Mother Tried to Sell Her Kids on Facebook for $4,000

Here's a quick parenting tip: It's not OK to offer to sell your children on Facebook, even if you really need the money

Misty VanHorn, a mother of two in Oklahoma, found that out the hard way over the weekend. VanHorn, 22, was arrested Saturday for alleged trafficking of minors on Facebook — offering her 10-month old and her 2 year-old for $4,000.

According to the police report, VanHorn offered the kids several times on the social network — offering the 10-month old girl for $1,000, or a package deal with the two of them for $4,000. And she had a taker.

VanHorn was dealing with a woman in Fort Smith, Ark., according to The Oklahoman. Which would mean she'll be lucky if she isn't charged with a federal crime: Fort Smith is just across the state line from VanHorn's home in Sallisaw, Ok.
