We Have A Winner! The “Parents Of The Year Award” Goes To……

….the Pensacola couple who tried to sell their two month old baby for $30.00…..

PENSACOLA, Fla. — A couple was charged Friday with trying to sell their 2-month-old baby for $30 in a store parking lot, authorities said.
Robert G. Ellingson, 23, approached two people in the PetSmart parking lot and offered them a beer. When they refused, he offered to sell his child, Escambia County Sheriff’s officials said.
“At first they thought it was a joke,” sheriff’s spokesman Glenn Austin told the Pensacola News Journal. “But then the mother yelled to the group that they were trying to sell the baby. And one of them called us.”
Ellingson and Maghen Duvala, 25, the baby’s mother, were each charged with four counts of child neglect. They were being held in Escambia County jail — he for $27,000 and she for $15,000. It was not immediately known if they had legal representation. They were expected to make a first appearance Saturday.
The Department of Children & Families took custody of the baby, whose name was not released.
Authorities said the couple also tried to sell their baby in a bank parking lot a few blocks away an hour earlier. They are each charged separately for that incident by Pensacola police with one count of child neglect.

Merry Christmas.

    Why the disparity in bail?

    The moral of the story is, be wary of people who turn down free beer.

    WOOF – Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them

    They didn’t find a buyer. Nobody had the ‘priceless’ amount.

    Woof,

    That’s one of my favorite scenes from any movie, ever. At least, the top ten.

    Have the baby, sell the baby

    Shouldn’t a woman’s right to control “her body” be extended post-partum? /tongue-in-cheek

    Somebody should buy the baby and turn it over to Social Services. Better chance to get a good home.

    Jenna Bush sold for a promise.

    Q: Tell us about your future son-in-law, Henry Hager. Did he do right and ask for Jenna’s hand?

    The President: “He kind of sidled up to me and said, ‘Can I come and see you?’ We were sitting outside the presidential cabin here, and he professed his love for Jenna and said, would I mind if he married her? And I said, ‘Got a deal.’ [Laughter] And I’m of the school, once you make the sale, move on. But he had some other points he wanted [to make]. He wanted to talk about how he would be financially responsible.”

    Q: Did you keep it a secret from Jenna? Mrs. Bush: “We did.

    How much for your women?
