A HOUSING support worker who bought a baby in Nigeria in a "callous" attempt to get a free flat was yesterday jailed for 26 months for child trafficking.
Peace Sandberg, 40, – branded "manipulative and a stranger to the truth" by the judge – is believed to have paid the equivalent of £150 for the three-month-old boy in her homeland.

She told Ealing Council's homeless persons unit she had returned to Africa in December 2006 to give birth and now needed a flat.

Why didnt she just rent a child, it's common practise and "human rights" laws prevent taking biometrics of the child.
