Just when you think the depths of stupidity and amorality cannot be plumbed any further, something like this comes along.

GRAND CHUTE, Wis. — A man was jailed after police accused him of trying to sell his 18-month-old daughter. The couple solicited to buy the baby helped lead police to the 37-year-old Green Bay man, who hoped to pocket $6,000 to $8,000, officials said Thursday.

The man, who was not identified, was arrested Wednesday night following a three-day investigation, said Grand Chute Police Officer Aaron Schellinger.

District Attorney Carrie Schneider said the man likely would face charges of child neglect and unauthorized placement for adoption.

The man remained jailed Thursday.

The child was taken into custody by the county Department of Human Services. (Source: SeattlePI.com.)
