A mother has admitted tricking her neighbours and family into believing that her daughter had cancer in order to raise money, according to police in the US state of Ohio.
Teresa Milbrandt even gave the seven-year-old sleeping pills and then shaved her head to simulate the side-effects of chemotherapy, officers said.

Her efforts resulted in donations of more than $10,000 from businesses and residents in the town of Urbana, the police estimated.............

Great idea for you here folks.

Ha...I got it, as punishment she should have to undergo chemo and radiation therapy...at her expense....that'll teach her.

Its disgusting what someone would do for a quick buck. Here's a thought - go out and get a job. There's no shame in earning a living 9_9
