Grandson for sale

A woman and her boyfriend have been charged with trying to sell her infant grandson for $30,000
(Rs 13.7 lakh).

Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents arrested 45-year-old Patty Bigbee and 42-year-old Lawrence Works in Daytona Beach after they met with an agent posing as a buyer.

Both were charged with illegal sale or surrender of a child, and Bigbee was also charged with communication fraud.

FDLE agent Wayne Ivey said an investigation began last month after an informant told authorities the woman was trying to sell the baby.

The child's mother is currently incarcerated on unrelated charges. The infant has been turned over to child welfare officials. Authorities said they didn't know if Bigbee or Works had an attorney.
