WEIRD NEWS: Worst Daughter Ever
A Spanish woman is in jail for faking her own kidnapping in an attempt to extort thousands of dollars from her own mother -- and she did this multiple times.
A video sent to the woman's mother shows her daughter blindfolded and bloodied, with a knife being held to her throat. She can be heard saying, "Mommy. They’ve kidnapped me, Mommy, and I don’t know why. You can’t say anything to the police. If you do, they’ll kill me.” She added that her captors will kill her unless they are paid a $50,000 ransom. The worried mother believed the threat was real and quickly withdrew the money. And as authorities later discovered, she had also made three previous withdrawals totaling $45,000 to send to the daughter's supposed kidnappers. Although police initially investigated the case as a real kidnapping, they soon discovered that the daughter was fine and that her boyfriend and his family were behind the fake plot. Police arrested all of them, including the daughter, and charged them with extortion. They're all facing up to five years in jail. (The Daily Beast)
Scott's Thoughts:
- That is a horrible daughter.
- Once is bad enough, but doing this to your mother four times?
- The daughter better hope she's never kidnapped for real because no one will believe her..
