Woman uses baby for down payment on car
Categories: Newborns, Just For Moms, Babies
Here's a warning for all of us: use your baby as down payment, get arrested.
That's what happened to Nicole Uribe, a 23-year-old "mother" who traded her infant son in exchange for a Dodge Intrepid and some extra cash. The recipients of said baby, Jose-Juan Lerman and his wife Irene, have also been arrested -- all on suspicion of felony trafficking in children.
Police Sgt. Brett Wilson said she couldn't speculate on the motives for the exchange -- presumably because the car was a Dodge Intrepid, and not something a little nicer.
The baby is now in foster care (thank goodness).

Perhaps the mother knows she cannot provide for this baby. Perhaps the other parents really wanted one. In this scenario, the baby is going from a place where his care may be wanting to a place where he will be wanted and hopefully cherished. Maybe, it's not a bad thing.
