Sold on a Monday


Summary: A newspaper reporter snaps a photo of two poor children next to a sign that read “2 children for sale”. The career boost doesn’t exactly outweigh the guilt of broadcasting someone’s personal life.


Takeaways: Sadly, this story is based on true historical events including a real newspaper photo that swept the United States and an adoption organization that stole poor children to sell them to rich families. Themes of socioeconomic standing, mental illness, and moral dilemmas.
