Fake News — Parenting Edition
An Amber Alert was issued after Jessica Pickett reported her 4-year-old daughter, Janylia Fails, missing. According to authorities, Pickett told police her car was running in front of her Columbus, Ohio, home with her daughter sleeping in the back seat. Pickett said the car was stolen when she went inside to get her remaining children. Officers located the car about a mile away, but the child wasn’t inside. Investigators determined the girl had been staying with her aunt, and was not in the car when it was stolen. Pickett, police say, told them she’d reported her daughter in the vehicle so it would be found faster. Bradley Stroud, 22, was charged for the theft of the vehicle; Pickett was charged with falsification. The girl and her two siblings, aged 5 and 2, were taken into protective custody.
