Miami-Dade Mother Arrested for Hiring Hitman to Kill 3-Year-Old Son

An 18-year-old mother from Miami-Dade County, Florida, was arrested for allegedly attempting to hire a hitman for $3,000 to kill her 3-year-old son. The mother visited a parody hit-for-hire website, which was actually designed to assist law enforcement, and provided the child's address, photo, and her phone number. The website operator immediately notified the police, who tracked down the mother and arrested her. She faces charges of solicitation of first-degree murder and unlawful use of a communications device. The child is currently staying with his grandmother, and a dependency hearing is expected to be held soon.
