NEW YORK — A woman who kidnapped an infant from Harlem Hospital 24 years ago and raised the child as her own has pleaded guilty to a federal kidnapping charge.
Ann Pettway faces at least 10 years in prison for posing as a nurse and taking then 19-day-old Carlina White from her parents, ABC News reports. If she had chosen to stand trial, she could have been sentenced to a mandatory minimum of 20 years in prison.
