Family Tried to Sell Snatched Baby

According to Yahoo news, A kidnapped newborn and three siblings were taken away from their mother following allegations that a family member tried to sell the baby, according to officials familiar with the case. This incident happens in Nashville, Tennessee.

Mom Maria Gurrolla was briefly reunited with newborn Yair Anthony Carillo over the weekend before state child welfare officials placed all four children in foster care. A custody hearing is set for Tuesday, but records are closed because the case is in juvenile court.

Two officials confirmed the baby-selling allegations but spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case. They could not say how or if the allegations were related to the kidnapping.

Week-old Yair was safely recovered in Alabama on Friday, three days after he was snatched from his Nashville home. His mother said he was taken after a woman posing as an immigration agent attacked her with a knife.

An Alabama woman is in custody, facing a federal kidnapping charge. State officials said only that they took Gurrolla's children after Yair was found because of safety concerns.
