Police ultimately tracked down a “contract” signed by both the runaway parents and one would-be buyer, who was identified by authorities as Cody Martin.

It read: “I Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers are signing our rights over to Cody Nathaniel Martin of our baby boy for $1,000 on 09/21/2024.

“Disclaimer: Alter signing this there will be no changing yall two’s minds and to never contact again.”

Literally a trailer park boys episode. I can picture what kind of campground this is.

It said they hadn’t even given them the money yet. I’m really hoping they only did it to remove the child from the awful parents, and were planning on going to the authorities in the morning. The man with the plan was heavily intoxicated

That seemed to be the idea. Basically, that baby was saved by a drunk with a heart of gold.

Sounds like they just didn’t want the baby. I wonder if this couple even knew that Arkansas has a Safe haven/ Safe surrender thing they could’ve done?
