Woman Trades Baby for Truck

This is one of those stories that I can barely believe. A woman traded her newborn baby for a 1999 Dodge truck. After she got to FL she apparently sold the truck for $800 and some meth.

What is wrong with people?!

Only in Poke County.

Don't confuse me or others with the facts. I realize the article says this happen in another county. My belief narrative is "only in Poke County." I'm sticking with it. I'm in good company.

P.S. No one was physically harmed or defamed in this comment. No animals abused or eated. At least not "pets."

The story mentions that she already had two children taken from her previously. Too bad, sterilization could not be done for these less than humans to prevent further heartbreak or God forbid something more tragic. Even more tagic is she will spend less time in prison than this baby/previous children will in the foster system and she'll get back out and guess what, she'll be able to continue the vicous cycle. Pathetic!

I'll step off my soap box now. You just have a way of finding stories that really tick me off. (no offense meant)

Lol - none taken. Whenever I see a story that makes me want to say to someone "did you hear this one..." I post it here. :)
