Two-Year-Old Girl Offered For Sale Over Xbox Live
By Dr. Evelyn Reed | January 01, 0001 | 7 min read
Over the weekend, pranksters spammed Xbox Live users with a message [[link]] advertising the sale of 23 year-old Christa Manos’ baby girl. [[link]] The message included her phone number. Manos is not impressed.
She was soon fielding angry, abusive phone calls from parents across the United States, some berating her for being a terrible parent, others content just to call up and threaten her. Which is a little mean. I mean, the ad [[link]] was offering free shipping.
Manos – from Punta Gorda in Florida – has “a good idea who is responsible”, though local authorities are still conducting an investigation. If caught, the perpetrators could face criminal use of information charges.
