In what can only be described as both sad and bizarre, a teen has faked her triplet pregnancy for a whole 10 months! She managed to dupe everyone around her with the help of a website which supplies fake ultrasound photos amongst other things.
The Fake a baby.com website
The unidentified 16-year-old from Michigan in the US bought fake ultrasound pictures from a website called Fakeababy.com to convince family and friends she was expecting.
When the teen first announced her pregnancy, relatives were shocked.
Her young boyfriend, Jordan, remembers he was “excited” and “scared” about becoming a dad, but said he was ready for the challenge.
“I started looking for jobs the best I could. I was ready to donate all my time,” he said.
The months passed and gifts and money poured in from a local church, a not-for-profit group and a Facebook group called “Moms of Triplets”.
Relatives even threw a baby shower for the teen who had already named her three unborn children — Ivan, Alice and Isabella. There was even a cake!
The teen’s body mysteriously started looking more and more pregnant with an ever expanding abdomen.
However, once the nine-month mark had passed and there was still no baby, supporters grew suspicious.
Jordan’s mum, Krissy Wyrabkiewicz, said she couldn’t find the teen’s doctor, adding the expectant mother refused to take Jordan to medical appointments.
The teen explained away suspicions, saying doctors told her the triplets needed more time to grow.
A sceptical member of the “Moms of Triplets” Facebook group undertook her own investigations.
She discovered the teen’s ultrasound pictures were identical to those found on Fakeababy.com. She has not commented publicly.
Jordan’s aunt, Tracy Matthews, said she was shocked at the discovery.
“Down to baby A, baby B, baby C, the placements of the babies — they’re the exact same,” she said.
“You can put them side by side and the only difference you’re going to see is that she used a fake doctor that doesn’t exist. She put my nephew’s name on the ultrasound, which you cannot do.”
Jessica Adams, another of Jordan’s aunts, called police.
“I told the hotline she has three babies that she’s supposed to be full term with, and she won’t go to the hospital and they don’t have heartbeats. So, they sent detectives over there and she finally cracked and told the detectives that she lost them at six weeks,” she said.
While the teen has not commented, her brother said she was pregnant but miscarried.
“She didn’t tell anybody. She was scared and didn’t know what to do. All donations she took are being returned,” the brother said.
Police said they are investigating. whether the girl was ever pregnant.
Fakeababy.com is a “gag” website that sells fake ultrasounds, silicone pregnancy bellies, silicone breast push-ups, pregnancy tests and DNA tests.
The ultrasounds and sonograms range from $US19.95 to $US39.95.
What do you think of this story? Do you feel sorry for the teen? Should a website like Fake a Baby even exist?
