what's the deal with this assclown?
Man tried to sell baby for home improvements, police say

APPLETON, Wisconsin (AP) -- A man raising his 18-month-old daughter alone tried to sell the little girl for $7,000 so he could make improvements to his house, police said Friday.
The man from Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, tried to sell his daughter to a Grand Chute couple, who helped authorities in the investigation, Grand Chute police Chief Ed Kopp said.
"He was having difficulties raising the child alone and wanted to use the money for some home remodeling," Kopp said.
Danny Vu, 37, was charged Friday with unauthorized adoption placement, a felony that carries up to six years in prison. The daughter showed no signs of physical abuse, Kopp said. Brown County officials will probably place her in temporary foster care. The man wanted to sell the girl "and didn't want anything to do with the baby after that," Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider said.

1. I'm not sure that "assclown" is the correct terminology.
There is a family problem. The government needs to step in and find a good solution for all involved. Apparently, that has happened. There may be mental problems. Two parents are not coping and the child is powerless. Go easy on the characterization and rush to judgment, okay? :)
