Wood had even posed for a photograph with his 2-year-old daughter for a story in the local newspaper about how their Christmas was ruined. But Wood was assailed by guilt over the newspaper's charity appeal on his behalf and he was prompted to come clean.
"I'm so sorry. I'm ashamed of what I've done,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Wood -- who was fined for wasting the police's time -- told authorities. "I did it because I thought people might donate Christmas presents,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I would get some more for Abbey.

I'm just so sorry."
