An 18-year-old Florida mom is accused of soliciting the murder of her 3-year-old son on a parody hitman website.
Jazmin Paez, 18, allegedly Visited a parody ‘hit-for-hire’ website in an attempt to have the boy “taken away, far, far, far away and possibly be killed but ASAP,” Miami-Dade police said in a report. It said she was willing to pay $3,000.
The woman listed wanting “to get something done once and for all” as the reason for hiring a hitman, the report said.

Paez reportedly sent photos of her son to the site and shared where exactly he would be on the day of the hit.
The man who runs the website contacted Miami-Dade police, and detectives tracked down the woman on Tuesday using the IP address and phone number provided, according to investigators.
Detectives spoke with the boy’s grandmother, who informed them that her daughter moved out in May. She said the boy still lived with her, and that his mother would FaceTime the child regularly.
The grandmother told detectives she took the photo of the boy, which was posted on the hitman website, on Monday and sent it to her daughter.
