A mother has described the terrifying moment a teenage girl tried to kidnap her baby by setting up a fake Facebook page and posing as a social worker.

Shantel Ullah revealed how she handed over her newborn son to the smartly dressed teen who called at her house and said she needed to take him for health check before realising something was wrong.

She snatched him back before calling social services who told her to call the police.

The girl and an accomplice appeared at Derby Youth Court last week where they admitted conspiring to kidnap babies, named as S, W and U, between September 14 and 23 last year

They lured mothers into their plot by setting up a bogus Facebook page offering free baby clothes and competition prizes.

Derbyshire Police said the offer of free baby clothes was a ruse to obtain mothers' addresses and contact details.

Ms Ullah, 20, described how one of the girls arrived at her house in Normanton, Derbyshire.

“She was dressed very professionally in black trousers, high heels, and a black patterned blouse, and was carrying a designer handbag,” she told The Sun.

“She said I’d signed a form when I was pregnant to say she could take Dontae away for half an hour for a medical check.
