An eighth grader was accosted in her middle school hallway for simply completing an assignment. Her teacher assigned the students to make either past or present protest signs, hers were against illegal immigration which apparently was not well received by her peers.

ATHENS, Texas (AP) - An East Texas girl who made an anti-illegal immigration sign for a U.S. history class says she was beaten by other students.

Her sign said: “If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration.”

The father of 13-year-old Melanie Bowers of Athens says he’s keeping her out of classes until probably next week until the situation is resolved.

As a class project, students made “protest signs” about past and current issues.

So, as it all turns out, the whole concocted story was a scam. The infant who was left in a cab was not left by her father, but rather a calculated move by the entire family to get rid of the infant.

Her mother? 14.

The Queens livery cab driver hailed as a hero for rescuing an abandoned baby was exposed as a liar today, police said.

Klever Sailema, 45, helped concoct an elaborate ruse to ditch the adorable child, who was born to a 14-year-old girl, police sources said.

A baby was listed in a classified ad on craigslist.com, for sale or lease. Police are investigating whether or not it was a hoax.

Police in Newmarket, N.H. are investigating whether a recent ad on craigslist offering to sell a baby is true or just a hoax.

The ad in part reads, “My daughter is almost 1-year-old and is driving me nuts… if you have always wanted a child of your own and you either (expletive) or can’t get approved for adoption then this is you,” MyFoxBoston.com reported.
