It was the moment that summed up the whirlwind of confused emotions that must have filled the breast of 18-year-old Kamiyah Mobley.

Less than 24 hours after discovering that she had been abducted at birth from a Florida hospital, Kamiyah found herself in a South Carolina courtroom staring across at the women who – until very recently - she had no reason to doubt was her biological mother.

That woman, 51-year-old Gloria Williams, was now sitting in the dock behind a protective screen facing charges of kidnapping Kamiyah when she was just eight hours old – turned overnight from a mother to a kidnapper.
