Boy found after being sold by mother's net lover

A missing 6-year-old boy has been found by Shunyi police after being sold by his mother's online lover, Beijing Times reported on Tuesday. The man has since been detained.

The mother, surnamed Jiao, from Henan province, divorced two years ago and decided to come to Beijing with her son for a fresh start.

In August 2009, Jiao met and fell in love with a Shunyi villager, surnamed Shang, through online chat. The couple moved in together in the district two months later.
