Staten Island Man Tried To Sell Baby On Craigslist



NY1News


A Staten Island man was arrested Monday after being accused of trying to sell a 2-month-old baby on Craigslist.

Law enforcement sources say Paul Marquez, 23, told police he posted an advertisement with pictures of the child, looking to sell her for $100.

The Staten Island district attorney's office says that Marquez gave the child's mother's phone number to at least one person who responded to the ad, and the person then tried to buy the child from the mother.

Law enforcement sources say Marquez did it because he grew angry the child's mother stopped paying attention to him.
