Mommy dearest

Strangest story of the day, from the BBC.

A woman in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has pleaded guilty to attempted homicide, assault and kidnapping for trying to cut a foetus from a neighbour's womb.

Peggy Jo Conner, 39, who gave up her right to trial by jury, was told by the judge she could face up to 80 years in prison and $100,000 (£51,000) in fines.

Authorities said Conner had tried to steal the unborn baby in an attempt to pass it off as her own child.

Imagine the kid's life if she had succeeded.
