Baby put up for sale on Craigslist

Quote:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A couple has been arrested in what Canadian police said on Tuesday was an apparent offer to sell a seven-day-old baby girl on Craigslist for C$10,000 ($10,100).

A woman who saw the offer on the popular website alerted police who tracked down the 23-year-old mother and 26-year-old father using a cell phone number that was listed in the advertisement.

Vancouver police said the couple told investigators the offer was a hoax, but were arrested for public mischief with other criminal charges possible as the investigation continues.

"There are so many questions here," Constable Tim Fanning told reporters.

Police said the advertisement described the baby as "very cute" and "unexpected" and that its parents, who could not afford to care for it, wanted to give it a good home.

The child was put in the care of social workers.

Similar to the story about a German couple offering their baby for sale on ebay for 1 euro.

I wonder if I can put Grandma up on craigslist? [88][88]

That seems an awefully cheap price..
I mean the gestation period is 9 months after all. That is asking for about 950.00 a month.

Sheesh. We are in a bad economy aren't we.
Then again, sell a baby a year you might be able to afford to drive to work for a few weeks.
