Yeah, according to the wikipedia article, they were dubious, but just rolled with it, apparently, maybe out of desperation and wishful thinking. I have a bit of face blindness myself, but I would like to think I would remember my own kid if I had one. Even the real mother of the kid made some kind of show of not being sure from the way it reads. That is what made me think all these people were loonies. Both mothers stripped down the kid and looked for scars and moles like they couldn’t tell by looking at him.
