Mom attempts to sell her kid to a trucker for gas
Kids are more abundant than gas these days. By the law of supply and demand, gas is more valuable.
Mom of the year please?
According to Melbourne police a 37-year-old woman was arrested on a child-neglect charge Friday afternoon after a tow truck driver told police the mother offered to sell her child in exchange for gas money.
Pappalardo faces a charge of child neglect in connection with the report. Police are continuing their investigation.
Sgt. Michael Casey of Melbourne police said officers learned of a 9-1-1 call about 3 p.m. from a tow truck driver who said a woman had tried to sell him her 6-year-old boy in exchange for gas money at a gas station near U.S. 1 and Lake Washington Road.
The driver refused, Melbourne police said, and then followed the mother who was in a white sedan with her child and another woman as he called police.
“He rolled up his window and followed her. They drove all across north Melbourne,” Casey said.
The white sedan was pulled over in Suntree by police. Pappalardo was questioned and arrested. Her 6-year-old boy sat on the trunk of the car and cried as his mother was led away.
