CNN —Police arrested an 18-year-old mother Tuesday after she attempted to hire a hitman to kill her 3-year-old son, according to police. The individual who runs the website received a service request to put out a hit on the intended victim, Paez’s son, police say. Authorities tracked down Paez using an IP address and phone number obtained through the fake website, which led them to the residence of the grandmother of the 3-year-old. The phone number confirmed the original request and agreed to pay $3,000 for the job, police said. Paez thought by hiring a hitman to kill her son, she would be able to rekindle their relationship, the affidavit says she told police.
