Teen Admits She Faked Her Own Kidnapping

A believed kidnapping ends in a happy, if not bizarre turn of events as the teen was discovered safe and sound. And definitely not kidnapped. On Monday, footage caught on a security camera prompted an amber alert after 16-year-old Karol Sanchez was seen being forcefully dragged inside of a car and kidnapped. Hours later, Sanchez was found in the Bronx safe and unharmed. Now she admits to staging the video and her own kidnapping in order to get attention from her over-protective mother. Police are still determining if Sanchez or the two men involved in the staging will face criminal charges. It is still unclear to authorities whose idea it was. It’s reported that Sanchez’s mother was debating moving them back to their home country of Honduras and may have been the reason behind the staged kidnapping.
