Detroit woman used cancer scam involving her 12-year-old son to make money!!

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.

Call girl counter-suing David Beckham

Well this is interesting. Radaronline reveals that the high-priced call girl who claims to have had romps with David Beckham is counter-suing him. According to her attorney, Nici experienced emotional and physical injuries after receiving Beckham's lawsuit at a New York hotel last week. The 26-year-old was apparently hounded by an unnamed person(s) until she couldn't take it anymore and left the hotel.

Radaronline published a comment from her attorney, Paul Rolf Jensen:

"She was immediately hospitalized as a direct result of this event," Jensen says. "Beckham is responsible for his goon's conduct, and we will hold him liable for it."

Jensen said that his client filed her suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday. As an explanation for the motion, Irma Nici's lawyer stated:

"California law does not allow public figures like David Beckham to stifle free speech," Jensen says. "Maybe he didn't live here in Los Angeles long enough to learn how precious we here consider our rights to tell the truth in print."

The soccer star originally filed a lawsuit against the publishing company for In Touch Weekly. Beckham is claiming slander and infliction of emotional distress as a result of the article, which detailed his rumored trysts with high-priced call girls, including Nici and a friend, back in 2007.

Hmm... now if I were Victoria Beckham, I would start doing the math and considering believing some of these stories. Should be a little hard to turn a blind eye when they keep accumulating over the years.
