## Resource

Tune into your skepticism and lock your car doors because today we’re beginning our multi part series on Netflix’s Maternal Instinct and the horrifying crime of fetal abduction as we try and gain a broader understanding of why and how this ever happens in part one we"re looking at the broader picture- why women fake pregancies. From false pregnancies to manipulation to the worst case scenarios we're laying down the ground work before getting to the most extreme ending of fetal abductions. It's very, very rare for a faked pregnancy to end murder- in part one we're looking at the more common outcomes.
