Indianapolis Mother’s Alleged Crime Shocks Nation
In a gut-wrenching case that’s sparking outrage across America, Morgan D. Stapp, a 32-year-old Indianapolis mother of seven, faces charges of attempted child trafficking. Authorities claim she offered her 7-month-old daughter for sexual assault in exchange for $400 via Snapchat. This horrifying allegation, uncovered by the FBI, has left communities reeling and raises chilling questions about child safety. What drives someone to such an unthinkable act? The details are disturbing, but the truth must be told.
The Disturbing Messages That Sparked Investigation
Court documents reveal Stapp allegedly sent Snapchat messages in November 2024, offering her infant for $400. One message chillingly read:
"You can f*** her for 400; half now, rest later."
Snapchat flagged these messages, alerting the FBI. Meanwhile, Stapp sent over 7,000 messages, including some begging for money to buy diapers. These actions suggest desperation, but nothing justifies the alleged crime. The investigation quickly zeroed in on her.
FBI Uncovers Damning Evidence Against Stapp
The FBI interviewed Stapp at her Indianapolis home. Initially, she claimed her Snapchat was hacked. However, she later admitted lying to dodge questions. A search warrant showed her phone accessed the account, and the IP address traced to her home. Therefore, her hacking excuse crumbled. Authorities also found recent selfies on her phone, proving she used it after the alleged messages. This evidence paints a grim picture.
Legal Battle and Child Welfare Concerns
Stapp faces a Level 2 felony, with a possible 10- to 30-year sentence. Her bond, initially $200,000, dropped to $100,000. At her July 2025 hearing, she described herself as a stay-at-home mom relying on aid. Disturbingly, her children were returned to her by Child Services in June 2025, just before her arrest. Consequently, questions linger about oversight. A pretrial conference is set for September 2025.
A Nation Demands Justice for the Innocent
This case exposes a sickening betrayal of trust. Stapp’s alleged attempt to traffic her child has ignited fury and heartbreak. While she’s presumed innocent until proven guilty, the evidence is chilling. Courts must act swiftly to protect children. As this unfolds, we’re left asking: How can we better safeguard the vulnerable from such horrors?
