Mother tries to sell kids on Facebook for $4000

[Badweather]

@Masaii, I'm definitely not trolling. Just pointing out the fact that NONE of us know the entire story. Who knows, this woman could be evaluated and deemed mentally/socially retarded.

Just because I pose an argument, doesn't mean I don't agree that this is a fucked up person. However, I can't judge her 'cause I have no idea of the events in her life that lead to something sooooo idiotically desperate. I can look at it like "damn that's fucked up." But when I look at it objectively, without preconditioned social response...I think "what could have lead her to make that decision, which to her was justified?"

Dare to think from different perspectives. Fuck that trolling bullshit

[Witty]

Some people are just scum, I understand the need to believe that people who do things like this have some sort of excuse...but sometimes people are just selfish fucks who don't care about anyone other than themselves.

I see. :)

I'm that bitch. Lol.


@Figurative, it's done purposely *thumbs up*

[Fig]

You've got em tucked away in that belly button cut shirt

[Ghost1]

seems like the children would potentially be in better care ne ways, tho the first thought that crossed my mind was, what kind of person buys a baby off FB?

[veritas]

Co sign^

Anyway: the act is deplorable morally. Bad weather, she should have used adoption if it was an "undesireable"

This lady should be sold to pirates far cry 3 style

I hate to be the one defending the child trafficking parent.
But lets look at this from a different perspective.
There isn't a lot different between this and putting a child up for adoption. As far as we know, she did research on the family she was selling the kids to & she was genuinely trying to give them a better home. I think it's a safe assumption that she wasn't looking after the children very well and she might have truly believed that she was giving them a better home.
"But anonymous" I hear you say, "She only wanted the money to bail her boyfriend out of jail"
Well, that may be the case, but we all know that the media enjoys to over-dramatize things to make a better story, so we know the fact that her boufriend was in jail wasn't gonna go unnoticed, anything to make her look worse. Adoption agency's aren't giving these kids away for free, so why should this chick. I seem to be ranting on a bit now so I'm gonna stop.

Tldr; Don't judge anybody from something you read on the Internet/ hear from the media.

Thats true, but at the end of the day, we are really given only what the media gets too, unless you go on a personal quest to find the truth lol heres other articles I copied n pasted from other news e-links, as you can see some of the figures change, but the story remains the same.

A mugshot of US mother-of-two Misty VanHorn.(Sallisaw Police)

A woman in the US has tried to sell her two children on Facebook to raise money to bail her boyfriend out of jail.
Misty VanHorn, 22, from Oklahoma, was arrested over the weekend for alleged trafficking of minors on Facebook, The Oklahoman reports.

VanHorn repeatedly offered her 10-month old daughter for $1000 or a package deal with her two-year-old for $4000 on the social networking site Facebook.

VanHorn was discussing a sale with a woman in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Because Arkansas is another state, VanHorn may face federal charges.

"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 (US)$1000," read VanHorn's Facebook message to the Fort Smith woman, according to the police report.

The two children are now in the custody of human services and VanHorn is being held on a $38,900 bond.

@Badweather I totally understand where your coming from, but I guess the real victims here are her babies. I don't have any children BUT I do have a 10 month year old neice and a 2 yeard old nephew whom I consider my own, and it just breaks my heart that parents would go that extreme of "selling" their child for whatever reason.

Sure, she could have taken other proper channels of giving away her babies, like what Veritas said (adoption).

But if she were proven to be mentally unstable then that would been and should be the only exception.

Should be able to sell your own kids, if you can kill em. Why not?

[Ghost1]

U cant kill em when theyre that old, lol

Why? Are they invulnerable to damage?

[super pimp trillionaire]

Stop selling eggs and sperm. Stop renting out your uteri(uterus pl?).

[Immaculate]

Lol... But why have them in the first place then? If you want to end up disposing them.
