A Miami-Dade juvenile court judge decided that the children of a woman who police say tried to sell her infant son should remain with her estranged husband.

The strange case became even more complicated when another man showed up at a Tuesday court hearing to declare himself the father of the 8-month-old boy.

Meanwhile, Kenia Quiala Bosque, 30, of Opa-locka, remains in jail on a felony adoption violation charge. Before the custody hearing in juvenile court, a Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge set her bail at $25,000 — five times the guidelines.

“She tried to broker the sale of her flesh and blood,” Judge Victoria Brennan said. “To this court, that callousness raises the level of her dangerousness to the community.”

During the bond hearing, Bosque said her estranged husband, Osmani Pelegrín, gave her about $650 a month in child support for the older children, a 6-year-old girl and 8-year-old boy.

Pelegrín, of Hialeah, says he is unemployed, but makes about $900 a month collecting and selling scrap metal. He said he married Bosque in Cuba.Benjamin Guerrero, an attorney for Children’s Legal Services, asked Juvenile Court Judge María Sampedro-Iglesia to grant temporary custody of all three children to Pelegrín while the criminal case against Bosque plays out.

Sampedro-Iglesia ordered Pelegrín to seek food stamp assistance for all three children.

“The children are fine,” said a teary-eyed Pelegrín, who has had custody since Bosque’s arrest. “The children are with me.”

Later, his 8-year-old son asked if they could go to McDonald’s. Pelegrín said he is the father of the two oldest children but not the baby.

Another man who identified himself as Yoel Boza Alonso arrived after the hearing started to claim paternity of the 8-month-old, who shares the same name.

Boza said he was unsure of the child’s paternity because Pelegrín and Bosque were together at the time of the child’s conception.

“I told her that I’d get a DNA test, and if it was my child, I’d pay child support,” Boza said after the hearing. He added that he will seek custody if DNA tests prove he is the father.

For now, Boza has no paternal rights, Sampedro-Iglesia said.

“For all intents and purposes, Mr. Pelegrín is the father of all three children,” the judge said.

Bosque was arrested in her Opa-locka apartment Sunday, a day after police said she offered her son to a man she knew from Monroe County for $7,000 in cash. Authorities say they can’t remember another case of a parent trying to sell his or her child.

Bosque’s neighbors have described her as a doting mother who struggled to make the $650 monthly rent on her one-bedroom apartment.

During Tuesday’s hearing, state officials said Bosque had sought help from the Department of Children and Families at the beginning of August. She found housing through Miami-Dade Homeless Trust.

Investigators say Bosque called a man she knew in Monroe County on Saturday and offered to sell him the baby. She told him she was under financial stress. What Bosque didn’t know is that the man was a police informant who alerted authorities.
