1. I've always thought

Craigslist was a little seedy. The amount of spam and bogus listings, etc, is just a bit much.

2. The question is, is there a de facto law on the books regarding this?

I'm thinking about a Michigan case a few years back where a mother or father sold their kid for drugs, and the state was a bit stymied because there was no actual law that prohibited this action.

3. While there may or may not be a law

specifically prohibiting "selling one's child for drugs," i'm sure it'd fall under child endangerment, kids go to DFACS, etc...
