SAUDI ARABIA (KTLA) -- A Saudi man is reportedly trying to sell his son on Facebook for $20 million.
The only information Saud bin Nasser Al Shahry requires from the buyer of his child is what city in which he or she is located.
The Saudi Arabian man apparently is in need of money because of a court decision to shut down his illegal debt-collection business, the Venture Beat reports.
He told Emirates247.com that selling the boy was his only option to avoid living in poverty with his wife and daughter.
While the country's government considers child trafficking an offense, reports have indicated the act occurs fairly often in the country.
