This is the lowest of the lows... !!!
A Detroit-area woman was arraigned Friday on charges of fraud and child abuse, CBS News reported. Carol Lynn Schnuphase, 47, is accused of telling people that her 12-year-old son had leukemia in order to elicit thousands of dollars in charitable donations. In addition to using this deadly disease as a way to make money, reports say that the mother also changed her son's appearance in order to make the idea more plausible. This included shaving his head and eyebrows every other week.... and crushing up drugs to put in his food so that he would appear lethargic!!!!!!!!! YES. Seriously.
CBS News said that a hospital has tested the boy and found no cancer. Sadly, he is going through opiate withdrawal because of the drugs his mother was feeding him. Poor thing!!
This is even sicker though. After Carol Schnuphase's family members and relatives reported her to the police, authorities removed the boy from her home earlier this summer. She then told past donors that her son had died and that she needed money for his funeral and burial, according to Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith. As if it could get any worse!!! This lady has no bottom.
Deplorable.
