What can you even do with a baby?

“l'll give you an idea. Why as a pup, l myself fetched $30,000 on the black market. That was 1954 dollars. Now, for 50 grand, l'll track him and l'll find him. And the people that took him, l'll kick their butts. No extra charge.”

Sad and horrible things have been done with babies. Don't go looking for pictures or videos on the internet.

With the father's history of domestic abuse I just hope this couple doesn't produce another baby for the purpose of selling it.

Police ultimately tracked down a “contract” signed by both the runaway parents and one would-be buyer, who was identified by authorities as Cody Martin.

It read: “I Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers are signing our rights over to Cody Nathaniel Martin of our baby boy for $1,000 on 09/21/2024.

“Disclaimer: Alter signing this there will be no changing yall two’s minds and to never contact again.”

Literally a trailer park boys episode. I can picture what kind of campground this is.

It said they hadn't even given them the money yet. I'm really hoping they only did it to remove the child from the awful parents, and were planning on going to the authorities in the morning. The man with the plan was heavily intoxicated

Florida breathes sigh of relief

The perpetrators look blood related in the first degree. They have the same lips/nose/eyebrows/jawline. Maybe they have matching his-n-hers fetal alcohol syndrome.

It's Arkansas. ~~Busch Light~~. I forgot they were too woke. I don't know what they've switched to, I haven't drank in over a decade

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

Actually might be Busch light, Budweiser is the woke one and most of them don't realize it's the same company.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest down here
