Texas woman arrested for trying to buy another woman’s child at Walmart

You can buy almost anything at Walmart — except children. And a Texas woman knows this first hand. The woman offered $500,000 to a mother at a Walmart in exchange for her infant son. 49-year-old Rebecca Lanette Taylor was charged with the sale and purchase of a child. The child was with his mother on the self-checkout line. According to police records, Taylor “began commenting on the boy’s blonde hair and blue eyes. She asked how much she could purchase him for.” The mom tried to laugh this comment off, thinking Taylor was joking. Taylor told her that she had $250,000 in the car and she would pay that much for him. The mom told her no amount of money would do. Outside in the parking lot, Taylor confronted the mother, once again asking to buy her child. Police say “Taylor began screaming at (the mom), saying if she wouldn’t take $250,000 for him, then she would give her $500,000 because she wanted him and she was going to take him.”
