Wow!

Just finished reading about a Michigan mother who faked her little boy's cancer so that she could collect gifts and donations in regard to his treatment. Allegedly.

The woman went so far as to shave the 12-year-old's head, and feed him opiates so that he'd feel lethargic. She was nice enough to let him play with the X-Box that someone gave him because they felt sorry for all he was going through.

Just shocking, isn't it?

There are so many warped stories and a woman like this attacks all sensibilities, doesn't she? How much money would it take to make you act in such a manner?

Thankfully, the kid was removed from the woman's home, but you know what she supposedly told the people who knew her?

Yeah, she explained that the child died and that she needed more donations so that she could pay for his funeral and burial!

I don't know exactly how you get a straight ticket to hell, but that is certainly a good start.

A few years ago I read about a guy who did the same sort of thing so that he and his child could hang around with professional athletes. Steve Yzerman of the Red Wings flew this father and son team all around the country, and showered them with gifts.

Man, those of us with kids can't even fathom thinking about such a scenario. Those of us who've had sick children know the helpless feeling of being out of the control loop.

To allegedly prey on your own children.

Wow!

Just Wow!
