BABY FOR SALE on Craigslist?

By at 31 May, 2009, 11:20 am

It is such a sad story if it is true. An online ad out of Carollwood pictures a little girl for sale. Natalya Watson first found the ad that was posted Friday night while she was shopping for baby toys for her own little ones, reports Tampa Bay’s 10Connects. “I came across an ad that said, “Brand new or hardly used,” so I clicked on that and saw some lady trying to sell her child,” said Watson. The ad is written by a “single mom”, it says, who’s “barely 18-years-old.” She writes how her career is “just kicking off”, so she’s looking for a family who can devote time to her daughter. She writes, she will even “sign a bill of sell.” “Why

would you sell your daughter, I just can’t imagine,” said Watson. After the initial shock, Watson got worried about the child. So, she sent an email to the site’s legal services folks. They quickly replied saying they would review the posting and work with law enforcement. Watson hopes the ad is not real but as a mother, she is not willing to take the chance. “God forbid, something happened to that little girl, I wouldn’t want that on my shoulders knowing it’s something I could have prevented.” Since Watson contacted the website, the ad has been taken down. And a tip of the hat to Natalya Watson. More FloriDUH
