Woman uses baby for down payment on car
Filed under: Moms, Newborn, 3-6 months, Infant / First year
Here's a warning for all of us: use your baby as down payment, get arrested.
That's what happened to Nicole Uribe, a 23-year-old "mother" who traded her infant son in exchange for a Dodge Intrepid and some extra cash. The recipients of said baby, Jose-Juan Lerman and his wife Irene, have also been arrested -- all on suspicion of felony trafficking in children.
Police Sgt. Brett Wilson said she couldn't speculate on the motives for the exchange -- presumably because the car was a Dodge Intrepid, and not something a little nicer.
The baby is now in foster care (thank goodness).
