KWWL’s article: Police investigate facebook post offering 4 year old for adoption

Police were called to the home of a Dubuque, Iowa family after a member posted on Facebook, “Does anyone know a family who would like to adopt a 4 year old girl?” 

A family in Dubuque, Iowa was reportedly investigated by police recently after a member of the clan, whose name has been withheld in the local news story, wrote a post on Facebook that offered up their 4-year-old for adoption.

“I need some help,” began her note, posted over the weekend to the private, 4,000-member DBQ Mamas group in Dubuque and re-published Monday.

“Does anyone know a family who would like to adopt a 4 year old girl. My parents adopted her but got new jobs and they have no time for her. I have 3 kids of my own and can not handle another. Serious inquiries only.“

Dubuque Police Lt. Scott Baxter said his department got “several calls” about the post and dispatched an officer to investigate.

“We determined no criminal act had been committed and there was not sufficient probable cause to warrant an arrest or charge,” Baxter said. “The welfare of the 4-year-old was checked and determined satisfactory. To my knowledge, the 4-year-old remained with the adopted parents referenced by the person who made the post.”

Baxter adds that the police department notified the Department of Human Services about the post on Facebook. “Obviously the post was not well thought out, as so many aren’t on social media,” he says.

In a later post (removed by DBQ Mamas administrators, as was the original note, after law enforcement got involved), the woman appeared to backpedal on her intent to re-home the preschooler via social media.

“Let me rephrase,” she wrote,“I’m not selling a kid, it was to help find adoption ideas. So calling the police to receive suggestions was ridiculous. She’s safe and fine. So thank you for your help.”

But upset about the incident has yet to die down.

Hundreds of commenters forwarded and posted notes in response to KWWL’s article about the incident on Facebook, where remarks ran from outrage to pity, for everyone involved.

“Children are not objects you get then discard when you just don’t have the time,” fumed one commenter.

“YOU BE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT AND MAKE TIME.” Another commenter joined others urging critics to reserve their judgment. “While it’s extremely sad that someone is giving up a child maybe they are trying to give the child a better life, maybe that’s the absolute best thing that they can do.”

It’s not clear in this case whether or not re-homing, the process of moving an adopted child to another home, was at play. And it is something that’s “not common, thank goodness,” Adam Pertman, President of the National Center on Adoption and Permanency said.

“But it does happen, and it usually happens because a parent doesn’t know what else to do. It’s not jettisoning a kid because they didn’t do their homework. It’s that something awful is happening and the parents don’t know where to turn. Typically it’s after they’ve tried everything and just want to help the child get parented properly.”

Police arrest ex-boyfriend of a 22 year old mom found stabbed to death in bronx park

Relatives of Jasmine Gonzalez, 22, who was stabbed multiple times in her torso, gathered in Bronx River Park on Sunday.

Jasmine Gonzalez, a 22 year-old mother from the Bronx was found stabbed to death in a park July 5, early Sunday morning. Her ex-boyfriend, Khiry Borden, 25 is being charged with murder, manslaughter, and weapons possession after he called the police claiming he stumbled upon the corpse while walking her families dog.

VIA NY DAILY NEWS:

“Borden was taken into custody after police found his book bag, containing bloody clothes, in the Gonzalez family home just seven blocks from the park, relatives said.

He came back here while everybody was sleeping. He changed his clothes to a new set of clothes he had in his bag,” Gonzalez’s sister, Jayselle, told the Daily News.

The sister said police found Borden’s book bag behind a curtain in the living room of the family’s E. 225th St. house. Inside it were a pair of bloodstained jeans and a towel, along with an empty package for kitchen knives, Jayselle Gonzalez said.After hiding the bag, the ex-beau woke up the victim’s mother, the grieving sister said.

“He asked my mom for the dog chain. So my mom gave it to him,” she said. “So, I guess when he took the dog down there (to the park), he made it seem like he was walking the dog and found his baby’s mom dead.”

Police said Jasmine Gonzalez, whose body was found in the park near E. 226th St. and Bronx Blvd., was stabbed multiple times in her midsection. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Gonzalez’s inconsolable family rushed to the park from their house when they learned what happened …”
