every friday, i'm retelling a different fairy tale the way it would be told on your nightly news.

today's fairy tale may be the fairest of them all, but if it happened in real life, you can bet the story would be downright ugly!

A woman is behind bars tonight, accused of hiring a hit man to kill her own stepdaughter!
It's just the latest nightmare in a string of tragic events for the teenage victim. Police say she is a runaway who had been living in a cramped apartment with seven men.
The girl is now hospitalized in a coma, but police do not believe her injuries have anything to do with the attempt on her life. Instead, they say she is recovering from what appears to be a near-fatal case of food poisoning.
Police were able to track down the suspected stepmother with the help of the hit man, who agreed to testify against the woman in exchange for immunity. Charges may also be filed against the seven men the girl was living with, as police say it appears they forced her to cook and clean for no pay.
