MIAMI - A Florida woman was charged with trying to sell her infant son in order to pay for a new car, police said on Tuesday.
The baby's grandmother brokered the deal and initially demanded $75,000 but agreed to cut the price to $30,000 when told the prospective buyer could not get a bank loan, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) said.
Really? Trying to sell your kid for a car? You can't cuddle cars! You can't hug them! Well, you could... But that's not my point! Sure, when you're 22, you make mistakes... Everyone does. But to sell your infant, for a CAR? You've got to be kidding me! If you're going to sell your kid for a car, it ought to be a pretty nice one. I can't find anything "on the up side" for this article. It's more of a rant. What do you think? If this was the prettiest, most luxurious, most beautiful thing you've ever seen, and it came with Taylor Lautner, (if you are a guy reading this, imagine a pretty celebrity.) Would you STILL trade your baby for all of that? Please leave your thoughts in the comments area...

Absolutely not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA baby is priceless, where as a car... it's got a price.
Even if it's the most beautiful car you've ever seen. Cars can be replaced, and repaired, babies can not.
Babies have minds, they will grow up do amazing things, and last a long time, and even if they don't they won't be forgotten by those who love them. I can't say that about a car... it will break down after so many years, and then you'll have to get a new one. You'll forget about it and move on, and , well ... you don't see kids at school doing projects on their great, great , grandfather's car, on the other hand you do see them doing it on their great, great, great, grandfather.

It's worth much, much more to say that you had a baby, and supported it, and helped live a wonderful life, than it is to say that you had a car.
The fact that someone would sell their baby for a car, makes me upset, every organism on this planet deserves to have a parent that will support them. Unfortunately this little boy doesn't.

well Mika, you know how much i love taylor lautner but i wouldnt sell my baby for that awesomeness! It's a baby! You can't just sell a human being! Thats so wrong and wierd! Even if you are young, you could try to raise them or even put him up for adoption, but you DON'T sell him for a car!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first of all, that mother must be pretty serious about cars.
ReplyDeleteAnd selling your own child for a vehicle? Now that I type it it sound even more wrong.
Anyway, great post.
Absolutely not! I find horrifying that humans can be so devoid of emotion and downright cruel. Hopefully this woman can change things in her life so that she is happy and find a responsible way to care for her baby and provide it with all the love that it needs.
