@Batman> I haven’t seen the ‘baby trick’ played in the U.S. but I saw it in Europe. I’m probably going to Hades for this one, but it was attempted on me this summer. I was walking down O’Connell Street in Dublin (the main drag) and a gypsy woman tried to push her child into my arms. I refused to accept it (I read Rick Steves’ books and know about this scam). She gave me a look like she couldn’t believe that I would let her drop her baby. She swore at me in some Eastern European language and moved on.
