Disturbing story coming out of Kentucky: A couple named Zachary Davis and Jacquilyn Keith, were recently arrested for allegedly attempting to sell their newborn twins. The Jackson County authorities were alerted to the situation by Davis’ sister-in-law, who claimed that the couple had agreed to sell their twin girls to her for $5,000.
Screenshots and a recorded conversation provided by the sister-in-law supported her claims, leading to the arrest of Davis and Keith. Upon questioning, the couple admitted to agreeing to the sale but maintained that it was meant as a joke and they had no intention of actually going through with it…
Despite their explanation, Davis and Keith were charged with human trafficking and taken into custody at the Jackson County Detention Center.

Of course the case has sparked outrage and disbelief in the community, raising questions about the boundaries of humor and the seriousness of such actions. However, these incidents have become far too common in recent times.
As we previously reported, a Florida mother, Jessica Woods, also made headlines for allegedly attempting to sell her 18-month-old daughter for $500 outside an H&R Block location in Palatka, Florida.
The incident happened earlier this month when a concerned bank employee noticed Woods loitering with her child outside the bank. When approached by the bank employee offering assistance, Woods allegedly demanded money. Refusing to provide cash, the employee offered to buy essential items for Woods and her daughter.
This offer angered Woods, leading her to throw her child in frustration. At some point, when an employee intervened to rescue the child who was seen wandering away from the mother, Woods shockingly offered to sell her daughter for $500. Upon the citizen’s refusal, Woods abandoned her child and walked away.
Jessica Woods was eventually arrested on March 7 and charged with six felonies, including child abuse, child neglect, and abandonment of a child.
The child is now in the care of a foster home.
