    I think there was a similar case, but about the mother. The courts took her baby and she was on trial for kidnapping.

    Eventually a geneticists saw it on the news and suggested she got tested again using DNA samples from other parts of her body and they found out she also was a chimera.

    Some racism was involved as she was working class and black, so the courts were just looking for a reason to take her baby and throw her ass in jail…

      I remember that one, it was the first time I heard of this scenario. It really sucks for folks involved, but it is kind of interesting too.

      You’d think they’d change DNA test methodologies so this sort of thing doesn’t happen again
