Man tries to sell exgirlfriend's baby on Craigslist

According to the criminal complaint, Marquez, who works as a stockperson at a Victoria's Secret, admitted he posted the listing just to get back at the woman. The two met online and had been out a few times, but he apparently was angry because she wouldn't pay him enough attention, authorities said. He gave out the woman's number "and offered her daughter for sale," according to the criminal complaint. There was no indication he actually meant to sell the infant.

Oh, gee, you mean a single mother with a young baby and a job has no time for you? What a twist! Seriously, this guy is claiming he meant it as a joke, even though he reposted the ad. She's lucky she didn't date him longer.

She should've listed him for sale on CL as a useless piece of shit, local pick up only.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

To be fair, the fact that he listed her number means he probably didn't intend to sell.  Still a harassing, asinine "prank."

They're currently trying to figure out if the call she received was a concerned person or someone with serious intent to buy.

Charge him with human trafficing and throw the book at his ass.

He tried to sell the baby for only $100? I'd be pissed if somebody tried to under-sell my baby too.

Let's not be too hasty.  Craigslist seems like a solid choice if you're trying to sell a baby.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

Eh.  Since it's pretty clear he had no real intent to sell the kid, the most they can get him on is harassment.

Still, get him on harassment.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

Nah. You'd probably want Backpage for that.

Since he had no intention to sell, can they also get him on fraud?

Only if they wanted to be pedantic about it.
