Despicable

[Stavro]

Anyone read about this mother who took her five year old wheel-chair bound son to have breakfast with the Blairs? Appeared on GMTV and would tell anyone who would listen that her son had cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, a throat disorder and was allergic to nearly all food. Local charities raised thousands The little boy had unnecessary surgery to fit a feeding tube directly into his stomach when he was only four years old. She faked qualifications to get a job as a nurse. Meanwhile she was spending 200,000 in benefits on holidays, DIY and a European cruise to boot! The truth? Her little son was in perfect physical health. How she managed to deceive everyone including doctors is beyond belief!

If thats right I feel really sorry for the kid.

Lets hope she gets life in prison and the kid gets rehomed!

How did she get a 4 yr old to give the symptoms of cerebral palsy to doctors?

Dunno the story, sounds like munchausen by proxy.

Cerebral Palsy & Cystic Fibrosis, fooled all Doctors and received £200,000 in Benefits, you must have read this in the "Weekly World News"

She managed to bamboozle doctors, even although they could find no symptoms. She kept insisting that there was something wrong with her son.

Why do you think that GPs are not fooled by benefits fraudsters? Please explain.

The link I gave before has constantly changing headlines, which is why you probably did not see the story. So here's another link for you -

Thats terrible how someone could do that to their child there are plenty of poor folk out there who,s children are critically ill and have some kind of condition that affects their entire life and only wish that their child was in perfect health !!!! grrrrrrrrr boils my blood what a twisted sick excuse for a human being should be put to jail for life as she,s destroyed her kids already !!!!

Another cow who should be thrown in a cesspit.

I read about that a few days to a week ago. The boy managed to keep it up because she made him think he was ill so it was all psychological (sp).

I thought the story was awful. How could a mother do that to her son and fool everybody! All for money!

This vile woman is probably a remorseless sociopath without a conscience. She would most likely be crafty enough to blend into good society, whilst giving a false impression that she was a wonderful, protector and carer for her unfortunate son.

You made a very valid point about many parents who are experiencing the heartache about their genuinely ill children.

I googled that,it seems that offenders are more than likely to have been emotionally and physically abused themselves.It seems what goes around keeps coming back around in those situations.....Very sad.
