CHINA — A couple in China have found themselves behind bars for selling both of their sons in order to support their gaming habit.

Geek reports that the unwed couple sold their first son as he was an unwanted pregnancy and the father didn’t want to pay for his upbringing. The boy was sold to a child trafficker.

After finding themselves pregnant for a second time, the parents decided to sell their baby once more. This time, however, authorities were tipped off by the grandfather on the father’s side.

The game they are addicted to was not named, but the father is the alleged addict. Both parents, however, face lengthy sentences.
