She had not always pleaded for leniency.
Kamiyah Mobley, a Florida teenage girl, was snatched at birth and was raised under a false identity. Years later after police resolved the case and arrested her kidnapper, she pleaded for leniency for the woman who she believed to be her real mom.
The photo above on the left shows Kamiyah after birth before she was taken by her kidnapper 'mom,' who raised her as her own child for 18 years. As the Daily Mail reported, the teen, who was raised under a false identity for more than a decade, said she was hoping that the sentence for Gloria Williams would not be very long.
Thus, she asked for leniency for her "kidnapper mom."
Kamiyah Mobley, as she was named by her birth parents, lived as Alexis Manigo for the better part of her life. She was snatched from the hospital where she was born by 52-year-old Gloria Williams when she was just 8 hours old. At the time Williams had recently suffered from a miscarriage.
