Remember the kidnapped child?

People who read the papers will recall the 2 year old kidnapped & released unharmed in Santiago recently in MacDonald's. This is how it was reported in Dominican papers

This, it appears, is what was going on behind the scenes in US to get this child released

Other than the location where she was found, you would be forgiven for thinking this was 2 separate events. But clearly, it's the same child. Interesting reporting differences.

Yes indeed - from Fridays DR1 News:

Mother kidnapped her own kid
The police report that 22-year old Wilmari Madelin Rosso was responsible for kidnapping her own daughter, 2-year old Johanna Monegro Rosso. A woman had returned the child to the MacDonald's playground in San Francisco de Macoris before a ransom could be paid. The police says that the mother confessed that it was a plan to get RD$200,000 that her cousin needed in order to set up a business. As reported in El Caribe, her cousin Luis Federico Garcia Fernandez had had problems with the police, wanted to go straight and needed the money to start anew. The kidnappers had asked for RD$500,000 in ransom. The child's father lives in the US.

Wonder if the mother is aware of the amount of political muscle the father has access to?
