American Grandma Sells White Baby Grandchild: Mary Bale Might Laugh
PATTY Bigbee tried to sell her grandson. The boy is 12 weeks old. He is being offered for sale in his entirety and not in parts. The asking price was, allegedly, $75,000. But after negotiations, the deal is struck for $30,000. (Dragons’ Den smoothy James Caan will take 40.)
The story of a woman selling a white baby is big news when the woman is a white grandmother and the child is an American. When the child is brown and from Asia, Africa or Eastern Europe, it’s a small footnote, at best.
But Patty Bigbee is not Mary Bale. It’s not as if the child is a cat. No Facebook campaign. No death threats. Just a story about woman who might have wanted to give a child a better life and if she could enrich herself, so be it…
