Child welfare officials are investigating the case of a baby who was reportedly rented out to beggars in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.

A state child protection panel says it will file a police complaint once it gets more information from the parents.

The nanny reportedly told the parents she would "rent" the baby for 100 rupees ($2) a day to beggars who attract more sympathy with an infant.

She was found out when the mother came home early to find her child missing

The parents of the seven-month-old child are reportedly reluctant to press charges.

It's an unfortunate state this world, with the positions it constantly forces people into all over the world every day.
