http://www.wsmv.com/news/21204908/detail.html

When I first heard of the woman in Tennessee who was attacked & her baby was kidnapped, I was horrified!!! Then I heard that the baby was found & returned & I thanked God for reuniting the Mother & child.

When I heard that the baby had been removed from the home along with the three siblings, I was confused. i felt soooo sorry for that poor Mother!!! I felt she was being traumatized by the local government.

Now it has been announced that the Mother had been trying to sell the baby. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING??? Maybe I've been fortunate enough to never be that broke. I stopped & thanked God for giving me the wonderful life that I've had. NO, it's not been perfect, but I've not gone hungry, I've not abused any children & I've had everything it takes to survive each day.

I just can't imagine the thought process of a Mother willing to stoop so low as to sell her baby. Why do people who can't afford children keep having them??? Why would a Mother want to sell her baby??? Why would a woman selling her baby report it as kidnapped???

The lady that supposedly kidnapped the child has not been released. Has the government jumped in & falsely accused this Mother or have they falsely accused the woman accused of kidnapping the baby??? Has the press jumped in too fast in order to report this story??? What do you think about all of this????

Hi LadyM, i think the press is too quick to report on this story, as details are still leaking out in favor of the mother & the lady who supposedly 'kidnapped' the child. There are too many inconsistencies in this story for it to be totally believable.....lori


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

I tend to agree with you Lori!!! The inconsistencies just keep on coming. I have been through soooo many different emotions with this situation. I wonder if we'll ever know the outcome or if this will be one of those stories that just fades away???

I don't understand either side!!! I just can't understand why anybody would think it is OK to kidnap a child. I really can't understand why a woman would even think of selling her child!!! This whole story is mind boggling to me!!!!

Good day to you, Lady M. This was an interesting story to read through. It would seem to me that there are a lot of loose ends still to tie up in this case.

With the internet, the rush is on to report "happening" news, often before the entire story plot becomes clear. It would appear to me that this story still needs a thorough investigation.

How could anyone sell a baby? No matter how tough life may be, I cannot imagine the horror of handing over your child to someone willingly involved in an illegal adoption. To further add to the stress, all the children are now faced with the uncertainty and frightening reality of being forced into foster care.

I try to avoid reading this type of story if I can. It is not because I don't care, it is because it breaks my heart to think of what the poor innocent little kids are now living through.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

Good morning, my friend!!! I don't care for these types of stories either. Unfortunately, I keep hearing reports on my local news. Somewhat like a soap opera, I just can't help but keep listening. The facts have been very confusing, so when they told the latest report this morning I wanted to know more. I have had every emotion from sad to horrified. I didn't mean to upset you with this story. Thank you for expressing your thoughts!!!

I think that the lady is acting very strangely indeed. I am not sure if her baby was really kidnapped. She must have been mad to sell her baby. Every baby is precious. I have a three month old baby girl. She is my precious little baby and I adore her. In my home country last year there was a lady that declared her little girl Shannon had been kidnapped. She got lots of money from the media coverage. Shannon was found and it had all been a funny set up by her mom. Cases like that are rather weird.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

I think this whole story is strange!!! I've never had my own children. I did have a stepchild. I remember the love I felt for her. I cannot imagine thinking of selling her. I know the bond a Mother is supposed to have is much greater than the bond I had with my ex-husband's daughter. So, I can only imagine how I would feel if it were my biological child. I cannot imagine thinking of selling my child!!!

My babies were and are still the most precious gifts in my life and I would do anything to protect them, even sacrificing other family members if I had to. I don't understand how anyone could even consider selling their child! My sons are now adults but I consider them gifts from God.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

Children are God's GREATEST gift!!! In rethinking, maybe this baby will be better off in a home where he can be truly loved & appreciated!!! I just feel soooo sorry for 4 children who have not had the opportunity of a true Mother's love!!!

it's very bad to sell babies, babies should be loved and cared by a mother very well. i love my children more than myself so i would die if something bad would happen to them so it's very bad to make money out of your children.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

I TOTALLY agree with you!!!! Children are a GIFT!!! They should NOT be abused in any form or fashion!!!

 
7. sophia10 (32)   2 months ago

Yes,in some countries this phenomena do exist!Once one of teachers told me that some families are living on selling their babies!!!The have no choice,however they need to support their lives.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

I'm glad I don't live in your country!!! I don't think any mother who carries a baby for 9 months could willingly give away their child. I bet the mothers in your country have their heart broken each & EVERY time it happens to them!!!

Hi KadyM,



I am very confused with this story, which is the true one/ wait till it all comes out before I could judge this woman, but the poor children, feel so sorry for them.

myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

Hello tamara...I owe this Mother a HUGE I'M SORRY FOR JUDGING YOU!!! I know better than to listen to the press. I should have waited a few days before pointing out her story!!! Yes, I was confused too & that should have been my first clue to keep my mouth SHUT!!! As it turned out, the charges have been dropped against the Mother & Father in this case. A relative of the family (I think it was a cousin) admitted that she was the one trying to sell the baby. I've waited about a week before saying anything else as I screwed up BIG time in starting this discussion!!! I feel better knowing it was NOT the Mother who wanted to sell her child. I don't know that we will ever hear the real truth.. I am pleased to say that ALL the children have been returned home to their parents!!!! FINALLY...a happy ending to a terrible story!!!! I'm going to do my BEST to not jump on anything reported by the press from now on!!! In this case, they did NOT lie. The government just misjudged the circumstances & it snowballed from there.

that is the most ridiculos thing a mother could ever do...

mothers would even go through great deals of sacrifice for their kids.. i am a mom and iknow that. we would give up so many things for our kids.. and do many things beyond our expectations just to make sure our kids have what they need...


selling her baby only shows she is thinking of noone but herself... she don't deserve to be called a mother at all.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

By the end of the day, the local police in her town admitted that they had made a mistake & it was NOT the Mother trying to sell the baby. A cousin came out admitting that she had tried to sell the baby. All the children have been returned to their parents. Now I just have to deal with my guilty conscience for ever bringing this further to light!!! Any time I read something this crazy, I try & wait a day ot two to see if the story changes. I was so upset at the thought of a Mother selling her baby that I jumped the gun. THE MOTHER DID NOT TRY & SELL HER BABY IN THIS CASE!!!
I won't be able to say that enough times!!!

 
10. myLot reputation of 68/100. nra091501 (115)   ranked 3,458 out of 3,902 in family   2 months ago

Could I sell my baby??? Absolutely not!!! I think the mother is even more confused than us... I think she needs help very badly.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2657)   ranked 42 out of 3,902 in family  2 months ago

The Mother doesn't need help loving her baby. It's the police that needs help in knowing what they are doing before they accuse anyone. They had to release the Mother & Father in this case because they did NOTHING wrong!!! They have been given their children back. A cousin admitted that she had tried to sell the baby. In this case, THE MOTHER DID NOTHING WRONG!!! & I should have NEVER said a word. This was just another reminder for me to be MORE careful in what I say. I should NOT have repeated the news report until I could verify the sources. I promise to do better in the future!!! blush
