This is one time I'm sorry I was right

It sickens me, what some people will do for attention. A while back I read about a whole bruhaha over at CJane's blog where someone else was blogging with her stories? Creating a whole fake life with someone else's true stories and then posting it up on the internet.

Well, recently (ok, a few months ago), I ran across the blog called Little April Rose? Anyone else read it?

Yeah, it was written by a mom (Beccah) who was pregnant with a baby girl (April Rose) who was diagnosed with Trisomy (X) - I can't remember the number. And now, I can't go back and try to find it because the blog is down. Forever.

Because it was all a big fat fake.

So here's where I feel bad. I had a really bad feeling about that blog for a long time.

The first few posts were fine, they seemed kind of wordy but who am I to call anyone else wordy, especially a pregnant mom?

And then, then it just got a little too verbose. All of these prayer requests were being collected, personal information shared, people prayed over (at least that's all legit, hopefully).

The paragraphs that would go on and on about how God was great and God loved her, despite her SIN of having PREMARITAL SEX (GASP!) and that April Rose wasn't a mistake even though her SIN of SEX (GASP!) was a mistake. Good Lord.

Whatever.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm callous but after a few posts that went on and on like that, I started to be suspicious.

And sadly, in this case, I was right.

McMama just posted about it, the Little April Rose blog is gone for good, and we've all been duped.

Who in their right mind would do such a thing? Who would exploit the pain and suffering of others in order to feel important or worthy? Who would pretend to suffer the way far too many people have truly suffered?

I don't know the whole story, the true story. But I know that girl who wrote that blog needs some serious mental help. And I pray that there is no baby at all, no child to suffer.
