All MOO!
Faking a kidnapping is bad enough (looking up Amber Alerts, and do the parents have to pay for it was damning - that means you want ALL the attention). However, a story involving an endangered toddler is tweaking the Papini formula; attention, yes, whilst adding something guaranteed to make you look heroic, not just a damsel in distress. I think this facet of the case has caused a lot of the reaction, if not the one she wanted. Because she might just be a silly young person, but she might not. Many known (and how many more unknown) cases of nurses who create emergencies, not necessarily meaning to hurt or kill patients, but heroically save them, well, sometimes, at first, anyway. Except, emergency treatments don’t always work. It’s a scary bit of behaviour for a person in her line of study.
IMO!
