'Britain's worst mum' is reportedly desperate for her seven children to forgive her after she staged her daughter's kidnapping.
Karen Matthews, who was dubbed Britain's worst mum in the tabloids, put on a teary-eyed display in front of TV cameras and pretended she knew nothing about her nine-year-old girl's abduction.
However, Shannon was later discovered under the bed of Matthews' boyfriend's uncle Michael Donovan in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
It turned out that Matthews and Donovan had plotted the kidnapping together in a bid to claim a £50,000 reward.
Police found that Shannon, whose now has a new identity, had been drugged.
Matthews, who also now has a new name, was jailed for eight years in 2008, however she was released early in 2012.
The Sun reports that she currently volunteers at a Christian charity shop in the south of England and is hoping to send letters to her children, begging for their forgiveness.
