    Police ultimately tracked down a “contract” signed by both the runaway parents and one would-be buyer, who was identified by authorities as Cody Martin.

    It read: “I Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers are signing our rights over to Cody Nathaniel Martin of our baby boy for $1,000 on 09/21/2024.

    “Disclaimer: Alter signing this there will be no changing yall two’s minds and to never contact again.”

    I feel sorry for the baby, but that’s some top-notch contract writing.

      The “yall” is underrated in contract law.

      that’s some top-notch contract writing.

      You jest, but for all its faults, this “contract” is a lot clearer and to the point than most real contracts and EULAs I’ve ever had the misfortune to review.
