      Acted very well by Nigel Pivaro, aka Corrie bad boy Terry Duckworth. Seriously, I hope that crazy woman's real ex-husband got the credit he deserved from the police and the family. As for the 3-year sentence - what a farce.

    The kidnapper had a long history of bizarre behaviour, which probably comes from a significant degree of mental illness. 3 years in jail is too light in my opinion, when out, she might have continued attempting to steal a baby so a threat to society. At the very least, she should have had strict monitoring after being released.

    As the oldest child myself, that pressure and burden is unfair. I get being helpful and protecting family, but to leave a baby with your 9 year old and a stranger, even for those times is unreal. Then to place blame even out of pain, even the fastest recant of that will ever heal those words and trauma - as is proven with her own experience in motherhood. So tragic. She was telling her she forgot her change, not accusing her of anything, she should've just said thanks, I'll live without it and moved along or taken her babies with her. She's so lucky that kidnapper didn't have more malevolent intentions and went for her 9 year old instead - likely she wouldn't have survived a kidnapping.

She was convicted of the murder but sentenced as she would have been in 1955. FIVE years SUSPENDED sentence!!! The trial had the court room in tears and that is ALL she got. Disgraceful

However, I'm sure she's spent years blaming herself and none of us know what we'd do in a similar situation, especially when the woman said she was a store detective.

      Sadly, a lot of "Catholics" use that school of thought. They somehow think because they claim to be Catholic they can't use protection, birth control, or get an abortion. But they think having unprotected sex and premarital sex is somehow okay in the eyes of the Lord. I personally think those types of people are disgraceful and delusional. And they made no sense.

    I really love Nightmare in Suburbia. It is one of my top favorites.
    I was so worried that baby Natalie was going to be murdered. I kept holding my breath. I so wanted the family to get her back and so I was really happy with the ending. They were such a nice family and if that woman did not kill the baby I would worry how she would grow up with a crazy woman.
    I do think she should have either gotten a harsher sentence or better yet remanded to a mental hospital to get therapy and help.

    All this "people back then we're more trusting" is utter nonsense this wasn't the 1930s!. I was born just after the Moors murders trials, people knew that monsters existed and they didn't have horns and tails. I lived in a small village in Scotland, and I remember how tightly my mum would hold my hand anytime we went out. It was the same for my friends We didn't get much in the way of freedom until high school. We weren't just taught not to talk to or get into cars with strange men, women could be just as dangerous and after the Mary Bell trial that warning extended to older kids. All this "more trusting" "didn't know about paedophiles" etc.etc. is condescending and just not true.

    There are biases that we all share as people. Even though the idea of leaving children with a stranger sounds like something no one would do, but if the stranger was female, unassuming, has a soft pitched voice, and leaving the children for a few minutes, might not feel like such a risk.

Answering stupid questions about what she did since listing hime were useless questions at the time they can be asked after. Why would a mother and child claim the baby stolen when it hadn’t been? Sometimes I really question police procedure! Nothing should be set in stone.
    I would never leave my child with anyone but it’s 2023 not 1980’s I would have used the lift these days but I can’t say what I would have done in the 1980’s before internet and such wide information about abductors

    To think she only served 18 months is a ridiculous injustice.
    So glad the family is together once again. The big sister showed more emotion than the mother. I am saddened to think of the sister feeling guilty for her baby sister being kidnapped. Glad to hear the mother take responsibility for her stupidity of leaving her children with a total stranger.
    We all make mistakes in judgement,judgment, am sure the mother blamed herself everyday.Just so glad it all ended well. The kidnapper should had gotten life in a psychic ward of the prison in my opinion.

All that information will be there hours or days later. What wont be there is the missing baby/ child. Even if that person was crazy and tried to claim she had a baby that was stolen by someone what harm is it to locate the true mother and child to rule out that the one saying its hers was infact not. Thats if the roles were revered. This was a actual mother missing her baby and nothing was done. That is a disgusting disgrace and a easy way out for those police.

    Omg! That poor family. I’ve read some quite nasty comments about this awful case. This family will have beat themselves up without nasty digs from other people. One of my sons got abducted many years ago. He was 10 at the time. He went to the shop at the end of the road that we lived on, with his pocket money to buy a comic. It was Good Friday in April 1995. He was abducted by this weirdo guy that had an obsession with both me and my son! We’d moved house for the 4th time in 2 years. Obviously I didn’t think he’d find us so quickly, we’d only been in that house two months. The hell I went through that day is incomparable and and one of the worst days of my life. The day before he took my son he’d been released from prison for breaking into my house, he’d ran on the boot, roof and bonnet of my car, smashed our windows. On another occasion he’d broken in to my house, cleared up the mess he’d made breaking in and we came home to him laying on my sofa in a pitch black house! Obviously I got my son back, shaken up but otherwise unharmed. But I’ll never ever forget that ordeal. I have sincere sympathy for the family in this case and what a relief to get their baby back and it’s very refreshing to have a case with a happy ending.

    When someone comes to police claiming their baby has been kidnapped, the police need to act immediately. If it's a lie, they can deal with that later. But if it's the truth, it's imperative that not a second is wasted. It's unbelievable that the police didn't take her seriously until the stroller was found. I mean WTH?? Also I'm glad the mother has realized how horrific it was for her to blame her 9-year-old daughter for Natalie being taken, when it was the mother's job to keep BOTH children safe. I realize she understands that now, but I have such a hard time understanding how any parent could say something so terrible to their child.

The store immediately closed all entrances and security started looking for her. A young Marine home on leave who overheard everything, started looking under all off the dress displays in the store. My 3 year old niece had on a feather boa, long gloves, and tiara 👑 on her head. She was under the prom dresses. Nordstroms sent her home with that stuff- I think they were just as thankful 🙏 that she was found quickly and the police 👮🏿 👮‍♀️ 👮🏾‍♂️ didn’t have to get involved in a huge child abduction case.
