Tragic Story Behind The ‘Children for Sale’ Photo from the 1940s

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.
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 to do anything with the children, therefore she gave them away.
