NEW ORLEANS–A Louisiana woman is accused of trading two young children in her care for a pet cockatoo and $175 in cash.
Donna Greenwell, 53, is charged with aggravated kidnapping. Also charged are Paul Romero, 46, and Brandy Lynn Romero, 27.
Greenwell allegedly called the Romeros about a cockatoo they were selling for $1,500. After hearing the Romeros were unable to have a child, she allegedly offered the five-year-old boy and four-year-old girl for money. The Romeros couldn't afford it, so she agreed to trade the kids for the bird, plus $175.
But she had no authority to put the children up for adoption. She's not their mother.

Whose children are they? The biological parents better be ashamed if they gave their children to this lady.

Pssh...just one kidney is worth in the 20k+. Kids are far more valuable...another proof than most Americans suck at finances.

But $175 RIGHT NOW would probably get you enough crack for at least a couple of days.

Are black women known for their uncontrollable love of cockatoos? I never knew this.

This is a crazy story. I wanna hear some comments from the lady that attempted to sell the children and the parents of the children. Hell, I wanna hear what the couple who tried to trade a bird and $175 has to say for themselves! Being this stupid should be illegal but honestly it sounds like drugs are involved.

What an idiot, she could have claimed those kids as dependents on her taxes and probably walked away with enough money for the cockatoo.

Well if she's the primary guardian and houses them and feeds them, then she can claim them. But otherwise no, she can't claim them.

ANyone know if the bird could talk? This might make up for the low cash value.

It says in the article that she's not their mom and did not have the authority to put them up for adoption, so I'm guessing she has no legal rights as far as they're concerned.
