Ok this is a kind of warning/rant/pity party so beware!
I go to another forum where there is just a few of us but we are all in similar situations so are pretty close and really supportive. We have just found out one of our members (there are about 20) isn't who she says she is and stole pictures of other peoples children and said they were hers. I feel so violated cos we all supported her when she was going through her so called dramas and posted pictures of our kids  In hindsite we should of thought something was suss because this is all the things she told us:
- Her first baby died of Luekemia (sorry I can't spell) - A few months after that baby dies she had another baby - Got pregnant with number when number 2 was 3 weeks old - Has number 3 3 months early so there is 7 months between the second 2 - Now looks after her partners brothers kids or something who are 7,4 and 2 or something and are planning to adopt them - She is 19 - Her partner proposed on the top of the eiffel tower and everyone around them clapped - She went on an overnight trip away (without kids) when the prem baby was 3 weeks - Shes an identical twin and her Df couldn't tell the difference and accidentally slept with her sister and theres so much more that doesn't add up. The thing that really annoys me is the lengths she went to to fool us all. She came on and made a whole thread on what bhs feel like because she never felt them with the first 2 babies and then her partner came on and posted that baby was born. She got pictures of people who had just given birth and photoshopped her face on to them. She even posted belly shots. The creepy thing is she asked for all our home addresses so she could post xmas cards (from England) but luckily noone gave it to her. I'm so glad this forum you need 100 posts to get to photos and most of us have met someone else off here. Call me naive but I just can't believe people actually do that and what is the point? To make a few internet friends? So everyone beware of internet weirdos |

| She did the same on another forum and someone thought her stories were a bit much and did some investigating. She found a blog with the exact pictures on and talked to the real parents. Apparantly she is actually 19 but thats about it. It was weird tho cos some of her photos she didn't look the same. |

I just found out some people had met her (I don't know what she said about having no kids with her) and she acted really weird around the babies and insisted on taking them for walks and stuff

Believe me, you couldn't make up my life if you tried, it's faaaaar too complicated! Seriously tho, I do wonder about people who do this sort of thing, what sort of 'issues' they must have, and it does make me aware that there could easily be someone out there pinching pics of my kids from OB and pretending they are theirs ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

that is soooooo bizarre. as someone else said (can't be bothered scrolling) - why vwould you bother. too much weird stuff happens in real life without making crap up.
I remember watching some talk show where this woman had basically convinced a communitiy she had cancer - they had rallied around her, fundraised and stuff - and then it turns out nothin was wrong at all - mental illness obviously. |

We're wondering the same thing about a woman on a forum I am on. There is so much horrid stuff that has happened in her life and it just seems a bit too extreme now. ------------- Robyn www.scarecrowfarm.co.nz |

There is one border-line person on another forum I have been on (don't go there much anymore), but she seems pretty harmless and if anything she is good entertainment. I could be totally wrong, and have to say that if her life is real, then she is one AMAZING lady. And I know there was one on TNN that came back a few times after being banned, she is in NZ.
These people are the reason why I'm a bit cautious about how much info/pics are around on the net of me and my family. You never know. ------------- Mum to two gorgeous girls! |

I must admit though there are some people out there who just seem to court drama! I had a friend and her whole family make a series of shortland St look tame You honestly just couldn't make up the kind of thing that goes on in their lives on a week to week basis. I imagine if she were on any forums most people would think she was a nutter telling stories. ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

How cracked!! I remember some chick on bebo was doing that, she had all these photos of her "baby" at different ages...when in fact they were different babies in each pic!. Lots of people caught on to her and investigated and they found the actual parents of the children from other websites with the same photos. Gosh the lengths some people go to huh -------------

Very strange. I wonder why anyone would go to such length to invent a life they don't have 
She should probably be wirting novels with that kind of imagination - find a positive outlet for it ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

OMG its like Dejavu (SP?) all over again reading this thread Rach!
Not so long ago, maybe 3-4months I was on that social networking site bebo, and same thing happened to me where I had been conversing with a girl who had told me she was solo mummy to three kids and she came from somewhere over in England etc ....and yeah not so long after a lot of users started to click on that she wasn't who she said she was, i think she was 19 also! I notice ooEvaoo mentioned something similar above. Im wondering if its the same person that she has mentioned AND that has been on OB! I will see if i can find the link to the page of family photos she stole from someone and tried to claim as her own children. LOTS of sickos out there, i felt rather violated after i found out i was talking with a made up person about mummy issues (when truth was probably that this female/male had no children whatsoever)and worst of all i let them have access to my private page and they could have easily stolen photos of my son! I am not able to go into the photo threads here yet (obviously) and i barely come on so i have no idea whats going on most of the time. So sad to see Bombshell leaving, i rather enjoyed her posts, had me in fits of laughter at times! Anyhoo enough of me waffling on, we have more pressies to unwrap! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

FOUND THE LINK. The girl that was faking on bebo said the two youngest kids (girl and boy) and the baby on this page were hers. But she mixed some of these photos in with other she had stolen of other peoples bubs at a young age and birth photos to TRY make it look like they were really hers! ------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

She is very strange. Makes me glad that the people on here are truthful and I have meet quite a few people as well so I know you guys are telling the truth when it comes to your children. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
