Roane County Parents Attempt To Sell Child
{Spencer, West Virginia}...WV State Police in Spencer, in Roane County, arrested 20 year old Tyler Toler and his wife, 19 year old Katelyn Toler, Wednesday after they allegedly tried to sell their parental rights of their 2 year old son for $2,500. Police say Toler and his wife met with the little boy's maternal grandmother in the Roane County Courthouse square, not knowing the grandmother was working with police. As soon as Tyler Toler got the cash and agreed to give the grandmother the boy, he and his wife were arrested. Police say Toler told them he wasn't fit to be a dad and didn't know making money off of his son was illegal. The Tolers are each charged with the prohibited sale of a child and conspiracy to commit a felony.
