Epic Fail: Mommy Dearest

FEBRUARY 17--A Pennsylvania woman is facing a child endangerment charge after a photo emerged online showing her posing next to her child, who was duct-taped to a chair, with tape over her mouth.
While the image appeared last week on mediatakeout.com, the site blurred out the faces of the smiling woman and the bound child, leaving them virtually unidentifiable to law enforcement.  That is until suspect Caira Ferguson, 21, approached police herself. She claimed that the person who leaked the photo--a copy of which she actually gave to cops--was also purportedly guilty of stealing her identity.

Thank God this woman wasn't bright enough to  see the flaw in her "master" plan.  Which leads me to yet another interesting article, which links to a study that suggests criminals are most often not as smart as their legal fellow citizens. There is a great deal of information about how the less you know the more likely you are to think you know it all.  Thank you, Captain Obvious.
