A South African woman was found guilty Thursday of kidnapping a newborn baby, raising her for 17 years until her real identity was revealed.
A series of coincidences successfully reunited the girl with her biological family.
Three days after her birth, Zephany Nurse was abducted from a hospital in Cape Town on March 30, 1997, leaving her parents, Morné and Celeste Nurse, emotionally distraught.
“My baby was crying and I saw a person dressed in maroon clothes standing by the door. She asked if she could pick up the child,” Celeste Nurse said in her tearful testimony in court, according to BBC. “I was in pain and under medication. I fell asleep. Next thing I remember is the nurse asking where my child was.”
Don't you think for once that that is my mother? Whether it is true or not is not for you to toy with.
