Indicators

reporters explicitly alleging financial transaction for a person ('selling me')allegations of illicit proceeds from exploitation used to purchase propertytargeting of woman's family and social network for informationimplications of parental involvement in trafficking (selling daughter)

Reasoning

Per REPORTED_ALLEGATION rule, score reflects the alleged underlying act: parents profiting from selling/trafficking their daughter. The allegation is explicit and serious, though sourced through reporter inquiry (subject to verification). High confidence in trafficking relevance despite lack of corroboration in thread; the respondent's rebuttal that this is fabrication does not lower the underlying allegation's severity.
