A court in Beijing sentenced a woman to three years in prison for kidnapping her neighbor's 9-month-old son in May.

The neighbor had asked Zhao, 28, to watch the infant while she was away for a few hours on May 22.

Zhao took the baby and fled town. She was arrested from a hostel in Anyang, Henan province, weeks later.

Zhao said she had no motives of making a profit from kidnapping the baby. "I did it because I thought it would be fun," she said in court.
