A Florida woman, who said that two black men abducted her son, actually drowned the boy herself, according to ABC News.
Patricia Ripley reportedly told police that two black men abducted her son last week but the police found inconsistencies in her story and discovered she actually killed her son.
A surveillance video shows the mother initially shoving her 9-year-old, autistic son, Alejandro Ripley, into a canal in an attempt to kill him.
Although Alejandro, who suffered from severe autism and could not speak, was killed by his own mother, the public was enraged that his mother filed a bogus report with Miami-Dade Police that two black men kidnapped the boy.
According to a Miami-Dade County police report, Ripley allegedly told police that while she was driving with her son on Thursday evening, she was ambushed by two black men, one armed with a knife, who demanded drugs.
