hey OTW good find. Wow it's hard to figure out what exactly to say about this one. I mean the internet it's self is full of hoaxes and people "playing make -believe" so I think it's a 50/50 chance when it comes to deciding on what your going to believe and what your not.
I believe the mom , must have had some serious free time on her hands anytime she can come up with such an ellaborate story.
I totally understand where people are mad, I mean they have every right to be mad
especially the people who sent money and gifts.
I think it's kinda sick that someone would take advantage of the kindness of others, and the fact that when people hear or see a sad story we do what we feel to help others.
Lastly the article, unless I read it wrong says it was orginally the daughters email account, so what kind of example is the mom setting for the daughter. I think thats surely showing her true deceit.
