wth? women tries to sell her baby

HAZEL DELL, Wash. (AP) - A Vancouver, Wash., woman accused of offering to sell her 3-day-old son for $500 in a Taco Bell restaurant in southwest Washington has been arrested on previously issued warrants.

The Columbian reports that Clark County sheriff's deputies are asking prosecutors to consider charging 36-year-old Heidi Lynn Knowles with attempted child selling, a Class C felony.

In a sheriff's bulletin, Sgt. Phil Sample says officers responded Thursday night to a 911 call from a woman who said another woman approached her in the restaurant, handed her the baby and offered to sell him.

Sample says deputies found Knowles at a motel with the infant, who appeared to be in good health. They called for Child Protective Services, which took custody of the baby.

Sample says the woman denied trying to sell the child.

Deputies took statements from the 911 caller, a companion of hers and a Taco Bell employee.

What is wrong with people these days? I could never sell my baby, let alone for that much! My babies are priceless!

    We will get random messages like:

    "My gf is due in a month with an accident, Let's talk $$$$$$"

    it's a crazy world we live in
  • wow, I can't believe some people! I hope you guys get the baby you deserve :)
  • My grandmother told me about a friend of hers. The woman's son had had a child with this chic and had went off shore on an oil rig. The chic left with his child and got into drugs really bad. The mom of the son tried to get a lawyer to take the child away but the dad had to be there and he wouldn't be able to leave for like 8 months or something. It was a really long time before they'd let him come home. Anyways the chic disappeared. Well the grandma was in the right place at the right time. She was at a store and the chic came in with the child. Grandma went to her of course and was trying to see the child and the woman offered up the child for sell. Grandma asked how much and the woman said how much do you have. She bought her for everything in her bank. She drove her to the bank to cash the check on the spot and in the check thing were it says what is it for she wrote for "Childs name". She then brought her to the crack house she asked to be delivered too. Well long story short the grandma had gotten the woman to sign a piece of paper saying the pretty much jist of it. The grandma managed to get custody of the child. My grandma tells me about it all the time. It was a really hush hush thing. She didn't want the child's name to be all over the place being messed with and stuff. It was a really crazy case.
