Teenage and twentysomething girls and boys planning kidnapping hoaxes, can I have a moment of your time? Stop making up abduction stories. Just don't. In the last two weeks, we've had at least three kidnapping hoaxes. Three. And it's really becoming tiresome.

First,  20-year-old Gabriella Birelas -- a mother of two children -- claimed she was kidnapped by three Hispanic men from her home in the

500 block of Westview Drive on May 12. Never happened, police say.

Then a girl claimed

her 14-year-old sister had been abducted by men into a gold-colored

Ford ESP in the 1600 block of North 59th Terrace in Kansas City,

Kansas, on May 18. It was another hoax.

Finally (and I will

assure you, not for the last time), a 15-year-old student at Van Horn

High School claimed

that a man tried to abduct her but she escaped. She even gave

suspect info. Just another hoax.

So attention-starved girls (and

boys), can we please cut the shit? It's annoying. Thank you.
