No. This isn't one of those collections of horribly dressed/undressed customers.

Police: Calif couple tried to sell baby at Walmart

God, I hate tweekers

Yeah meth is a nasty drug. People do all kinds of things under it's influence. It's very sad.

I saw that, I didn't read the article, though, it was too depressing and heartwrenching, but I saw they tried to sell the baby for $25 and I knew it was drug related, that's just enough for a good size quarter. Besides, she looks like she's been picking at her face.

Too heartbreaking for me.

That is so messed up. I just hope she aint already pregnant again. Seems the more moronic ya are, the easier it is for you to spit out babies.

I hope they never get that baby back, and I think they should be able to spay and neuter the couple before letting them get out of jail...

Gawd some people are so fucking clueless.

So many sad parts to this story but AT LEAST they did not kill the baby or leave it crying in a dumpster.

This is nothing but sad. The only exception being the two women who alerted the police. Thank goodness they were out shopping at the time.

Thank God the authorities are involved and the child is safe. Can you imagine what type of life she would have with those two as her parents?

I've got no sympathy for meth heads (speaking as someone who's brother was addicted to cocaine), but I agree about the comments.

She probably still will have them as her parents.

I've come to notice that ALOT of weirdass shit happens at Wal-Marts. The number of times Wal-Mart is the setting for strange criminal behavior is staggering. That settles it, Wal-Mart is evil!

This is just sick and sad from the get-go. For such as the parents involved, I am in favor of a far more draconian legal code. The baby will be placed, after a complete medical and behavioral screening, with a loving family, and the parents simply executed. Yeah, I expect to get sme "shit" about that, but before you do, prove to me that these two are worth the expense of incarceration, and that they will not reoffend. The french have a phrase for it, "Por le encourager les otres", (for the encouragement of others).

LOL really? Do you know much about the foster care system in America? The Americans have a saying for it, "it sucks". Are you really naive enough to believe that there aren't as many risks for this child in it as with their parents? There are no perfect answers in this situation. Hate all you want. Everyone makes mistakes. Hopefully this couple will get help and be part of this child's life.

Sorry, but you can't fall back on the "mistake" argument. Yes, they are druggies. Yes they probably offered to sell the baby for drugs, but this isn't a "mistake." These people have no right to their child.

Children services have many many problems and personally, I think it needs to be privatized an the laws related to them completely revamped. But the reality is that of the 100s of thousands of children in foster care, statistics show that about 1% die. Is even that small amount too much? Of course. But the point is to realize the number of children who aren't placed in abusive homes and are eventually even adopted by wonderful loving people. Any child being abused, or dying through the system is too much, but that doesn't mean the alternative is better.

And I DO know quite a bit about the foster care system in this country. Do YOU realize that all you read about is the horrible failures? We don't get articles about when something great happens. When a child is placed and thrives and succeeds and it is primarily because of the love of a stranger. I hate using the example, but look at the move "Blind Side." Technically not a foster care placement, but there are others as well. More successes than failures, and by the way, the statistics are all available as public records.

To say this was simply a mistake, and through a drug rehab program these people should get the baby back is so naive about the facts that it's scary. The will be Children's Services first thing to do. If you get to the point that you are going to sell your kid for a bag a dope though, your chances of getting through rehab and cleaning up enough to deserve your child returned are pretty slim. Better than both be forced to be sterilized and then allowed to go on their merry drug induced way.
