Mum Tries To Trade Son For Petrol

Yep, times are tough. Money for basic neccessities can be hard to come by. But trading you child for a tank of petrol? Umm – that leaves us a tad speechless.
According to a US newstation, a 37-year-old mum named Marcy Pappalardo has been accused of trying to sell her 6-year-old son to a tow truck driver in return for petrol for her car.
After the tow truck driver opted not to take her up on her offer, he called the emergency numbers, reporting the incident. The cops then arrested Pappalardo after she got in a car and accepted a ride with another driver. The driver told police that Pappalardo said that the tow truck driver had actually wanted sex with Pappalardo in return for the help, and had concocted the tale of her trying to sell her child to cover it up.
Oh dear. So it’s another Judge Judy kind of he said/she said case.
The mum has been charged with child neglect but police are still working on the case to see what really went down.
