Oh WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess we all have to be careful even in here. You have to hope that in actions were to help her child. If it was her child.It really makes you think twice about helping someone *****ally does need it.
Thanks for posting this article.. I would have known about it otherwise..

Speaking of bad fish ...
This story just had to break at about the same time we learned on our state forum that one of our long-time regs, a single mom w. young kids at home, who was supposedly suffering from terminal cancer for quite awhile and undergoing strong chemo for it in fact is doing neither ... It has upset many of the members on our board, who feel betrayed, angry, etc. quite understandably . ..
Many of them had visited her in her home and her in theirs .. I also met her at a recent local OH event. The difference in this case vs. the other gal is that I wonder if our gal really had herself believing she had the medical condittion
, as it wasn't a money scam at all .. I have heard of a psychological disorder where people do things like that for attention (can't remember what it is called). Fortunately, through the assistance of some of our caring fellow board members, she is now getting the help that she needs ..
So, it just goes to show you can't ever take them at fish, errr, face value ..
