| "Hero" Mom Charged With Falsely Accusing a Man of Trying to Kidnap Her 5-Year-Old at the Mall |

| [Reason] - I think we had this earlier in the week She's the Jussie Smollett of the mommy world: Santana Adams of Milton, West Virginia, has been charged with falsely accusing a man of trying to kidnap her 5-year-old daughter at the mall. On April 1, Adams told the police that a stranger at the Old Navy store in Barboursville "grabbed the child by the hair and attempted to pull her away." The girl then "dropped to the floor with the male still pulling her." As WSAZ reported:
Hero mom thwarts predator with gun: That's what appeared to be the case when the accused man, Mohamed Fathy Hussein Zayan, was thrown in jail. Zayan is an Egyptian here on a work visa. But the case against him quickly began to unravel. First, the mom told investigators that on second thought, maybe the whole thing was a "cultural misunderstanding." Maybe the guy had just been trying to pat her daughter's head. By Tuesday, Zayan was released from the Western Regional Jail, weeping openly as he was greeted by his co-workers. By Thursday night he was a free man, after the prosecutor dismissed all charges. Hammers had reviewed the evidence, including surveillance video of the two shoppers calmly leaving the store at slightly different times, going in opposite directions. When Zayan had been arrested later that evening at the mall's food court he'd been completely stunned and confused. He'd actually been at Old Navy to shop for his own daughter. His public defender, Michelle Protzman, vowed to make sure the case is expunged. By Friday afternoon the tables had completely turned and Adams found herself facing charges for accusing Zayan of a crime that did not happen. Possible penatlies are a $500 fine and sixth months in jail. Perhaps you're wondering why someone would make up such a preposterous story. I have an idea. |

| #1 She'll get the Chicago treatment. Until a really really big hammer is dropped on those bearing false witness it will continue. We are in a nose dive to a low trust society. |
