A Pennsylvania woman who falsely claimed to be pregnant was arraigned Friday on charges of kidnapping a 3-day-old infant
from a prestigious Pittsburgh hospital by pretending to be a nurse and
sneaking the baby out in a bag. The newborn, Bryce Coleman, was unharmed
and reunited with his family Thursday evening, several hours after he
was taken.
The woman accused of nabbing him, Breona Moore, 19, was charged with concealing the whereabouts of a child, kidnapping, reckless endangerment and interfering with the custody of a child, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. The alleged kidnapping was so brazen, the baby’s mother said, Moore actually took the infant from her arms, explaining he needed “more tests.”
Moore allegedly tucked the baby into a handbag and walked out the front door of the hospital. Moore told police she “he had convinced people she was pregnant and had delivered the baby on Monday by C-section,” the criminal complaint read. The complicated ruse even involved postings to Facebook in which Moore apparently put up photos of herself pregnant, ultrasound images and status updates saying “I Just Want To Give Him So Much Love,” police said. It was Moore’s own family who contacted police shortly after the baby’s kidnapping was reported.
