Pregnant single mother with terminally ill baby hoax
A blogger who fabricated a complicated web of deceit saw significant traffic to her website after apparenting making up a story about being pregnant with a fetus who had no chance of survivial but decided against aborting. The story is now being revealed as a hoax.
Beccah Beushausen fooled hundreds of thousands of people and said that she was in too deep, she couldn’t get out of the lie that garnered her mass attention, especially from anti-abortionists.
Some followers even sent gifts and photographs to the post office box she listed online. Parenting Web sites that oppose abortion promoted her site.
But the web of lies began to unravel when a photo of a lifelike doll posted as a supposed picture of baby April Rose raised suspicions, according to the Tribune.
“I have that exact doll in my house,” dollmaker and blog reader Elizabeth Russell of Buffalo, N.Y., told the newspaper. “As soon as I saw that picture, I knew it was a scam.”
