SOCIAL MEDIA TO THE RESCUE

Three hours after a woman disguised as a nurse abducted a newborn baby girl from a Quebec hospital, the infant was back in her mother’s arms thanks to social media. Police promptly flooded Twitter and Facebook with pictures of the suspect and a description of her car. Four young friends recognized her as a former neighbor and called the police when they found the alleged kidnapper at her home. Minutes later, baby Victoria was safe and sound. “It was a beautiful moment,” said mother Mélissa McMahon. “The police officer cried, the nurses cried, the investigators cried, and all the doctors too.”
