Fake Ad to Give Away a Child

In South Windsor, Connecticut, an ad was posted on Craigslist offering to give away a child. The man who made this ad did it because he simply thought that it would be funny. On May 8th, the South Windsor police department was contacted by the Avon police department after someone residing in Avon called to report seeing this ad. It was said that the ad included a picture of a child that looked as young as 5 years old. The police later went to visit the home of a man named Ryan Bissett, who admitted to making the ad. Police say that Bissett does not have a child. Although that ad was fake, it caused annoyance and "alarm" to the person who discovered it. Not only that, but it took up many hours of investigation to figure out if a child was at risk of injury or harm. Bissett was then "issued a summons" to be at court on May 21st on charge of Breach of Peace.
