Bosque was arrested at her home in Opa-Locka, near Miami, Florida and two other children found in the home were taken into care.

The situation was described as 'a sign of the times,' according to Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle to NBC on why the mother may have wanted to sell her child.
