suspected fraud on April 13, 2022. During the police investigation, it was discovered that chat records on her mobile phone related to selling children. The police rescued both boys in April 2022, and they've been cared for by local civil affairs departments while awaiting adoption. The Fuzhou Jin'an District People's Court sentenced Huang to five years and two months in prison on July 8, for fraud and trafficking, plus a fine of 30,000 yuan (US$4,000). Li received a 9-month prison sentence with a 1-year suspension for buying a trafficked child, while Wei was sentenced to 7 months in prison. Human trafficking in China has a long and complex history. For decades, a human trafficking market has existed, often facilitated by families seeking to adopt children, particularly boys, to continue their family lineage and boost their social status. This case, reported by state media CCTV, has triggered widespread outrage online. 'Is this even real news from the human world? Only five years for abandoning two children? That is way too lenient," one online observer said. Another said, 'No sympathy. She should be sentenced to 30 years to reflect her crimes properly." 'She is a monster and is not fit to be a mother," the third one added. Get breaking news, in-depth analysis, and expert perspectives on everything from geopolitics to diplomacy and global trends.

More than 200 kids poisoned with lead in China after chef added paint to food
More than 200 children at a school in China have been found with abnormally high levels of lead in their blood after paint was added to their food – apparently to make it look more appealing. The cook was caught by a surveillance camera in a kitchen in the northern Gansu province adding the colorant to a meal. Worried parents have rushed to get their children tested, with the children's centre near the city of Tianshui having been closed since the incident just over a week ago. Some were concerned at the accuracy of test results at the local hospital and have travelled to a larger city to seek more clarity. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video According to Xinhua news agency, the chef at the Heshi Peixin nursery had purchased the toxic ingredient online before adding it diluted to food, including in red date sponge cakes and corn rolls. He then hid the rest of the pigments, which were later seized by the public safety bureau. Tests later found that the food he had prepared contained more than 1000mg of lead per kilogram. A total of 251 children were enrolled at the locally run nursery, of which 233 had been found to have abnormal levels of lead in their blood. Eight people have now been arrested on suspicion of preparing toxic and harmful food, including Li Moufang and Zhu Moulin. Two others have been bailed pending a trial. Some locals believe authorities have a part in trying to cover up the scandal. One told Sky News: 'I don't know much, but I think this is a cover up. I just think local government is too dark, the suppressed abuse.' More Trending Another said: 'There's no clear evidence of a cover up, but it's telling it's what people expect.' China has previously had major food safety scandals, including some affecting thousands of young children. In 2008, infant milk powder formula made by the Sanlu Group was found to contain the chemical melamine in order to increase the product's nitrogen level so it would pass quality controls. Six babies died and another 300,000 children were identified as being affected by the scandal.

Moment brazen thief caught stuffing golden OCTOPUS down her trousers in antiques store leaving owners baffled
WATCH the surprising moment a thief tries to steal a golden octopus from an antique shop - by stuffing it down her trousers. The unique strategy was captured on CCTV footage at Battlesbridge Antiques Centre in Essex. 4 4 4 Perhaps the most shocking part is that the brazen thief managed to get away with it - at least for a few days. Although the theft occurred on July 1, staff only noticed that the oddly-shaped candlestick holder had gone missing this week. After looking back through CCTV footage, the owners discovered video of a man and a woman entering the store, before the woman takes the candles out of the holder and puts the antique down her trousers. At the start of the footage, a man in an orange top can be seen browsing the shelves nearby. He then taps on the octopus candlestick holder, pointing it out to the woman he is with. The pair then continue to stand around idly looking at the shelves in the vicinity. As the man walks over to the rotating display of jewellery, the woman appears to be getting a closer look at the eight-legged object. They try to act casual by appearing to browse other items around the shop. The woman then begins removing the candles from the display. She then starts to stuff the octopus under her trousers - not an easy feat given how large the sculpture is. 'Irish cannot handle spice' - Watch Katie Taylor struggle in hilarious challenge with TWO Hollywood A-listers The curve of its eight-legs seems to be giving her some trouble as she uses her top to hide the rest of it. A glint of gold can still be seen poking out of her jumper which she then attempts to cover behind her bag. Manager Claire Wade told Essex Live that they've only had shoplifters steal from the store a few times, and "it's mainly been young or middle-aged men, not grandparents." She said that the husband had told the woman which item to take and kept a lookout while she completed the tricky manoeuvre. Claire plans to report the incident to the police once they have reviewed all of the CCTV footage on site, as she has rented part of the centre for 15 years. She added: "We were just in shock, it's a great big thing to put down your trousers isn't it?" The item was only worth around £40 and can be bought online, as Claire said: "I don't know why she wanted it." They are using the incident as a warning to customers that they won't tolerate shoplifting. She said: "We want people to know that you can't just turn up at the centre and just help yourself. We're going to do a wall of shame." Commenters on the video were just as shocked by the behaviour as the owner was. One said: "Wow, very desperate and very sad."

Preliminary report into Air India crash finds fuel cut off three seconds after takeoff
One month after the tragedy, an early investigation into the accident has detailed a breakdown of the minutes leading up to the incident, which killed 260 people, as ITV News' Sejal Karia reports. A preliminary report into the Air India crash last month has found that fuel to the engines appears to have cut off shortly after takeoff. According to the report, the switches in the cockpit which provide fuel to the engines turned to the CUTOFF position. The engines tried to restart, but it was too late to prevent the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft from crashing shortly after takeoff. The Air India flight AI 171 departed from Ahmedabad Airport on June 12 and was heading towards Gatwick when it crashed into a residential area. 260 people died in the crash, including 241 on board and at least 19 on the ground. There was one survivor from onboard the flight. Under the International Civil Aviation Organisation, it is a requirement to file a preliminary report within 30 days of a crash. Fuel gets cut off shortly after takeoff According to the report, "Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of one second. "The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off." In a voice recording from the cockpit, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why he had initiated the cut-off. The other pilot then responds, saying he didn't. The fuel was then switched back on to both engines, with both engines restarting one after the other. Engine 1 was able to restart and was able to reverse the deceleration that occurred as a result of the switch off. The report said the engine had "started to progress to recovery". Engine 2 on the aircraft restarted, but was unable to regain stable thrust. According to the report, the engine's core continued to lose speed despite repeated attempts to boost power by reintroducing fuel. Although the engine relit, it could not accelerate enough to return to normal performance. The pilot transmitted a call for 'MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY' with the cockpit recording finishing six seconds later. The report also details a timeline of the flight before the fatal crash: 05.47.00 - The aircraft touched down at Ahmedabad airport after flying from Delhi.06.25.00 - The flight crew underwent a breath analyser test and were found fit to operate. 07.05.00 - The crew is seen arriving at the boarding gate in CCTV recording.07:43:00 - The aircraft requested pushback and startup. 07:43:13 - Air Traffic Control (ATC) approved pushback. 07:46:59 - ATC approved start-up. 07:49:12 - ATC queried if the aircraft required the full length of the runway.

Two minutes from takeoff to crash: 08:07:37 - The aircraft started rolling.08:08:33 - The aircraft reached takeoff decision speed. 08:08:39 - The aircraft air/ground sensors transitioned to air mode, consistent with liftoff.08:08:42 - Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF.08:08:52 - Engine 1 switch transitioned from CUTOFF to RUN.08:08:56 - Engine 2 switch transitioned from CUTOFF to RUN.08:09:05 - A MAYDAY call was made by one of the pilots.08:09:11 - Flight recorder stops, indicating the aircraft had crashed. In the minutes that followed, emergency services flocked to the scene of the accident as social media videos began circulating early reports of the tragedy. Smoke was seen billowing from the wreckage as rescuers worked to recover survivors both on the ground and from the plane. As the day went on, the scale of the disaster became apparent as the number of dead began to rise. A 40-year-old British man was the only survivor who was onboard the aircraft. Several people were also killed and injured on the ground after the aircraft struck a dining hall where medical students were having lunch at the time. A month on, families of the victims are still waiting for details of what happened. Air India's chairman, Natarajan Chandrasekaran, described the incident as a 'tragic accident' and a 'devastating event." Tata Sons, the company that owns Air India, said it would offer around £86,000 to the families of each person who died in the plane crash. They added that the company would cover the medical bills of those injured as a result of the incident. Several safety issues have struck Boeing over recent years; however, this is the first time a Boeing 787 Dreamliner has crashed.
