And Still I Rise

If I told you a mother rented her baby,would you believe or say it's just an April Fool's joke? Well truth is really stranger than fiction as that drama was recently brought to the nation's attention. One mother rented her baby to help another woman con her boyfriend into believing she had given birth. Yes folks,baby rental can be a sure way to beat the recession blues.

Strangely, the only charge I read was the use of a false instrument(a birth certificate). I would have thought there would have been some charge relating to child endangerment,abuse,neglect or anything applicable on the books. It's disgusting enough that women/parents accept money rather than allow the courts to prosecute child molesters but this is a new low.

It's high time mothers/parents desist from using their children as objects to be sold to the highest bidder.It's high time too that we have a Family Services with enough teeth to undertake the serious business of protecting our children.
