Woman arrested for trading kids for birds http://www.privateofficer.com
NEW ORLEANS LA Feb 28 2009 — A Louisiana woman stands accused of trading two young children in her care for a pet bird and $175 cash.
Authorities said she arranged the deal with a couple who had been trying for years to have their own child.
Donna Greenwell is in custody on charges of aggravated kidnapping.
Also charged are a man and woman identified as the would-be adoptive parents, Paul and Brandy Romero. A sheriff’s detective said they appeared to have “good intentions,” and that the kids were well treated by them.
Authorities said the transaction for the 5-year-old boy and the 4-year-old girl was negotiated by phone. They said Greenwell had contacted the couple after spotting a flier selling a cockatoo for $1,500.
It’s not known just what the relationship is between Greenwell and the children. The children’s father is being questioned, and authorities are looking for the mother.
