All for money.


If anyone went into the website - ABCnews.com, the most eye-catching title would be "Cops: Grandma Tried to Sell Baby for $75K".

I believe that the main point of this article is not about the amount of money the baby is sold for. Its all about the blood flowing in each of them. How is the baby related to the grandma, just thinking about this would ache anyone's heart.

Indeed, when I first read this article, I was disgusted by such a beastly act! Why, just why would anyone want to sell their baby for money. Isn't contradicting, whereby people always say "Money can't buy kinship"? I guess afterall, there are people who would do anything for money.

However, when I saw the video of how grandma could NOT raise her head and face the reporters to answer any of their questions, instead my heart went out for her. I believe she might have done this in a moment of folly. As what FDLE Special Agent Wayne Ivey said : "When you look at this where the grandmother was willing to sell her own grandchild obviously to some degree for profit, it's appalling.". She could be blinded by the benefits of the profits. Through her actions (of not being able to raise her head), I believe she regretted doing this, and I believe if given a second chance, she would be the one raising her head proudly, telling the world she didn't succumb to the temptations of the benefits.
