A Texas woman has been charged after she allegedly tried to sell her newborn to the “highest bidder” on Facebook.
Juniper Bryson, 21, was searching for someone to adopt her newborn child, who would test positive for drugs, in exchange for money or a car on September 22, when she made her Facebook post.
“She needs someone there during labor and to take the baby boy home. She doesn’t want him going into foster care,” a family member said.
Bryson told the family member that she needed money “to move into an apartment so I can work a job…or a cheap down payment on any car to get to different places to door dash.”
Wendy Williams showed up at the hospital while Bryson gave birth on Sept. 24. She later notified Child Protective Services upon learning that Bryson wanted to sell her baby and was “waiting for the highest bidder.”
The baby, who tested positive for drugs, was placed in the care of Bryson’s acquaintance after she gave up custody.
