Couple Force 13 Year Old To Fake Cancer To Collect Donations!!
Excerpt From Article:
Florida couple convinced a 13-year-old boy that he had fatal brain cancer and then used the fake illness to solicit donations for “medical expenses,” deputies allege.
The boy spent eight months believing he was going to die, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said.
The Fort Walton Beach couple have been charged with one count of child abuse and nine counts of fraud.
Robert Edward Long, 47, and his wife Ginny Irovando Long, 34, “set up a T-shirt fundraiser for the boy at his school last year and shared the bogus cancer diagnosis information on their Facebook accounts as well,” the sheriff’s office said.
