The truth about "virtual mothers" giving gifts to their children online
They still wear nice clothes and have fancy phones, not tragically missing out like the sad confessions on the internet.
“I am looking for someone who wants to adopt a child. I am only 2 weeks pregnant and do not want to abort it”; “I am 19 years old, just 4 weeks pregnant, now I am unable to give birth and raise the child alone but I cannot bear to give it up. Now if anyone wants to adopt a child, I will keep it until I give birth and then give it to that person”… These are two of many child donation messages posted online not long ago.
Accordingly, most of the authors of the ads are female students who have children, are not in a position to give birth, and do not want to abort. Many female students even talk at length about their circumstances, regretting what they have done and will do.
The news of the child donation attracted great attention from the online community with many people expressing sympathy and pity for the fate of the young mother as well as the unfortunate child. However, there were also many people expressing anger and blaming the young mother for her “mistake” and now causing a “sin”.
Nga is going online to find help for the mother and child.
At an Internet cafe next to Phung Khoang market (Tu Liem, Hanoi), there is a pregnant female student who often goes online to ask for help from benefactors.
Thanh Nga, born in 1987, from Thanh Hoa, broke up with her lover and found out she was pregnant. When she returned home and was scolded by her family, Nga returned to Hanoi to find her lover to solve the problem, but he had disappeared.
Nga confided: "Now the pregnancy is more than 6 months old, in the past few days, I have only been able to go into the chat room with the hope that someone will be kind enough to help me and my baby with some money to rent a place to live until I give birth."
Being questioned by reporters, Nga suddenly became irritable and cursed. After many days of observation, the reporter realized that Nga was not as poor as she had been told. Nga still wore dresses, branded bags, expensive phones and was always picked up by stylish young men on motorbikes.
From the online advertisement, the reporter called the phone number. After 3 rings, the voice of a girl from the Central region came on the other end: "Hello, this is Hien."
After greeting and explaining the reason why she was looking for an adopted child for her infertile cousin in Nghe An, the girl regretfully said: "Thank you for caring about me and my child, but someone here came first and I already agreed."
The reporter continued to call 0903998…, and was immediately invited: “So, looking for an adopted child? Right away, a chubby boy. If you like, meet and negotiate the price.” The other end of the line recounted the plight of a third-year student from Phu Tho with an “unwelcome” pregnancy.
"She needs 20 million VND and will be supported with accommodation and nutrition until she gives birth," the woman asserted. The reporter arranged a time and place to meet the pregnant woman and the deposit.
On the appointed day, the reporter went to the address the woman said was a coffee shop, on Xuan Thuy Street (Cau Giay, Hanoi) to meet her, but waited for a long time and no one came, and when he called the old number, it was turned off. The reporter continued to call many other numbers, but after many days of hard work, there was still no result.
Meanwhile, Ho Thi Lan (Vinh, Nghe An) and her husband were infertile and wanted to adopt a child to bring joy to their family. When they heard that some young people were posting online about giving away their children, Lan and her husband were very happy.
They followed each phone number posted with the ad, but weeks passed and they still had not received any results. Ms. Lan said that most of them were “virtual mothers”, mainly scammers online, or looking for ways to get money.
