Criminals using fake abandoned baby

[edanna]

I hummed and haaed about whether to post this because I don't want to alarm people and because you never know with some things whether they are just a weird hoax. But there is a story going round about criminals putting out a carseat with a baby doll in it next to the road near somewhere they can hide - trees etc - to get people, mainly women, to stop their car and get out. And then they do horrible things to that person. Has anyone else seen it? I don't know if this is a real tactic but I would have fallen for it. And I think a lot of people would. So I'm mentioning it just to make people aware. Next time I'll post something happy.?

Ah, EDmummy, why didn't I think of that. Glad to know it's not real. Thank you.

Honest reaction to be cautious! I just happen to be a bit of a cynic so am familiar with this site.
