Anyone can sell just about anything on Craigslist. A baby is not one of them.
A couple from Tennessee is now in custody after they attempted to sell their 5-month-old on the website for $5,000. John David Cain, 26, and Deanna Lynn Greer, 37, actually placed ad on Craigslist offering up their infant, an ABC News affiliate reported on Saturday, citing the Greene County Sheriff’s Office. They were charged with aggravated child abuse and aggravated child neglect or endangerment.
