So much for maternal instinct.
Prosecutors said Smith offered to give her mother’s neighbor custody of her 7-month-old daughter if the woman gave her a Chihuahua she was selling for $200.
Smith later upped the price to $2,000, authorities said. The neighbor told police she agreed because she believed Smith was neglecting the child and she wanted to help the girl, authorities said. The deal was never completed.
