The couples Ashley Harmon and Jonathan Flint were arrested and charged with child neglect for trying to sell Harmon's 3 month-old baby girl in West Virginia.
Their asking price was
around $500 - $1000 when they went to one of their neighbours Carolyn Redden who declined but took the baby in.
She spoke to Eyewitness News criticizing the couples attempt due to hardship further stating the condition of the 3 month-old baby girl when she took her in;
"Why have a child if you're not going to care for it?" Redden said. "Just because it is hard doesn't mean you give up on a child."
"I ran out and got diapers and more bottles for her," Redden said. "She was shaking, clinching her fists, crying and screaming."
She later called 911 and gave names and descriptions of the couples to the Fayette County Detectives who tracked down and arrested the couples.
Fayette County deputies said Ashley Harmon has two other children she has left in another part of the state. They also said the baby's biological father had nothing to do with this. He did not know where the mother had taken the child. The baby is currently with Child Protective Services. They will decide if the biological father will get custody.
