Charges in 23-year-old kidnapping case

The woman who Carlina White says kidnapped her as a baby and then raised her in an abusive home is facing federal charges, ABC News reports.

White, who was reunited with her biological parents 23 years after being taken from a New York City hospital by a woman dressed as a nurse, says Ann Pettway raised her in Bridgeport, Conn.

White said that Pettway was abusive and that she always suspected the woman was not her mother.

Pettway contacted authorities over Facebook and turned herself in to the FBI.
