Texas Woman in Walmart Tries to Buy Child for $500,000

Shit can get crazier.

When I was working in DC as a DOJ Accountant, a crazy, clearly strung out bitch tried to sell me her child for $20. The child was about 3 years old. I was only across the street from the office when this happened.

I was worried, for obvious reasons, gave the nutter $20, and promptly took the baby back to our office building. Security called DCPD. They came, brought in Protective Services, and took the little one. The police told me that had I not gotten the child, only God knows what would have happened to her. They told me that junkies trying to sell children was not unusual at all, and the kids often end up molested, or worse.

I really hate some humans.

Legally you entered in to a conspiracy involving trafficking of children. You could have been being set up. If your story is accurate, calling authorities probably would absolve you of guilt, but you can never be sure. You paid a person for a child, that the way it looks on the indictment.

Remember the old adage no good deed goes unpunished.

It could have been a sting operation.

One thing I have learned is not to try to help children in this kind of situation directly, don't take them anywhere for any reason.

That would be a major red flag to me. Those kinds of prices you would see at Whole Foods or Central Market. But not Walmart.

Satanist, hence the black and white shirt.

Shoot on sight.

In my case, I am a lifetime mandatory reporter. If I had allowed her to walk off with a child she was trying to sell, I could have landed in jail very fast. Especially if something awful had happened to the child.

I get what you are saying, but in my case, who I worked for, the position I held, I could not have legally walked away, and she was not going to part with that child unless she saw a twenty.

I was also within 50 feet of the federal agents (our security were federal agents), who called DCPD when I came back in.
