Someone in Florida posted a Craigslist ad purporting to sell a newborn baby for $500, leaving investigators scrambling to determine if the ad was just a hoax.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement opened an investigation Friday into the online ad, which claimed the baby is a well-behaved 2-week-old who sleeps quietly through the night.

The person who posted the ad said they didn’t want to be judged for “not wanting these kids,” according to the Miami Herald.

The ad said the alleged baby-seller would provide clothes, formula and even offered to give away the baby’s 4-year-old sister free of charge.

The family, the poster alleged, is from a “quiet influential neighborhood.” The seller claimed to work for the Florida Department of Children and Families.
