Police in Portland are investigating an ad posted on the popular Web site Craigslist featuring a baby for sale for $1,000.

VIDEO: Ad On Craigslist For Baby

The ad shows a baby covered in food or mud being held by an adult.

Text with the ad reads, "We are out of tweak and we will sell this baby for a thousand dollars." Tweak is another word for methamphetamine, Local 6 reported.

Lt. Dave Okada said detectives are trying to track down whoever posted the message.

"Whether it's a joke or truly serious, it is not funny," Okada said.

Nicholas Dunbar and his friends said they spotted the advertisement on Craigslist under the Salem-area "rants and raves" section and immediately called police.

Officers said if the ad is real, the baby is in danger.

Find the kid, remove the kid from the home, put the kid up for adoption to live with parents that actually give a rat's arse about something other than F*cking Meth, and send the birth parents to the pits of Hades quick, fast and in a hurry. 2 March 28, 2008
