(AP) DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A Florida woman and her boyfriend have been charged with trying to sell her infant grandson for $30,000.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents arrested 45-year-old Patty Bigbee and 42-year-old Lawrence Works on Friday in Daytona Beach after they met with an agent posing as a buyer. Both were charged with illegal sale or surrender of a child, and Bigbee was also charged with communication fraud.
FDLE agent Wayne Ivey said an investigation began last month after an informant told authorities the woman was trying to sell the baby. Authorities say the woman originally wanted $75,000 but was talked down to $30,000.
The child's mother is currently incarcerated on unrelated charges.
The infant has been turned over to child welfare officials.
Authorities said they didn't know if Bigbee or Works had an attorney.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. You can't trust an old lady, they're shifty. Just look into their eyes and you know they are plotting something. It could be about how they are going to "accidentally" cut you in line, or how they will "mistakenly" stomp their cane on your foot, or they could be plotting to sell your children.
The most disappointing thing about this situation is the old lady couldn't even make the sale. If you're selling your grandson you might as well do it big. Don't wimp out. I bet she'd pay full price for a "solid gold" necklace from Chinatown too.
Unless it's the kid's fault for crying too much about going into white slavery. If so, that is just outright inconsiderate. Doesn't this kid care about his grandmother's well being at all? 75 G's can get granny a lifetime of all you can eat buffets at Golden Corral and all the Pall Malls she will ever need.
