Man accused of trying to sell baby for $25 in front of Walmart

[Parche]

SALINAS, Calif. – Jail officials in California say a father accused of trying to sell his baby for $25 outside a Walmart is recovering after other inmates beat him.

Thirty-eight-year-old Patrick Fousek and 20-year-old Samantha Tomasini, of Salinas, pleaded not guilty to child endangerment and drug charges Friday.

Fousek appeared in court with a bruised eye and stitches. Sheriff's Cmdr. Mike Richards said the man was attacked Thursday at the Monterey County Jail. He also suffered two cracked ribs and is now being held away from the general population.

Fousek is accused of approaching two women Wednesday and asking if they'd like to purchase his 6-month-old.

He and Tomasini were arrested a few hours later at their home, and Child Protective Services took the baby.

Police tracked the couple, who fled the parking lot before police arrived, to a house. There, they allegedly discovered the infant living in squalor and Fousek and Tomasini high on methamphetamine. Tomasini allegedly told Child Protective Services that she breast-fed the infant while under the influence, police said Thursday.

7. Jotting down for future reference: it's illegal to sell babies at California Walmarts

Unfortunately the article does not clarify whether it's illegal to sell options or futures or complex derivatives on babies

Have you ever seen a kid in a Walmart that wasn't screaming their head off? I haven't.
