In the Forsyth County case, authorities Elaine Williams, 47, posted an ad on Craigslist saying she would “provide a loving home for unwanted newborns,” and asked for a birth certificate and health record in an effort to get a baby for her 14-year-old daughter.
Forsyth County Sheriff Duane Piper said the ad attracted those who had a different proposition.
“People that contacted them wanted money for their babies,” said Piper.
While no one seems to know how many babies are sold on the black market, it’s an aspect to the human trafficking industry that continues to grow.
