In Louisiana, a woman traded her two children for $175 in cash and a cockatoo. The mother of the re-gifted children called up the sellers of the bird after stumbling upon their advertisement and a deal was struck. The proud new parents were “unaware of the exact legal requirements for transferring custody of minor children” and nearly received a five-year prison sentence, but in exchange for their testimony against the woman, both sentences were suspended. There is still no word from the cockatoo’s lawyer.

O_O …ok…as it is slowly being processed through my brain I gotta know… is the economy so bad that children these days are worth a bird and 175 bucks?
Sounds like something I would do.
a propaganda: to all the things, exist mastercard!!!
absurd o.O
I read that woman wasn’t even their mother… they were mysteriously left in her care. Guess babysitting wasn’t as lucrative as she thought.
O.o wooow, i bet she was high at the time
Crazy people…
Charles Manson was once traded for a pitcher of Beer at a bar, the waitress couldn’t have children, but by the end of her shift, she thought against the deal and gave him back to his mother and didn’t charge her for the pitcher of Beer.
Imagine how these kids will turn out. >_>;
Man that sucks…
…
Whoever traded her the bird and money got ripped off.
For exactly what reason she sold her children, it shows she is an unfit mother and her children will be placed in the custody of Carl’s Junior.
… Sorry. I’ve watched ‘Idocracy’ one too many times.
In any case senario, I’d like to know where that lady lives. This is going to be the biggest scandal until my suicide in the not-to-distant future.
Haha, I remember hearing about that lady before. As I recall, she wasn’t even their mother! Although I do agree she got the better trade off. XD
Who actually wants kids?
ummmm. it’s even if the bird isn’t hand trained. if it was why didn’t i hear of that deal earlier i so would’ve traded my sister!!!
I’m trying reallly hard not to laugh!
