Look at these two winners.

The parents of two boys were arrested in Lancaster after trying to sell their children in exchange for money or drugs, authorities said Monday.

The couple, 38-year-old Vincente Calogero and Sarah Nilson, 32, were taken into custody after deputies were called to respond to a report of possible child abuse, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.

The call came at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 14, from the 100 block of Avenue J-8, a residential area.

It’s not clear what circumstances led to the call to authorities, but a sheriff’s news release said detectives “would like to commend the residents of Lancaster who intervened in response to the danger the children were in.”

Deputies found Calogero and Nilson “had been attempting to give and/or sell their children in exchange for money or drugs,” the release stated.
