Exactly what law did he break?

He didn't really have a kid to sell.

Exactly what law did he break?

To begin with, it's probably illegal to offer kids for sale.... even for a joke.

And consider the resources expended by LEO to track this kid down -- they didn't know it was a joke, and it could have been real. I'm sure there are laws regarding that sort of thing, too.
