This is the location of whatever Emma’s criminal activity was at 17.
Really? Is that in that article about her or what? I’d have thought it must’ve happened in Arizona as Henry was born in Phoenix and he was born in jail, so Emma was in jail in Phoenix.
Yes, it’s mentioned in the article ‘Ex-Jailbird gives birth…’
hjbau transcribed this in the Front Page Forum:
Records show that when she was merely a girl of seventeen, Emma Swan found herself, ironically, on the wrong side of the law. She was visiting friends of her foster parents in the town of Worcester, Massachusetts, it would prove to be a trip that would earn her a juvenile criminal record.
I’m wondering if whatever happened to Emma in Worcester sent her running. As cliche as a pregnant teenage runaway might be, it does seem to fit her character so far. Maybe towards the end of her pregnancy, she realizes she isn’t capable of raising a kid in her current lifestyle and she surrendered in Phoenix. If she was about to give birth, they wouldn’t be able to send her back to MASS. to await trial or serve a sentence yet. So, Henry is then born in Phoenix (only to return to New England…….) and Emma decides it’s time to grow up/change and rises from the ashes a Swan?
