Tabloid Culture

A couple who's new baby was snatched from a Hospital maternity unit by a Woman posing as a nurse, faced an agonising wait whilst the search for a Newspaper willing to pay for their story continued.

Ruby Cretin, 35, had given birth to daughter, Petal, just eight hours before she was taken. Max Clifford was alerted when the baby's Father Stephen, 36, found her cot empty..

Their nightmare began about an hour after the snatch when Mr Clifford informed them that immediate negotiations with papers in the local area had drawn a blank.

He expressed his fears that the search for the tabloid may have to be extended to the rest of the Country.
At an emotional press conference this morning, Stephen Cretin appealed for help.
"This is a complete nightmare" he said, "My heart goes out to anyone who has ever tried to sell a story to the papers."
Fighting back tears he added "I appeal to the Editor who wants our story, whoever you are, Please, Please give us the money now!"
