Parents are supposed to do absolutely anything to protect their baby and keep them out of harm’s way. That’s why one Tennessee woman was horrified when she realized what one couple was trying to do with their own child…
Last week, Pamela Wise was browsing the ‘for sale’ section on Craigslist, hoping to find some supplies that would help fix up a vintage camper that had been sitting in her yard. However, as she scrolled through the ads, one ad for an adoption caught her eye.
“I thought, well I’ll just look and see what it is,” Wise said. The ad was from a woman nearby, so Wise reached out to try and find out more. “She said, I have a five-month-old, I said boy or girl, she said it’s a little boy, five months old, and you can adopt him, you can have him, I’ll sell him to you,” Wise said.
Wise soon realized that the woman was really trying to sell the baby for profit, so she immediately contacted the Elizabethton Police Department. “She said what problem do you have, and I said there is a lady trying to sell me her baby on Craigslist. Next thing I knew a detective and lady from the Carter County Department of Human Services was there,” Wise said.
The police then took Wise’s phone and began negotiating with the mother on a price and settled on a time and place to meet. “They talked and negotiated a price, and they were wanting to sell their five-month-old baby for $3,000,” said Greene County Sheriff Pat Hankins.
“We were anticipating more of a scam or someone that was fixing to rob someone. Once you walked up there and really looked in that baby carriage, and saw that little child, that’s when it gave you the sick feeling of what was going on,” Hankins said. John Cain and Deanna Greer were arrested and now face felony charges, and their baby is now safe in protective custody.
“I just think the Lord put me in the right place at the right time to save his little life,” Wise said. “That little baby had a little angel watching over him, and that angel will always be with him.”
