Court documents reveal that the mother-of-three thought she was genuinely selling her son to potential buyers after she was handed cash in response to her advertisement at a meeting in a shopping mall in Yekaterinburg.
Aitmatova handed over all the documents for the child, including his “medical card, insurance policy, birth certificate, and migration card,” said a source.

“She was asked several times if she knew exactly what she was doing, if she understood that she would never see her son again, because those who ‘buy’ him do not want her to have any contact with him.
“She said that she understood everything.”
The mother “kissed and hugged the child and cried, and the boy took the hand of the 'aunt' who was posing as a buyer and they walked away together”, reported RIA Novosti.news agency.

"The boy hugged his mother as they said goodbye, but it all happened in silence.”
As the mother kept the cash in her pocket, she lied to the child that his father will pick him up later.
The sting operation was conducted by anti-slavery and trafficking group Alernativa and Russian law enforcement officers after her online advertisements to sell the boy were spotted.

The mother had posted adverts on various sites including those dedicated to organ transplants, including liver transplant groups.
While negotiating the price, she was very calm and even gave the buyer a chance to talk to the child.
Officers quickly detained the mother - a native of Kyrgyzstan - on child trafficking charges.
She was seen handcuffed and in a court cage at her custody hearing.

A female judge remanded her in custody for two months pending a criminal investigation.
Talking to the judge, she said that she was selling her child to clear her debts and also because her new husband did not like the child, whose father was her previous partner.
The boy is now in the care of social services while his future is decided.
Her other two children, a boy, and girl, are with her husband.
