I am glad this wasnt posted in For Sale and Wanted :)

Tip of a rather large iceburg I would say

Wow, I wonder if they sold it back in 2005 when that report was done ;) :p:

Should move this to non-current affairs.

They'll probably ask for a refund when it becomes a teenager :).

Shouldn't the title be "Toddler for sale", as it's over three years old......;)

Actually, there is a very similar current case that received considerable coverage in Dutch/Belgian media in the last couple of days. I presume the OP heard about that, looked for it on the BBC website, and found this story from three years ago.
