A
30-year-old woman recently arrested at a Palatka Winn-Dixie is accused
of trading her newborn son for a 1999 Dodge Dakota pickup in Kentucky.


Heather Ann Kaminsky then sold the truck for $800 and some
methamphetamines, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office announced Monday.


Putnam County Sheriff's Office Detective John Merchant and members of
the U.S. Marshals Service arrested Kaminsky at the Winn-Dixie on State
Road 19 in Palatka on July 18.

She was released from the Putnam County Jail on Thursday to face felony human-trafficking charges in Kentucky's Laurel County.

Kaminsky is accused of trading her son for the truck shortly after his birth in January.


Kaminsky, who previously lived Putnam County, had two other children
taken from her by the Florida Department of Children and Families, the
Sheriff's Office said.

The couple accused of trading their truck
for the baby, Jeremy and Jamiee Brown of Kentucky, also face
human-trafficking charges.

    Maybe the rat studies DID represent human behavior. John B Calhoun in describing the effects of rats in an overcrowded environment: "The mortality rate among females was extremely high. A large proportion of the population became bisexual, then increasingly homosexual, and finally asexual. There was a breakdown in maternal behavior. Mothers stopped caring for their young, stopped building a nest for them and even began to attack them, resulting in a 96 percent mortality rate in the two crowded pens."



    Calhoun coined a term—“behavioral sink”—to describe the decay. Heather Ann Kaminsky allegedly sank to definite low.

    That woman is a piece of work. If she didn't want her baby she should have given it to an adoption agency, where the would-be parents would be screened. But she gave it away to just anyone-for all we know they could abuse and maybe kill that child!!!

    If she did, sterilise her, ban her from ever working with children or adopting, make her take a rehab course, then depending if she's sorry or not, put her in a hell hole of a prison until she is.

    I guess I'm not surprised since the value of life has been so under-appreciated these days. But they sure wouldn't want me to be her judge.

    Yeah that's what I was thinking - I could probably trade a random thought for a '99 Dakota. Happened in Florida though, so at least she didn't eat the poor kid.

    How can anybody be so low, Casey Anthony excluded? This might end her welfare payments unless Obama steps in to help her (but only if she votes Democrat).

    Now THAT sounds interesting! I might have to check that one out. It would explain a lot in our culture today.

    I really didn't recall this experiment until the rash of infanticides. Homosexuality and bullying surged, ending in asexuality. Once the population was reduced to normal, all the tendencies remained the same. When I was in college, I scoffed at the notion that rats were a good analogy for humans. Now....

    I just read a bit on it now and the cannibalism part is pretty timely. Yikes.

    Yes I saw that too, how even when the population got back down to "heady early days", it didn't do any good. They had already crossed into the "sink".

    If true, then the best we can hope for is to be the preening "beautiful ones" I guess.

    That sounds familiar. Right now, I'm reading The October Horse. I made a note on my task list to get a copy of the study and reread it, I forgot so much. Too much water under the bridge and the photographic memory only contains faded photographs.

    Whoa - that looks long. I'm still trudging through Atlas Shrugged right now - it's slow going (for me anyways).

    I doubt you'd need to re-read the study though, just flip on the news - sounds like we're in a present day Universe 25.

    Atlas Shrugged? Great book. Ayn Rand gets a bit preachy and it slows down several times, but I like it even better than The Fountainhead. I only wish they had made the movie when Patricia Neal was young enough to play Dagney.

    The levels of depravity that drug addiction drags people down to knows no bounds. A very sad story, although it may be the best break that little baby could have gotten. God knows what this woman would have been capable of doing if she was out of drugs and had a little baby, crying, nearby.
