Child Selling

Acts Causing or Intending Harm to the Person

Child selling is the practice of selling children, usually by their parents, legal guardians, or subsequent custodians such as adoption agencies, orphanages, or mother and baby homes. Where the relationship that follows is essentially non-exploitative, the purpose of the sale is usually to permit the child to be adopted.

Has Offense Grade

Entity-backed identity for the offense-grade enum value this offense already carries, resolved to a crime concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The offense-grade fact itself stays on the offense unchanged.
