U.S. police investigating after baby put up for sale for $500

Authorities in Florida are investigating an advertisement on Craigslist offering the sale of a baby for $500.

A Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesperson, Gertl Plessinger told the Miami Herald that authorities have opened an investigation but declined to go into details about the case.

Investigators are unsure whether the ad was a crude hoax, or someone actually trying to sell a child online.

The ad also offers to “give” the baby’s four-year-old sister “for free”.

In a screenshot, the ad reads: “Selling brand newborn baby for $500. Baby is 2 weeks old. It sleeps, don’t make noise at night. Formula and clothes will give to you. Can give you the baby 4-year-old sister for free. I live in a quiet influential neighbourhood.

“I work for department of children and families. I don’t wanna be judged for not wanting these kids.”
