Megan McCormic wanted to get her ex-boyfriend back so she lied to him and told him they had a son. Believe it or not Megan McCormic isn’t the first woman to make up a baby in the hope of getting a boyfriend back. There have been worse cases than this where women have not only made up a baby but when time came for them to produce a baby they have gone out and stolen infants at times cutting the baby from the pregnant mother’s womb. Let’s breathe a sigh of relief that McCormick only downloaded a picture from the Internet and tried to claim it was a picture of her missing son.

Women tend to think a baby will help them hold on to a man and sometimes, in desperation to hold on to a man some women lie about being pregnant. In this case, police say McCormick might really have been pregnant but suffered a miscarriage at the six month mark of her pregnancy. However, she never told her ex-boyfriend, John Buchness, about the miscarriage.  Obviously the way McCormick chose to try to get herself out of her predicament wasn’t smart. She filed a missing person’s report and there was an Amber alert issued for her missing son Riley McCormick who never existed.

The best thing Megan McCormic could have done would have been to tell the truth in the first place and deal with her broken relationship. Lying to try to hold on to a man always backfires; and getting the police involved, deceiving the world, that’s inexcusable. She’s lucky it’s only a misdemeanor and the worse punishment she’ll face is having to pay restitution for using up manpower.
