NEW ORLEANS - A Louisiana woman is accused of trading two young children in her care for a pet cockatoo and $175 cash from a couple who had been trying for years to have their own child, authorities said Thursday.
Donna Greenwell, 53, a long-haul trucker with an arrest record from Pitkin, is charged with aggravated kidnapping, along with would-be adoptive parents Paul J. Romero, 46, and Brandy Lynn Romero, 27, of Evangeline Parish.

:Oh crap:Oh crap

Disgusting. Should have asked for at least $500

Damn straight. We're in a recession. :2 cents:

hahaha:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

what makes you think that is a new thing? that type of shit has been happening since the beginning of time

wow thats fucked

Too damn fucked up.poor kids

Crazy woman.

You hear about these things all the damn time these days, people cant adopt so they go to a crack whore foster parent trying to take advantage of the system and offers them cash..... so sad!

sounds like the kids are going to better care to the couple that wants kids

Yet another case of big government getting in the way of the free market. vote ron paul 08

I wonder why she wanted the pet cockatoo?

good point, the kids are going to a more capable family unit, the cockatoo on the other hand is going to a crackhead that won't be able to care for it, hopefully the spca got involved

Poor kids? Look where they're coming from.... parents who don't give a flying fuck about selling their asses out to the lowest bidder. Might of been an improvement going to another family...

I dunno, just sayin.

People will do ANYTHING to get what they want.

Amazingly sad, and something that will hurt those kids for years to come.

Imagine what great parents those people would have made.

Damn it...that is totally insane...

:1orglaugh and a bigger parrot

Seems the kids would be better off away from her anyway...

She wasn't even the kids parent! They should let the couple that wanted them foster them, they will probably take better care of them.
