Florida mother charged for seeking hitman to kill 3-year-old son

A young Florida mother was arrested after she allegedly used a parody website to hire a hitman to kill her 3-year-old son, police said.

Jazmin Paez,18, is facing charges of first-degree solicitation of murder and third-degree using a communications device for an unlawful use. She’s accused of logging onto hitmanforhire.com in search of an assassin, going as far as to submit a photo of her toddler as well as his exact whereabouts, according to court documents obtained by NBC Miami. She allegedly wanted the job done before the week’s end.

Investigators were alerted to Paez’s plot by the website owner, Robert Innes. He said that while he gets hundreds of hitman requests on a daily basis — many of them jokes — Paez’s solicitation stood out as too real.
