ARIZONA (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - An Arizona woman faces charges for trading her two-year-old daughter for a gun.

Deputies say Tanya Nareau gave the girl to a family friend in exchange for that weapon.

Nareau said she thought the friend could take better care of her daughter than she could.

Detectives eventually tracked her down and arrested her.

Nareau is charged with unlawful sale of a child as well as an illegal weapons charge.

MESA, Ariz. -- Authorities said a woman who offered to trade her daughter for a gun is in the custody of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, Phoenix station KPHO-TV reported.

Deputies claim Tanya Nareau, 33, offered to give to her daughter to one of the girl’s relatives in exchange for a gun.

Deputies got a tip about the offer and arrested Nareau on Tuesday.

The girl’s family members told KPHO that Nareau originally made the offer during a phone call last week.

They said Nareau unexpectedly showed up at the relative’s workplace Monday and handed him her daughter. He did not give her a gun.

It is unclear why Nareau wanted a gun, but she cannot legally buy or own a firearm because she is a convicted felon.

Nareau did explain why she wanted to give her daughter away, according to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Doug Matteson.

“She told sheriff’s deputies she felt that she couldn’t raise the daughter adequately, so she would give the daughter to someone who could,” he said.

He said the girl is now safe and will stay with her father’s family members.

Nareau is in a Maricopa County jail, charged with unlawful sale of a child and solicitation to commit possession of weapon by prohibited possessor.

I'm glad to see Tanya didn't get far trading her little daughter out for a gun, and the little one is safe.  It could have gone down differently for sure.  It's sad isn't it?  This little girl will one day grow up and she will know what her worth was to her mother:  a gun.  And if it was a Saturday night special, maybe as little as $35.00 or less, who knows?
