ALBUQUERQUE -- A grand jury has indicted a woman accused of pretending she'd had a child and bilking her former husband out of more than $26,000.

The Bernalillo County grand jury last week indicted Viola Trevino, 54, on 24 counts, including kidnapping, perjury, conspiracy to commit fraud and conspiracy to commit forgery.

Trevino and Steve Barreras divorced in August 1999. The divorce papers make no mention of a pregnancy or minor children.

However, in December 1999, Trevino sued for child support, saying she gave birth to Barreras' child that September.

The elaborate scheme to get child support included false DNA evidence, a forged Social Security number and forged birth and baptismal certificates, authorities have said.

The system finally did the right thing on this case.

I remember this one.

It only took them 5 years for someone to even to ask for proof of the existence of the child?

What was going on during the original suing for child support?

Why didn't anyone else who knew this woman ask to see the child?

What about her own family?

Does "How stupid can they get?" cover this debacle?

But she really FELT that she had had a child and she really FELT that she deserved child support money.  Shouldn't that count for something?
