Couple attempts to sell their 6 month old baby at Walmarts on Thursday, June 24, 2010

You can find a lot of deals at Walmarts, but who would of thought that outside of Walmart's in the parking lot, outside of garden supplies that you would find a baby for sale in California's Walmart's?
This combination photo provided by the Salinas Police Department,  shows Patrick <span class= Fousek, right, and Samantha Tomasini. Fousek and and 20-year-old Samantha Tomasini face child endangerment charges after police say they tried to sell their 6-month-old baby for $25 outside a Walmart store.

38 year old Patrick Fousek and 20 year old Samantha Tomasini, approached women out side of Walmart's in the parking lot and asked if they would like to buy the baby for $25.00 the women though that perhaps that Fousek was joking, but the man continued to ask the women if they would buy the baby.
I am glad and relieved to know that they approached these women or the end results could be different. These women contacted the police . Police arrested Fousek and Tomasini at their home, the police stated that the couple was high on methamphetamine.

Police reported also claimed that Tomasini told Child Protective Services, who took the baby, that she had breast-fed the infant while under the influence, Villegas said. The baby has been take from the mother and placed in the care of the State of California. The couple is being held on child endangerment charges.
Drug abuse has been around for a long time, and there are movies and stories that the media feeds to let you know that mother's use their children in exchange for their poison (drug) of choice. What is going on in this world when children, babies are being sold, stolen and used for slavery and body parts? How much is a life of a child today? One would think that it is more than $25.00. What kind of world have we come to when banks and animal rights are more then the lives of children? We hear arguments and see protesters when it comes to aborting babies, but where is the outcry when these babies and children are being sold? Where is the love for them then? Where is the outcry when these babies and children are sent off to foster care and they do not always get into a good foster care home and the abuse is worse then when they are with their parents. Why is their an outcry over an animal being abuse, but not children?
What is being done, to get a mother or anyone else that is in a child's life, to get help to get off of drugs? What is being done now to find out why they are on it to begin with? There are so many laws that are on the books, carried out in the world, what happened to the law of love thy neighbor? Where is the law, that when a parent cannot take proper care of a child, the family steps in without the laws of the land to care for that child without government being involved? As people who live on this planet, what is happening with us, are we to busy being entertained that we cannot now discern cries for help right in front of our faces, do we view them as a movie? Then we have to always ask, where are the drugs coming from, are the ones that are called to serve, serving the drugs to the communities? The trivial question is why did this couple think that going to Walmart's with their low prices and always finding away to be a part of the entertainment on the news was a good place to sell a 6 month old baby? Not that Walmart's is at fault in this case. As with all things did the media hype.

The arrest had nothing to with the joke that was made and then turned into a wolf cry by the two tore back teenage girls, not women, they were two ignorant drama seeking teeny boppers, who look like they did drugs themselves, the cops came & asked us about the incident at our home, checked on our child and all was fine, a few hours later, due to our chicken shit neighbors who are known to have called the police on us and make false reports because they didn't have enough guts to come and tell us themselves that we were being a little bit too loud or whatever, the police came and apparently against my better judgment I answered the door and welcomed them in to show them everything was fine, but to them it wasn't, they started harassing us, and threatening us, our daughter was walking around in her walker smiling and playing & they claimed that we were actively high on meth & called cps & tore my world apart. How can my home become a filthy pig sty & unfit for my daughter within 2hrs of their 1st visit? We were arrested for being under the influence and charged with child endangerment due to the "conditions of our home" we had unwashed dishes & our belongings packed in boxes & our kitchen table cluttered with paperwork since we were in the process of moving, how can it be that all was fine a few hours earlier? They question my boyfriend about the allegations made by these little dimwits, and it was dismissed and they were on their way. All was fine, now they come back & pin all this crap on us and it leaked into the media spotlight & what we were truly arrested for was blown into what it absolutely wasn't!! This is the 1st time I have made a statement. Here it is. Here is the real truth, the real story, our side. Now that the spotlight has diminished, I feel that I can speak my peace. True friends and family knew from the start this was all bullshit, this is for all you sheep who are so blind & lost that you couldn't think for yourself and believed the media & all its hundreds of versions of our failure. Yes we made mistakes, we needed help & still do, we aren't perfect, but our daughter is our world. Shes all I had, I feel like I was faced to fight an already lost battle, against the system & cps. Negative false attention on us & our criminal case hasn't helped us get the help we needed or the fair judgment & support we deserved. This is truly an unjust world.

Anonymous,

I would like to thank you as the mother of this post was written about for your side of the story. As a mother and a Grandmother, my heart goes out for all children and their caregivers and yes the media does not always tell the truth, and I was striving to make a point from a mother's view on how this was terrible and yes, you and the father needed drug help and that your child should of been placed with family. Yes, we do have an injustice system and that is the reason why we must continue to make the treatment of people here known and strive to change it.

I hope and pray that you have and will receive all the help that you need and that your daughter will be returned to your arms soon.
