This article on Proverty of rights on a child is about how over in Ghana, West Africa, parents are selling there children for high as $180 to as low as $5 to fisherman because they were so poor. Fortunately, little over 1200 children were reunited with there family thankfully to Ernest Taylor. But that was only a small fraction of Ghana.

I have 4 questions about this situation:
1. Why would they let there parents sell there children to fisherman under 5?

2. Who came up with the idea to let parents sell there children?

3. How could any parent sell there child for as low as $5?

4. I wonder if this still could be in effect even if they say its over in that part of Ghana.
