Groovepusher Sly Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 I think thats about as trifling as you can get, using an illness and your child to take advantage of the public to make money. :mad: Sly :cool: Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky!
george costanza Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Let's not pretend that it hasn't happened before...lots of charities (even legit ones) are skimmed by the companies that solicit funds in their name...then there are those that may be complete fakes (it's 3am, you're watching TV & here's little Pablo somewhere in the Phillipines---only pennies a day may buy him breakfast for a month...does he get the money? Who knows!).
pauldil Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 The really sick part of this story is that the mother gave the 7 year-old girl pills to make her sick. The daughter thought she actually had cancer.

Really frightening.
Bunny Knutson Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 [b]MSBP[/b] (Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy) is one of the saddest psychiatric problems I've ever heard of.

patrick_dont_fret Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 dBunny, wow. That's amazing. That's almost too much to handle. I mean, how could anyone do that to their child? Especially the mother...the one person that's supposed to protect the child from illness at all times. I can't believe that. Geez...the horror.
Bunny Knutson Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Yeah, it's pretty horrendous, huh, Patrick. I just can't even imagine the sickness it would take to do that to your own child, or ANY friggin' child for that matter! As a father, it wrenches my gut to even [i]think[/i] about something like that. Ugh. :cry: https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/
whitefang Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 I know what you all mean. It was hard enough on me when I had to discipline my kids, no matter HOW much their behavior begged for it. And don't get me started on my reaction to whenever they got hurt while playing. My wife, during her first two marriages, tried in vain to have children, and the removal of a tumor left her unable to eventually. She gets livid whenever she hears about these monsters! Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!
patrick_dont_fret Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 I just can't imagine ever doing something like that to anyone. Not even an adult, not even if I really had it in for them. My God, what kind of monster does it take? These people need help, really. Psychiatric evaluations, then sent to prison, in solitary confinement. That's it.
