Chime in now!

A very strange story coming from Kentucky.

Police in Laurel County are investigating after a mother who allegedly traded her six-month-old baby for a 1999 Dodge Dakota truck.

Police say the deal was made back in January, but deputies got a tip and and as of Thursday arrested Jeremy and Jaimee Brown, received the baby from Heather Kaminsky.

Investigators say Kaminsky later sold the truck they for a measley sum of $800.

All parties involved could face human trafficking charges and possibly up to 20 years in jail.

Investigators say the boy is with social services and doesn't show any signs of abuse.

We're asking our facebook fans this morning what consequences should come about from this incident.

What's the craziest trade you have ever made?
