Sick....you have money for booze but not for a train ticket for your baby... This is very sad, especially for the little girl.

How cruel. Didn't someone try that with a woman from southeast Asia or something a couple years ago? A true 'mail order bride'! I think they tried to ship her Fedex.

Did they at least put a hole in the suitcase for breathing purposes?

Who knows. It's a ploy not recommended, even if an air hole is provided.

If this isn't an urban legend then it should be a Forrest Gump headslapper.

I don't know why they thought she could be treated like a package. I mean, being a girl she is clearly not mail. ;-)

In the mid 1800s, my great-grandfather supposedly came into this country from europe as a small child (about 5) locked in a steamer trunk carried by his uncle. I think it was to save the cost of a boat ticket, but maybe it was also to get past immigration? No one in the family remembers.

And no, I am not related to the Marx brothers.

Maybe Michael Moore would enjoy a trip.

You would need a freight dolly for the luggage though.
