Mother tries to sell kids on Facebook for $4000
 

((Like really? Smh)).

This post was originally published on Mashable.

Here's a quick parenting tip: it's not OK to offer to sell your children on Facebook, even if you really need the money.

Misty VanHorn, a 22-year old mother of two in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, found that out the hard way over the weekend.

VanHorn was arrested on Saturday for the alleged trafficking of minors on Facebook - offering her 10-month old and her 2 year-old for US$4000.

According to the police report, VanHorn offered her children several times on the social network - offering the 10-month old girl for US$1000, or both of them for US$4000. And she had a taker.

Police believe VanHorn wanted the US$1000 to bail her boyfriend out of jail.

VanHorn was dealing with a woman in Fort Smith, Arkansas, according to The Oklahoman. This means she could be charged with a federal crime because the act would have crossed state borders.

"Just come to Sallisaw, it's only 30 minutes away and I'll give you all of her stuff and let y'all have her forever for $1000," read VanHorn's Facebook message to the Fort Smith woman, as unearthed in the police report by the Daily Dot.

She is being held on a US$40,000 bond. The children are in the custody of the state's department of human services, which alerted the police in the first place.

A word of caution for anyone rushing to Facebook to find the alleged perpetrator: there are multiple Misty VanHorns on the social network. Two of them live in Oklahoma. One looks similar to the mugshot released by the Sequoyah County Police Department, but does not appear to live in VanHorn's town, Sallisaw.

Why dont they eradicate this vermin?

That bitch was selling her babies for the amount of a healthy tax returrn, smh. She woulda made more just slinging food stamps on the side.

We need to keep a set of criteria to follow in order for someone to be able to reproduce. There should be a screening test of some sort.

^just when I thought it couldn't get any worse. woah.

her kid was only worth 1k to her?

smh

Babies don't do much, they eat, shit, make noises, and spit up. What would you sell a baby for?

Considering how hard it is to get an adoption, charge at least 25k for that motherfucker.

...I feel bad even answering that question. Damn. Who in the world would sell their own kids? Smfh.

At least 10k

at the least












































the very least

LOL look at these savages having a baby bidding war...











...id say bout 25-35k, nothing less than 50k for twins tho

Im mexican, so the value of my babies decrease.

Only because mexicans have so many babies though and with such a large stock and low need, the price has to be lower.

Now a Japanese baby, that's where the money's at.

I never got why mexicans sold babies, I hear how they sell there women.

Because mexicans have unnecessary amounts of babies, so it doesnt matter much to them to let one or two go for some dinero.

For instance, my friend jose, his grandpa had 22 babies with his wife, until she died from birth. Then, he married another lady and had 22 more babies with her. Now you think that old ass cared equally about all of those kids? If I was in his position, I woulda considered selling. or starting a sports team or something.

Bottom line, that so-called mother tried to sell her children off.

Why have children if you can't even look after them. Tsk tsk.

Who knows the situation @Immaculate. She probably didn't want the baby in the first place, but just felt obligated. For all you know, it could've been rape babies. Not justifying the sell of little humans, but...you can't know and pass judgement on someone if you don't know their lives.

Just like murder, sure the social stigma pings on murder being "bad," but regardless of how it's seen, there's always a reason for it.

Seadad HAS to be trolling.

If some lowlife scum tries to flog her baby for 10k, I can pass judgement on her being a piece of shit that needs to get roshambod

i actually think bw is right.

4000$? That's a bargain! Holy shit, imagine if she went on the black market with those items of hers. Kidneys etc. is needed like hell. I bet she could get at least 50k$ on the darkweb if she wasn't such a stupid bitch. Seeing how she was dumb enough to try to sell her kids on Facebook I guess she never ruled out her options well enough. Human Trafficking just gets dumber and dumber every second now that everyone does it. Smfh.

Don't they just drown them in China?
