ENID, Okla. (AP (http://www.morningsun.net/stories/033102/usw_0331020031.shtml)) -- Garfield County prosecutors allege an Arkansas resident tried to exchange her baby girl for a Chihuahua puppy.
Kathryn A. Smith was charged Friday in Garfield County District Court with a felony count of trafficking in children. Smith, 21, was released on her own recognizance after surrendering to authorities.
According to court documents, Smith allegedly offered to give her mother's neighbor custody of her 7-month-old daughter if the woman would give her a Chihuahua puppy the woman was selling for $200.
Smith later upped the price for the infant to $2,000, authorities allege. The other woman told Enid police she agreed to a trade just to get the girl away from Smith, whom she believed was neglecting the child, an affidavit stated.
Smith's mother later told the neighbor that Smith tried to sell the child again after moving to Arkansas, the affidavit stated.
She is scheduled to return to court May 8 for a bond appearance.
There are some sick people in this world. I can't stand Chihuahuas, but I wouldn't trust that woman with one, either. i hope they take that child away from her and never give it back.
