A recent incident at a Walmart in Crockett, Texas has left the community in disbelief. Rebecca Lanette Taylor, a 49-year-old woman, approached a mother with her child and made an unthinkable offer – she wanted to buy the baby. This audacious attempt to purchase a human being has shocked both locals and the nation.
Taylor’s interest in the baby stemmed from her admiration for the child’s blonde hair and blue eyes. She initially approached the mother with a cash offer, but the mother brushed it off as a joke. However, Taylor was serious and even had a staggering amount of $250,000 in her car as payment.
Despite the mother’s attempts to make Taylor back off, she persisted in her pursuit. After the mother and her children left the store, Taylor continued to harass them from the parking lot, offering an exorbitant $500,000 for the child. Frightened and alarmed, the mother decided to involve the authorities.
Taylor was subsequently arrested on January 18, 2022, and charged with the sale or purchase of a child, a third-degree felony in Texas. If convicted, she faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of $10,000. While Taylor posted a $50,000 bond and was released from custody, the incident has raised concerns about her intentions and possible previous attempts to buy babies from their parents.
It is fortunate that the mother was able to escape this disturbing situation and report it to the police. Authorities are now investigating other claims of attempted baby purchases involving Taylor.
