A woman staged a kidnapping of her four-month-old son after a DNA test proved that the father was not her husband. After one of the co-conspirators confessed a few days later, the boy was found and the four individuals involved were arrested.

The baby’s mother, surnamed Liu, 39, initially reported her child missing on May 16. The story received a lot of attention from both Chinese social media and news networks.
