You Might Want To Sit Down For This One
This needs to be made into a made for television movie or at least an episode of Law & Order. If someone sees this as a Law & Order episode, let me know so I can watch it.
Let's start with as 17 year old teen named Gladys who tells her fiance that she is pregnant. 8 months pregnant. She has been telling him that he is the father for the past 8 months but he has not really seen her in a long time and has no idea that she is NOT actually pregnant. 9 months is approaching and she needs a baby. So, she comes up with a brilliant idea.
She lives with a girl who has a two week old baby and has some other kids too so she probably would not miss the two week old baby.
Our teen hires two gang member to break into the house Gladys shares with the mother of the two week old and kidnap the baby. Oh, and for their payment they can steal anything they find, including Gladys' stuff. The two gang members do it and when the mother escapes she runs outside and finds Gladys with the baby. She thinks Gladys has saved the baby from the kidnappers and so do the police. They think she is a victim of the robbery too.
You think this is finished, but it gets so much better. This is what makes it Law & Order worthy.
Gladys was ticked off the gang members left her behind so she tells police where one could be found. Police at this point still don't know that Gladys is involved, but hey, she knew where one of the guys was, so that should have been a clue. Gladys then heads towards San Diego where her future mother-in-law lives and tells her that people have kidnapped her and induced labor and they are holding her baby hostage for $10,000 ransom. Well, the future mother-in-law freaks out and calls police. The police talk to Gladys and she changes her story. She says now that she delivered the baby but put it in a trash can. So, the police call in more police and they search trash cans everywhere looking for a baby that does not exist. When they could not find the baby, Gladys finally broke down and admitted everything.
If convicted, Gladys faces life in prison.

omg, I was so afraid this was going to be one of those Cesarean Murder stories -- I almost stopped reading
she sounds like she needs to be sent to a psychiatric hospital, not a prison.
It's really just a story about an idiot. There are tons of those (idiots). Doubt I'll even think of this again after I click Publish Your Comment.
It still doesn't sound good for the baby...what makes people think of this cray-cray stuff as plausible solutions to problems...really, what?
the idiocy of people are hopeless (i hope the better for the child)
@Barton OMG, me too! I was so scared it was that too. Ugh
The manipulation, the planning... my god, what the hell is WRONG with people?!
@Barton and RenoBlondee, I was thinking the same thing. Overall, the story ended much better than I thought it would. I don't really understand why she faces life in prison. The baby wasn't actually kidnapped or hurt so I don't understand a life sentence. Don't get me wrong, this girl is seriously, seriously disturbed and needs to be locked up for years and years. But life?
@Barton Fink - Wasn't that a storyline on Private Practice?? :-/
How was she pulling off looking 8 months pregnant?
I agree life kn prison seems excessive. Maybe it is for attempted kidnapping of a child, extortion and lying to the police?
She does deserve life in a sanitatirum, she is clearly not sane and I doubt anyone who would come up with such a ludacris scheme ever will be.
Thankfully the ba y is not hers!
@Leilana - you're right. Violet's patient attacked her and cut out her baby.
Like Barton and everyone else, I also thought the same thing.
@lunabelle - maybe they threw in a conspiracy charge?
My bf is a pharmacist; he's been robbed at gunpoint three times in the last year and a half. Twice he was tied up and made to lie face-down on the floor. They caught one guy from one of the robberies (bf was able to hit the panic button). He was charged with three felonies, one being kidnapping (tying someone up and holding them again their will). The guy was just sentenced to 12 years. May he rot in hell.
The kidnapping wasn't attempted. It happened. Sure, they found the baby outside the building and was safe, but the kid was still removed from its home without permission. Plus I'm sure Gladys will be charged with her part in the subsequent robbery.
the girl is 17 and not living with her mother or father. so, she comes from a broken or non existent home. its just sad.
She has low intelligence and high cunning. If it had been high intelligence and low cunning, well, that is us. High intelligence and high cunning, well, those are criminals who never get caught.
Surfer - OMG that's so awful. There have been several break-ins close to my area of town this year, all for prescription drugs. WTH is wrong with people? Praying your bf stays safe!
This bitch is a sociopath. She needs to be locked away for life. That woman is lucky she didn't have her and her other children killed.
When she gets out (and she will, because, come on), she'll do something worse.
Yes, she needs to be locked away for life to protect those of us who are just trying to live. She is a waste. She will never stop.
Well, her mug shot is just chilling. I see no remorse in that cold glare.
Imagine being in the big house with the likes of her...times a few thousand.
Stay straight, kids!
Thanks Jesse D. Let's hope it never happens again (unlikely).
@surfer, that is horrible. Prescription drugs are THE major drug problem now tho, so there may be more of that. The penalty for doing that to a pharmacist should be MUCH higher than that.
@r's comment, "If it had been high intelligence and low cunning, well, that is us," just has me LOLing for some reason.
I still don't see why she would get life in prison. Hell they just released John Hinckley so you know that ain't gonna happen.
@figgy - I couldn't agree more. All they wanted was Oxy. Never mind the fear of getting a bullet in the back of the head, he's lucky he didn't have a heart attack from the fright.
There's a drug store in my neighborhood that has a big sign on the front door that says they don't keep Oxy in stock, and if you need it, it will have to be called in. I wonder if that even makes a difference.
As stupid as this girl is/was, she reminds me of Casey Anthony and her RIDICULOUS stories about where her daughter was, where she worked, etc. People don't THINK when they make up stories that can easily be verified.
I don't get the life sentence either. No one was hurt. The girl is a sociopath as someone else said and needs years and years of work but life seems extreme.
Why not just ask the roommate to "borrow" the baby?
