Bridgeport... seriously, what the fuck

[spotsthekat]

Bridgeport is back to defend it's well established title as most fucked up place in America, move over gay exorcism and lady with monkey maul face, Bridgeport has produced another gem. In 1987 a woman from Bridgeport stole a baby from a hospital in the Bronx and raised it as her own. She had been pregnant, then she want away, miscarriaged and came back home with someone else's baby. No one questioned this. The young lady, now 23, realized she didn't look like anyone in her family and began suspecting there might have been a complication when she was very young. Also the mother couldn't produce a birth certificate... for 23 years. The stolen youth, found herself on the website for missing children contacted her biological family living in Atlanta. Her grandmother commented "She wasn't no stranger," ohh, out of the pot and into the fire. The forced-adoptive mother "turned up in Bridgeport over the weekend and police were tipped off by a pawn shop employee." That's how the article ends... go ahead, read it. Bridgeport, you win.
