Why steal a baby when you can adopt one ? I don't get it .

I love that we can learn life lessons from Raising Arizona. Which is a hilarious movie.

Well thanks I might watch it .

@TyphoidJerry: It says a lot about the mindset of many habitual criminal "losers." They have wonderful fantasies (the anti-hero in the movie calls them his "visions") but no sense of how to make their dreams into any sort of reality.

Wouldn't they have to sort out the child's paper work anyway . Birth certificate and so on .All the identification that wil b needed for schools , colleges , hospitals ect .Not to mention people around you will know you where not pregnant (unless you fake it for nine months) you would have to explain .It seems like such a hustle .

@Pureblossom: People who steal babies aren't the type to worry about paperwork.

There are children being bought, sold and traded in closed chat rooms, Craigslist ads and a multitude of other places. Even 20/20 and Dateline have done exposes on it. You'd be surprised how far people will go to get what they want.

Mhh really ? That's confusing . I guess they would have to move far away from the parents after and loose contact , but wouldn't that make them a suspect :which would lead to the police finding the baby ?

Well then why don't they steal children who need parents ? Instead of ones with loving parents who would be heartbroken at the lose of their child .

It takes someone who is off mentally to do that and they lack the reasoning skills to care about the damage they cause. :(

A rush worth taking care of a child for the next 18years?

@Pureblossom: they usually turn up dead cause of malnutrition or beating

OH.

I suppose .

Sarcastic ?
