Police need to thoroughly check this man's story to make sure this child's mother actually left the country. Generally speaking mothers won't just up and leave an 18 month old baby like that, in spite of the many lies and propaganda put out by the media day and night acting like we do...
This baby's mother could have been murdered by this idiot. Actually this won't be the first time that a father has put out this lie saying his child's mother ran off or returned to her country of origin, when in fact, he murdered her...
I won't say it's common, but if you watch Court TV as I do, you know it happens often enough that you need to check these stories out carefully when a mother just up and disappears like that...
Children are worth money today as this story demonstrates, they are a valuable asset. So mothers, as their natural guardians, are always at risk to be swept aside when the unscrupulous look to profit from our kids...

Man tries to sell baby daughter, police say
Father wanted $7,000 for 18-month-old to fund home improvements
Updated: 12:15 a.m. ET April 22, 2006
APPLETON, Wis. - A man raising his 18-month-old daughter alone tried to sell the little girl for $7,000 so he could make improvements to his house, police said Friday.
The Ashwaubenon man tried to sell his daughter to a Grand Chute couple, who helped authorities in the investigation, Grand Chute police Chief Ed Kopp said.
“He was having difficulties raising the child alone and wanted to use the money for some home remodeling,” Kopp said.
Danny Vu, 37, was charged Friday with unauthorized adoption placement, a felony that carries up to six years in prison.
The daughter showed no signs of physical abuse, Kopp said. Brown County officials will probably place her in temporary foster care.
The man wanted to sell the girl “and didn’t want anything to do with the baby after that,” Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider said.
The man owns a nail salon in Green Bay. A salon employee told the man he knew a Grand Chute woman who was looking to adopt a baby, and the man and the Grand Chute woman were introduced, police said. A friend of the woman later called police.
Wanted deal off the books
Schneider said the couple wanted to contact attorneys and follow legal adoption procedures, but the man did not want to involve attorneys.
Police arrested the man after the Grand Chute woman called police to say he was on his way to their home with the girl Wednesday night, Kopp said.
“We obviously had some concern about the child and what condition she was in, so we made the decision to intercept him,” he said.
The girl’s mother left the area several months ago and is not in the country, Schneider said.
Vu was jailed in lieu of a $10,000 cash bond.
Defense attorney Eugene Bartman said Vu, who was born in Vietnam but is a U.S. citizen, has never been in trouble with police or in jail before.
Vu “understands what’s going on and thinks it’s very unfair,” Bartman said.
