NP Rank:
Vancouver Craigslist Baby Ad Couple Charged in Winnipeg Frauds
Barry Artiste Op/Ed
Of course we all remember this couple who made National Media attention trying to sell their Baby on Craigslist. This also was not the first time this couple have been known to police. Yet, the Incompetent and Useless British Columbia Judicial system saw fit not to charge them.
Regardless that they claimed it was a sick joke, so is the BC Justice System sworn to protect the innocent, proves how utterly useless the court system is. Now we find them relocated to mid Canada where they are back plying their trade of criminality! Will they be charged? Will they get Jail time?
MMM lets see,....... Manitoba is run by a Lefty Government, so it will be interesting to see the outcome. Too bad they did not try this in Alberta or Quebec, cause sure as hell they would not see daylight for a few years.

A Vancouver couple, who posted their baby in an online ad last year, have been charged for their alleged part in a credit card ring. Winnipeg police say the pair were allegedly embroiled in a group of scammers who used stolen and forged credit cards to rack up about $80,000 in charges.
In total, seven people have been charged for a June 8 to July 16 spending spree, purchasing electronics, jewelery, limousine rides and airline tickets. Of those arrested are Vancouver’s Jeremy Pete, 27, and Bethany Granholm, 25.
The pair made national headlines last year after Pete listed their week-old baby girl on Craigslist for $10,000.
No charges were ever laid because the two claimed it was a “sick joke.”

They might just get their just reward in Manitoba. The NDP Gov there is pretty conservative.

Thanks Sara, I am quite adept at photoshop, so I can pretty much do any kind of artwork, even bordering on bizarre

Surely, at this point, that baby should be removed from this couple's tender care.

That is why people should use angie's list instead it appears to be a lot safer with more serious content than craigslist so check it out people. Check below for a very informative article about angie’s list

Angies list in my opinion has always been the one to use over craigslist, it has a lot less spam and a lot more serious offers so people should look into it more, I would also recommend you read the following helpful article wrote by a user.factoidz.com/angies-list-better-alternative-to-craigslist-for-finding-local-contractors/
