A couple have been charged over allegedly faking a pregnancy and baby death to scam money and gifts from unsuspecting public. 9News

The couple claimed Easton Walt Lang was born July 3 and died hours later of respiratory distress syndrome, according to a criminal complaint.

Dilascio told CNN Friday she had her suspicions about Kaycee Lang's pregnancy along the way, saying she wasn't really showing but didn't think more of it. Police checked with the coroner's office in Somerset and Cambria County and neither had records of an Easton Lang, according to the complaint. "This is pretty despicable," Limani said. "You're not doing it to strangers, you're doing it to people who care about you."The couple allegedly set up a Go Fund Me page to get money to pay for the child's funeral.

'It feels unjust': As a same-sex couple, Kate and Ange were deemed 'socially infertile'Kate and Ange are expecting their first baby after two years of IVF treatment, but they say it was hard navigating a system set up for heterosexual couples. Wishing you both all the very best and a fantastic future to you and your child. Who would have thought that artificial conception be set up for a man and a woman? It should also support the needs of gay men as well as gay women. And hopefully one day trans children. Because if you are mature enough to choose your gender surely you can have a baby. Sweet, so why not just have baby making factories. Should this not also apply to single people who want children, or why not single men? I want the government to pay for surrogacy because I don't have a womb and that discrimination. The cost of life is different for everyone.
