Woman accused of attempting to buy baby for her 14-year-old daughter

Whilst many mothers would do anything for their child, for one woman from north Forsyth, Georgia, that supposedly meant trying to buy a baby for her 14-year-old daughter on Craigslist.

Elaine Williams, 47, was arrested on Friday in connection with an advertisement posted on the online marketplace that asked mothers to drop their unwanted babies off in a baby box, according to Deputy Epifanio Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.



She was charged with domestic-unlawful advertisement/inducement for adoption of children and remains detained in the Forsyth County Jail on a $5,610 bond. Detectives received a tip from a citizen about the suspicious ad on Craigslist out of Cumming.

In the ad, Williams is accused of promising mothers they could drop their baby in a “baby box.” Williams reportedly stated to detectives that her daughter “wanted a baby and would get one with or without her help, so she decided to help.” Her 14-year-old daughter, who lives with her mother, faces juvenile charges.
