It shows four siblings and their mother at the entrance to their house. In front of them is a gigantic sign saying: “4 children for sale inquire within.”</span><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;display:inline;float:none;">As it happens, the photo was real and the children were indeed on sale. Their parents, Ray (forty) and Lucille (twenty-four) Chalifoux were both unemployed and poverty-stricken. They were facing eviction from their apartment for not paying the rent.</span><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;display:inline;float:none;">It’s possible that the sign “4 children for sale” was just a cry for help. Once the newspapers around the country published the story, help actually came in form of job offers, apartments, and money.</span><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;display:inline;float:none;">Nobody really knows what happened in the following two years. However, in 1950, father Ray left and the family fell apart. Mother Lucille began dating a man who didn’t want anything to do with the children, therefore she gave them away.</span><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;display:inline;float:none;">Lana was adopted, RaeAnn and Milton were sold for $2 (around $22 in today’s value), and Sue Ellen was adopted. Bedford, who was still in his mother’s womb at the time the photo had been taken in 1948, was adopted as well</span><br class="html-br" style="color:#050505;font-family:'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'system-ui', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"></span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> </span> </p>
