The incident involving the alleged illegal sale of a child began with a tip from a person claiming to know the Miami-Dade resident. Would a mom sell baby? $7,000 was the asking price
Citing a story from the Huffington Post, a man who knew the woman called the MCSO and said he was approached by her in an attempt to sell the child for a sum of money.
Police then contacted the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (or FDLE) and partnered with the agency in an investigation of Kenia Quiala Bosque, 30. Accordingly, an undercover sting operation was planned when police believed the mom tried to sell the baby for $7,000.
Reportedly, the unnamed tipster was told by Bosque that she "trusted him not to hurt her child." Apparently, the woman was experiencing financial stress, and the sale of her child was one way to address her situation.
However, the desperate woman did not show up at the site of the sting operation, where she would unknowingly meet an undercover agent with the FDLE. Nonetheless, authorities had enough information to charge the woman. Accordingly, she was arrested without incident at her home in Monroe County.
Illegal adoption and sale of a child foiled by a good police investigation
"We are just so glad we were able to obtain this information in time to intervene before anything could happen to endanger this child,” ~ Monroe County Sheriff Bob Peryam.Bosque's only charges at this time are for an adoption violation. Her other children have been placed in the care of trusting relatives.
When a mom tries to sell a baby for $7,000, it makes headlines. While the act itself is illegal and egregious, is there more to the story? What makes a person sell a baby like a commodity on the open market? Sadly, there are more Kenia Quiala Bosque's out there facing the same dilemma.
