Mom tries to trade 4-year-old son for a wedding gown
An Iowa mother has taken the old "baby as commodity" story to an all-time low. According to the Davenport police, 31-year-old Marcy Gant has been charged with a felony count of child selling for her attempt to trade her 4-year-old son for a wedding gown. Well, at least she was trying doing the right thing by getting married, eh? I guess that's her logic: He might not be her kid anymore, but at least he won't be a bastard.The sad thing is, apparently she didn't even feel her son was worth the whole price of the dress. Police said Gant bought the wedding dress from a local street vendor, provided a percentage of payment, and offered her son to make up the rest of the balance. "During negotiations for the payment of this wedding dress, on at least two occasions, Ms. Gant offered her 4-year-old son as collateral," said Dave Struckman of the Davenport Police Department. A street vendor? Something tells me this was no Vera Wang.
