I Abducted a Baby/ Confessions of a Sociopath

Michelle admits that three years ago, she faked a pregnancy and stole a baby in a scheme that landed her in jail, charged with abduction of a child under 14. What drove her to commit such a crime? After serving two-and-a-half years behind bars, the 27-year-old speaks out exclusively to Dr. Phil. Michelle claims that she was just borrowing the baby — who was not harmed — and she feels that because she always intended to return the child, her punishment was excessive. Can Dr. Phil help her grasp the gravity of her actions? Then, “M.E.” says she’s proud to be a sociopath and recently wrote a book to give the world a closer look inside the minds of people like her. She says she doesn’t have a conscience, seeks to gain power at any cost and that her favorite pastime is “ruining people.” Does M.E. really display the traits of a sociopath? Hear what Dr. Phil thinks.
