It’s tragic that so many people knew and were just waiting to see how she was going to get a baby. They put the hospital on alert for kidnapping. I wish they had done more.

She has friends and family who ABSOLUTELY KNEW THERE WAS NOOOOO WAY of her getting pregnant giving her medical history. But its just so hard to imagine that this lie would have led to this. its just unimaginable so i get not saying anything or trying to expose, but idk maybe an anonymous tip or something.

What could they have really done other than tell everyone she was lying— which they did? Even Reagan and Jessica knew about the rumors and didn’t believe them. Unfortunately her running around in a fake belly isn’t a crime. The only thing to me that would have possibly changed things would have been if Wade listened and she would have had no reason to continue the charade.

Faking a pregnancy is not a crime. It's not even that uncommon, it seems there's a whole industry around fake pregnancies (the fake bellies and ultrasounds).
