i cannot believe she had to pay to get the wee baby back isn't that blackmail?? will the "cretin" face theft and blackmail charges now??? i flippin well hope so.
If it can be proved - which is unlikely, as the police will not have advised to make any payment, so the evidence will have been lost
I am sure that if I was faced with the same situation, I would pay too - but sadly, each time of of the evil people are successful in getting ransom money, it encourages more of the same.......
