Anyone can make accusations, but there must be something making those accusations credible.
And I'm sorry, but an attempt to sell your baby, whether she intended to go through with it or whether it was a scam, should result in the children being removed. Period. People who sell their infants have serious issues, IMHO, and they have no idea what the children will be used for. Child for an infertile couple? Or ritualistic abuse/sex trafficking/servant?
If this was a scam, she invited potentially dangerous forces into her home, and that much is obvious from her own stab wounds. And I think that same assault will be, in part, mitigated in court if it turns out she promised this woman the baby and then didn't go through with it. It was the RIGHT thing to do, as both actions are criminal, but either way, she's an awful parent. Who knows what peril her kids could have been in?
That's if all this is true, of course, but considering I've been saying the same thing for days, these allegations are not shocking to me. The mother seemed off from the start, and it seemed she wasn't a target by accident.
I'm sure that's true for most, but with all due respect, that could likely be said for any region. MOST people live for their children. There are also people out there who just...don't. I've lived in Orlando and could say most moms there adore their kids. Then you have Casey Anthony. I live in Tampa now and don't know one awful parent. But then there was the guy who tossed his baby out the car window. There are creeps everywhere and it doesn't matter where they live.
