Man Puts Son up For Sale on Craigslist

SPOKANE, Wash. — Police are searching for a man accused of offering to sell his son on Craigslist for $5,000.

In the ad, the father identified himself as a single parent dad by the name of “Rick” who has run out of child care options.

“Gavin is a great kid but I can no longer afford to take care of him,” the ad said. “I don’t know what else to do other than find a good family with kids or a couple that wants a son. I just won’t give him to anyone.”
