On the National Scene

These girls had it all figured out.

Police: Girls, 10, 12, Kidnap Baby For Ransom Ransom Note Demanded $200,000.
Officers said the girls not only took the baby boy, Brandon Wells, from a crib in which he was sleeping, they also took assorted baby items, $20 in cash and left a ransom note telling the mother of the baby that "if you want to see your son again, then you won't call police and report him missing, and you will leave $200,000 on the sofa tonight, and we will return your son back safe."

A sad and disturbing story.
