Seminole mother tried to sell 5-year-old son for $2,000, Pinellas deputies say - St. Petersburg Times
Pinellas County sheriff's deputies arrested a Seminole woman Saturday after they believed she was trying to sell her 5-year-old boy for $2,000.
Deputies said they received a tip about the case from James Gardner, 58, of Tampa. Gardner and his wife met the mother, Jessica Marie Beers, 28, through their church and had been helping her financially.
Gardner and his wife also began helping Beers take care of the boy. Over time, they noticed Beers had a prescription drug addiction, deputies said, and she was leaving the boy with them more frequently.
One day last week, Beers offered to sell Gardner and his wife parental rights, deputies said. The couple feared Beers wanted to feed her drug habit, deputies said.
