In an attempt to gain some satisfaction following a bitter separation, a Spanish women tried her hand at circumventing a court system that continuously denied her child support.
The woman along with her 15-year-old son were arrested this week after they
scammed the boys father out of $1.26 million in ransom payments. The pair faked the son's kidnapping three times and were successful in collecting the money from the father. It was when they got greedy and tried for a fourth time that the father finally caught on and called police.
"I guess the women never believed in the old adage 'three times the charm'", said one police official. "I don't think the father is all that bright either so it may be that justice was served after all."
