God there's cruelty and there's this. Conning a woman into thinking she has just given birth to a much wanted child. Giving her drugs to mimic pregnancy, then lying her down and pretending, with weird trickery, pretending that her body has delivered a baby.
Social workers back home know different, they take the child away and prove, with science, that she is not this woman's child. The parents are more than devastated, the baby is in care and over in Nigeria someone is gloating.
It's unbelievable. British social workers say the couple must have known. Others say they had no idea. Whatever. It's tragic. I'm just hoping that this couple still want this baby, that they will still love her and treat her as their own, as they thought she was.
And that other desperate couples steer clear of Nigeria, or anywhere else offering a child as a certainty. Wish it could be done but there is no place on earth that can be true. Nowhere. Believe that if you believe nothing else.
