Florida man regrets trying to pawn his baby for laughs on Snapchat
Brian Slocum, 43, became the subject of a Sarasota Police Department investigation after he wandered into a local pawn shop and asked how much money he could get for his seven-month-old baby. By Antonia Noori Farzan Antonia Noori Farzan Reporter for the Morning Mix Email Bio Follow May 10 at 5:28 AM Brian Slocum thought he had a pretty good idea for a joke.
The single father figured the stunt would be prime material for the comedic Snapchat account that his nephew had recently encouraged him to start. But his attempt at dad humor went over like a ton of bricks. The new father was hardly the first to underestimate the stakes of what was supposed to be a harmless joke. Other pranksters have wound up injured or in jail as a result of poorly-conceived stunts that they cooked up in hopes of going viral, from the man who had to be rescued by firefighters after he cemented his head in a microwave to the YouTuber who was escorted out of his home in handcuffs after he decided it would be funny to film himself taking down stop signs.
Instead, his cavalier attitude toward the small boy in striped footie pajamas, who stamped his feet with obvious relish as he waited to learn his fate, set off alarm bells. “I just need a babysitter for like two weeks,” he reportedly complained as he left the store with his son in tow.
