Oklahoma Mum 'Tried To Sell Kids On Facebook'
A young mum has been accused of trying to sell her children on Facebook to bail her boyfriend out of jail.
Police in Sallisaw, Oklahoma said Misty VanHorn contacted a potential buyer via the social networking site.
They said the 22-year-old mother was looking to get $1,000 (£670) for her two-year-old, or $4,000 (£2,680) for the toddler and her 10-month-old baby.
"Just come to Sallisaw, it's only 30 minutes away and I'll give you all of her stuff and let y'all have her forever for $1,000," she allegedly wrote via Facebook.
The unidentified female buyer from Fort Smith, just over the state border in neighbouring Arkansas, notified the authorities last week.
Police moved in to arrest her soon after.
Neighbours said VanHorn had been going door to door trying to raise the $1,000 bond money to free her partner for days.
She is now being held in the Sequoyah County Jail on $40,000 (£26,800) bail.
The state has taken custody of the children.

Absolutely revolting - mind you these thickos simply view children as disposable assets - and that's the beauty of capitalism for you folks.

Clearly, she regards her daughter as being worth $1,000. She couldn't even value her more than that. Then how might those children end up being cared for by anyone else?

Should be a breeding license

She doesn't deserve to have her kids, letting them mix with her trashy boyfriend would never be good. Get the kids out the trailer park.

What an idiot - everyone knows storage wars is where the moneys at. But seriously, some people really don't grasp the concept of parenthood - and you know she'll stay with this guy once he's released and she's played the poor weepy victim act out.
