It is a standard defense for women who engage in such misconduct -- despite their capabilities and empowerment -- that they have emotional problems, or just didn't know what they were doing. As capable and empowered adults, of course, they need to be held fully accountable for their actions.
HERE IS THE NEWS STORY:
Second false report by woman.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A woman who reported her baby missing is accused of orchestrating the disappearance, which triggered Alaska's first fully initiated Amber Alert.
Elisa LaCroix, 20, is charged with making a false abduction report. In January, she was charged with falsely accusing an ex-boyfriend of raping her close to her due date.
LaCroix was out on bail on the earlier case when she was arrested Sunday after 3-week-old Ethan LaCroix was found unharmed at Fort Richardson in the custody of Amelia Cameron.
No charges are planned against Cameron, who told police she didn't know her friend would file a false report.
LaCroix claimed she put Ethan in his crib near an unlocked window Saturday night, but police Lt. Dave Parker said she actually handed him to Cameron through the window.
Ethan's father, Kaid LaCroix, checked on the baby an hour later and discovered he was gone.
The couple are divorcing and Elisa LaCroix feared her estranged husband — a soldier based at Fort Richardson — would take the baby before his pending deployment, Parker said.
Army Lt. Col. Jonathan Allen said Kaid LaCroix is among soldiers from the Anchorage-area post being sent to Afghanistan in current deployments.
Parker said LaCroix intended to hide her son with her friend until her husband's deployment.
"The estranged husband was the reason she was doing all this scheming and hiding this child, so he could never have been let in on it," Parker said.
Elisa LaCroix was terrified her husband would follow through with threats to take away Ethan and that she would never see the baby again, said her attorney, Rex Butler. He said his client has been on house arrest, wearing an ankle monitor, and wanted to put her child in a safe environment until her husband left the state.
"This was an act of desperation by a mother who knows she's already in trouble," Butler said.
"She's young and under lots of pressure right now and, quite frankly, made some mental errors in judgment. This was not a malicious act."
There is no telephone listing for Kaid LaCroix in the Anchorage area.
Elisa LaCroix reported the purported disappearance as an abduction and implicated the ex-boyfriend, Cole Rothacher, as a suspect. She also had named him in the false rape report, Parker said.
In that case, LaCroix accused Rothacher of beating her and raping her at knifepoint, then "staging the scene," according to Parker. Rothacher — also a Fort Richardson soldier heading to Afghanistan — was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence sexual assault, but was ultimately exonerated by the police investigation.
LaCroix is charged with making a false police report and tampering with evidence in that case.
She has pleaded not guilty but has not yet been scheduled for trial, Butler said.
Police interviewed Rothacher in the false abduction case and determined he was not involved in that either, Parker said.
LaCroix also is charged with violating conditions of release and is being held at the Anchorage jail on $2,000 bail. Butler said his client will plead not guilty to the new charges.
Parker said the false-abduction case prompted the first full Amber Alert in Alaska. Another case was initiated last year but was canceled soon after when the child was found.

Women and girls who make false rape accusations, are the same girls who understand absolutely no moral/legal boundaries.
These are the same women who would kill their child; again because they know absolutely no boundaries, and the "hysterical males" that dominate our legal system just cannot get the courage to start giving them boundaries.
The problem is that women and their attorneys are able to play on these hackneyed stereotypes of women being weak, emotional, but basically virtuous in order to mitigate blatant wrongdoing. To fully empower women, they need to be treated exactly as men are treated -- without regard for their emotional states.
Archivist, you should put all these articles together, along with you're further commentary, for a book.
You may have to publish it you're self though, but i would definitely by a printed copy of this information.
Thanks, Scott. We are definitely thinking along those lines. We really need to get this issue into mainstream discourse.
scott,
Along those lines, I have been compiling a database of these incidents, which hopefully will be available in the near future online. That would tie in nicely to a book. Great suggestion. Thanks.
For something that gender feminists insist never, ever, ever happens..it sure doesn't seem like you guys are lacking any real life false rape accusation stories!!
Scott, Wolfboy has enough in the hopper to take us into the middle of April. I can't keep up with him.
But you are correct -- these stories are extremely common. And remember, the ones that are actually reported are the rare ones. Remember the candid story we ran about the police officer a few weeks ago -- these are an epidemic. Most are dropped very quickly. The ones that stick for a time sometimes end up in the news.
I think a book is a very good idea.
Scott, I think you should have you would be able to have a full account of your ordeal included in the book. Let people "hear" the words of someone who is a victim of a false rape accusation. I think Crystal Mangrum has a book out. If you do not remember her,she was the girl who made false rape accusation against the Duke lacrosse players.
" have you would " sorry a typo.
I hope you get the point though
"I have been compiling a database of these incidents, which hopefully will be available in the near future online"
As I've mentioned before, another thing needed is a "false accuser" database similar to the "child predator" one. It should probably not be allowed as much visibility (ease of access) though.
If the government and other powers ever get it in their heads what is the true information surrounding all the rape issues (not just the stats but the science), it seems like someone could come up with an effective database of this type.
I am beginning to doubt that the right environment for such a thing to happen, will come about in my lifetime. Leave alone a database itself.

Norm, I have been working on one, and am starting it with information from this site. For those who aren't aware, I am E. Steven Berkimer, one of the contributors on this site, and you will see post as either wolfboy69 or The Archivist.
It would be nice if we could begin to receive information from those who stop by here to submit any stories (especially those that don't make the news), so that we may compile a more complete list.
And I don't trust the government to compile and keep an accurate list. They don't have a track record for handling that type of thing well.
Granted, a database on this site (hopefully in the next 2-3 months), isn't going to cover everything, but it is a start.
