PUEBLO – 9NEWS has confirmed police have recovered a 5-month-old baby they say was sold to get money for a down payment on a car.

so far, no word on the intent of the people buying the baby.

If the police and district attorney believe without a doubt that the people buying the child just wanted a child to love, care for, and raise... should they drop the charges?

How is it so different for these people than Madonna or Brad&Angelina?

Except, of course, these people don't have enough money to fly to another country and grab a kid.

i was reading this down here, and found this quote:

The couple, who Lopez met through friends, went to an attorney about adopting the boy, but Jose Lerma thought adoption paperwork would take too long, the affidavit states.

so should there be a DIY form for this, much like a living will?

normally, i'd be pretty libertarian on this, but this gives me pause:

Lopez’s boyfriend was being treated, reportedly for a drug overdose, at St. Mary Corwin Hospital on Monday morning, when his family told either hospital officials or police about alleged sale of the baby, the affidavit states.

the baby's bio-father is a drug addict? And the mom is selfish?

Seems like it'd be good for the kid to go somewhere wanted.

As for DIY paperwork... yeah, why is it so hard to adopt?

Perhaps it was a really, really nice car. Didn't ANYONE even think of this? Geez.
