While at Nareau's home, a family friend who had the child confirmed to deputies that Nareau gave the girl to him for a gun.
Deputies say Nareau felt that the friend would do a better job in raising the child. They say Nareau also claimed she could not buy a weapon because she's prohibited to do so by law.
Authorities say Nareau has been booked into county jail. She's charged with the unlawful sale of a child and solicitation to possess a weapon by a prohibited person.
It was unclear whether Nareau had a lawyer.
