A mother from Gloucestershire who pretended her son had cancer in order to claim benefits has been warned she faces jail. The Stroud woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, kept up the pretence for three years while the boy was aged between four and seven, a court heard. She shaved his hair and eyebrows to look like the effects of chemotherapy and claimed about £50,000 in benefits.
The crime in its self is disgraceful but portending that your flesh and blood as got cancer is mind numbing. What goes through peoples minds?
