pregnancy to get some time off work was rumbled after a co-worker spotted her fake baby bump.Robin Folsom, 43, earned about $100,000 (about £74k) as Director of External Affairs at Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA), supervising the agency’s marketing and media communications.She told her bosses at GVRA that she was pregnant, and arranged to take maternity leave.However, Folsom’s plan began to unravel when a co-worker saw something suspicious and blew the whistle.According to a statement from the office of Georgia State Inspector General Scott McAfee, an investigation “revealed that in March 2021, a co-worker observed the lower portion of Folsom’s stomach ‘come away’ from her body," leading her to believe that Folsom wore a fake pregnancy stomach.”Folsom even invented a fake dad for her baby, a man named named “Bran Otmembebwe”.But McAfee said: “We ultimately didn’t find any evidence that he existed. That’s why she’s also been charged with identity fraud”.After “giving birth,” Folsom sent baby photos to several co-workers, but they didn’t all appear to be of the sam baby.The images “depicted children with varying skin tones,” a release from the Inspector General’s office stated.Folsom had told her employers that she had given birth once before, in July 2020, before getting pregnant again in August 2021.

Taylor Hicks is lucky to be alive after getting caught up in the tornado that tore through Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday.

Taylor Hicks says he “held on for dear life” while the tornadoes were ravaging through Nashville earlier this week.

“This tornado seemed like it came out of nowhere,” Taylor Hicks, 43, recalled after tornadoes devastated Middle Tennessee on March 3. American Idol‘s Season 5 winner was right there in Nashville when one of the tornadoes hit, and he retold his “life and death” experience three days later in an interview with PEOPLE. From the beginning, the singer knew that something ominous was happening on that Tuesday morning. “I remember looking outside my window and there was so much lightning, and then the power went off,” Taylor said, calling the power outage “eerie” since the lights didn’t flicker. “It went off immediately in a blink of an eye, [and] that’s when I knew I needed to get into a safe place.”
