My Child for a Wedding Dress!

A woman in Iowa wanted a wedding dress so badly that she offered up her son as collateral. Her 4 year old son! And this is a relatively young woman - 31 years old. The woman might end up spending 10 years in prison for this. All I can think is...her poor kid. To have a mother like that...and I wanna know where the heck the father is in all this. Did he run out? Is he dead? Is he still around and just as shocked as everyone else? I'll have to look more into this story later.

I personally don't think the woman should have to spend up to 10 years in jail. Jail won't help her. She needs to go to a mental hospital or something...see a doctor and get diagnosed, first off. The article I read didn't mention anything in particular, and considering how shocked her friends and neighbors are, I'm assuming no one knew anything was wrong with her. What kind of mental disorder could make someone offer up their child as collateral? Wait a minute...she wanted it for a WEDDING DRESS! Does this mean she was engaged? Who would want to marry that kind of woman?

yea i agree that lady is crazy....

I agree that what she did was wrong because how could she do this to her son? Doesn't she love her son?

Wow! It certainly sounds like she is mentally disturbed ... I agree that she needs to get some professional help ... what kind of mother wants to trade her son for a wedding dress???

human is an insubstanstiable being, not satisfy with anything had. I love your case. it's real, ladies for that matter she would do anything for a cause. It doesnot mean she does not love the son but it is a behavioural of Man. mmm! She still all the same needs a professional.

I've heard of stories like this, but the last one was some years ago. They all need help those who think they can trade or use human beings for objects.

The best way to a man's heart is really through his stomach, that way you don't have to deal with that pesky rib cage!

I just don't know whats wrong with this woman. I think she could be charged on multiple accounts abuse, neglect. you name it
