The Scariest Craigslist Ad I've Seen

[satcook]

"my name is opal, i have attended 3 years in childcare works i am a honest person who cares for children. im trying to raise money to get a lawyer because the state took my baby. if anyone needs a babysitter call me at ****** . i am wiling to take what you can give for my services. call me please, i am 17 so i do attend school. my i can babysit mondays and fridays after 4:0PM, 0 saturdays and sundays when needed. i have classes on thursday and tuesday and wednesday but after 8:30PM, i am avalible too. "

Why would I let you take care of my child when the state has proven you unfit to care for your own child???

WHAT? this has to be a joke!!! yikes.

[littlemommy]

Wow! She has guts to post that. Wonder how many calls she gets. ::

[dave4him]

Wow shes honest at least

[misspollywog]

This HAS to be a fake ad.

I am tempted to call !

No Way! OMG! how scary. I am sure she won't get any takers, maybe

someone will call child protective services on her.

Seriously?!?! :confused: This just goes to show how people just really don't have common sense SMH. You're really going to try to take care of someones child and you think letting everyone know that you had YOUR child taken away is a great way to achieve this??? Oh man.

I called! Got a VM of what sounded like a younger women but it was really bad static. Needless to say I didn't leave a call back number tho! :: If it is legit hope nobody finds themselves so desperate with their kids to let her watch them!!!

[dave4him]

Tempting enough to report it

YOU DID NOT, REALLY?! ::. I'm sort of tempted to call just to give her advice and recommend that she not put her private business out like that. That is really NOT a good way to get a child care job. I do have to hand it to her though, she IS in school trying to better herself and she IS trying to find work to fight for her daughter back. Don't get me wrong though, I am still shaking my head :confused:.

You got VM because she is still in school. It's Friday.....so she won't be available until after 4.

Oh Duh!!! Silly me! ::::

Wow. This is really sad... Desperation can drive some to do things that don't make sense.

I'm just a little shocked at everyone's response. I expected more compassion.

When we were adopting our 2 daughters there were other people fighting "against" us. One very "vocal" family had their biological kids taken away from them too! They really thought they would be good parents?

[dave4him]

Least shes trying... who can say really unless you know her.
