CUMMING, Ga. (AP) -- Police say a Georgia woman has been arrested for placing an online ad telling mothers they could drop off unwanted babies at her home because she wanted one for her teenage daughter.

Forsyth County sheriff's Deputy Epifanio Rodriguez said in a statement Monday that detectives received a tip about the Craigslist ad, suggesting mothers drop off any unwanted baby in a "baby box."

Rodriguez says an investigation found that the 47-year-old woman placed the ad to get a baby for her 14-year-old daughter. Rodriguez says the woman said her daughter wanted a baby and would find a way to get one, so she decided to help.

Police say the daughter faces juvenile charges related to the ad.

The Associated Press doesn't generally name juveniles charged with crimes and is not naming the mother to avoid identifying the daughter.

I don't even.....what the hell Gaf?

Was this to deter the daughter from having sex or something? I'm not sure I get the rationale.

 

[Monocle]

Oh darn, I have a few babies to spare. Too bad I didn't find out about this ad sooner.

 

[uncelestial]

She lives in a town called "Cumming" and felt she had to "find a way" to produce a baby?

 

[Chariot]

God, this sounds so much like getting some kind of pet. That's fucked up.

 

[Ferrio]

This year's hottest xmas present.

 

[Kyuur]

Weird, but what kind of charges could she be facing exactly?

Georgia? Must have been close to the Florida line.

Georgia? Must have been close to the Florida line.

Nope. It's north of the metro Atlanta area, which is considered "north Georgia."

This ... this is so bizarre.

 

[rpmurphy]

Lol... better than teenage pregnancy, I suppose.

 

[Kaladin]

I wonder if you can still find the Craigslist ad.

 

[plasmasd]

So if I place a craigslist ad asking for someone to drop off a baby because I am making a baby stew, I could get arrested?

 

[newtypepilot]

G/A/F now includes Georgia now?

wtf the town is named Cumming...

 

[cameron]

Get your daughter a puppy, lady.

Weird, but what kind of charges could she be facing exactly?

Williams was arrested on Friday in Cumming, Georgia, about 30-miles north of Atlanta, and charged with "unlawful advertisement and inducement for adoption of children,” according to Deputy Epifanio Rodriguez of the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department.

I poked around atlanta area and couldn't come across it, but I don't use CL regularly.

Yes, not because you deserve to of course you stallion, but because of Obamacare.
Pm me your address I keep a couple babies in me at all times.

If baby cow is veal, then baby human should be peal. Not that I want to give away any restaurant ideas, but is there a difference in taste between formula-fed and free-raised?

As someone who sounds a like a venerable baby factory, I appreciate the offer. I think I'm going to go with Nadya Suleman right now since she has a pretty proven track record delivering the goods

I'm just amazed that their first instinct was to go through the most blatant and illegal way they could think of. I'm definitely not an advocate for teen pregnancy, but wouldn't that have been infinitely easier to do?

 

[Beaulieu]

Something seems to be missing from that story
Why is the daughter charged ?

 

[Count Dookkake]

No fucking way.

 

[anarckitty]

::sigh::

I live in Cumming. This is just embarrassing...

 

[Aiustis]

...If she was that desperate, she should have just let the girl get pregnant?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they weren't aware that this was illegal.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

why not a dead baby

 

[bengraven]

...to eat?

I do believe the most blatant and illegal way would be to steal someones baby. By comparison, this seems tame at worst.

I'm reminded of an episode of Dr. Phil I saw like 10 years ago. This teenage girl wanted a baby to the point where she's had sex with multiple men of varying ages. So he let her into a room of crying babies and let her see how she handled it.

I don't think that's how you get on MTV.
