This 14-yr-old California girl went for $16k cash, plus 150 cases each of beer and soda, two cases of wine, and some meat. Bonus: Dad summoned the cops (calling the gal a "runaway") only because the buyer failed to pay up. Extra Bonus: Authorities believe that, since both buyer and seller are Mexican, the transaction (arranged marriage) would have been perfectly acceptable where they come from.

I hate to burst their bubble, but selling human beings is illegal in Mexico, too.
I can't say it never happens there, but it definitely is not legal.
Mexico abolished slavery long before the U.S. did.

I belive they said they are indiginous indians that had settled in the area. If you want to blame anybody, don't blame their culture. Blame the immigration laws. These people are allowed to come into our country without any knowledge of our laws and customs, without the ability to read or speak english. And we wonder why they point at a 727 and they say "bird."
Ok, mabee I am going a lil overboard.
