CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WWBT) - A woman who was found guilty of kidnapping a 3-month-old baby is due in court for a pre-sentencing hearing.

Tykirah Reid admitted to creating a fake social media profile to get a babysitting job with the baby’s family.

Back in February, she took 3-month-old Jiraiya Cherry from Newport News and brought him to Chesterfield. The 3-month-old’s abduction prompted an Amber Alert.
