A WOMAN in Florida, the United States, 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 US$75,000 but agreed to US$30,000 when told the prospective buyer could not get a bank loan, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said.
The mother, Stephanie Bigbee Fleming, 22, of Bradenton, was to receive US$9,000, the FDLE said.
"Fleming planned to purchase a new vehicle from the money received," an FDLE spokeswoman said.
Fleming also needed money to pay court costs for an unrelated probation violation, the arrest documents said.
Fleming was arrested on Tuesday. The grandmother, Patty Bigbee, 45, was arrested last week with her boyfriend Lawrence Works, 42, both of Holly Hill, Florida. They were charged with the illegal sale of a child. Bigbee was also charged with communications fraud, the FDLE said.
The arrest report said Bigbee offered to sell the baby to a female relative in October, explaining she had been caring for her grandchild but "was not mother material."
The baby remains in state custody.
