An ad selling a seven-day-old baby girl was put on Craigslist by her father.
The offer to sell the "healthy and very cute" baby for $10,000 was seen by 62-year-old Marilyn Bateman who called police.
In August 2009, Jenni Brennan of Massachusetts found her child's photo on a London Craigslist ad for a phony adoption.
