A 36-year-old Australian woman has been charged with deliberate criminal damage, among other things, after desecrating many public places by graffiti to Chris, the alleged father of her unborn child.
The vandalism took place between July 29 and 30, when graffiti began in recreational areas around Frankston. Writing urges a person named Chris to "call before the baby is born." Disoriented residents began posting pictures of the bizarre message on the Facebook page, which soon spread, and writings were seen in various public places, including public toilets, barbecues, footpaths and walls, and prompted users to ask Chris to contact The author before it is too late.
"Chris, can you call her before you ruin the whole city?" One of the writers wrote on the Internet. The incident drew the attention of more than 25,000 commentators. Frankston Mayor Michael O'Reilly said local authorities were aware of the message on the walls. "They acted quickly to remove the paint, but they wanted people to think more constructively and within the limits of the law to communicate in the future," he said.
On August 1, Victoria Police announced that they had charged a 36-year-old woman with graffiti. She is accused of causing deliberate damage, through graffiti, as well as committing a crime on bail, and will have to appear before the Frankston Court on December 13. Unfortunately, we still don't know whether Chris called or whether the defendant had a baby.
