Who does that –  make his son believe he had cancer? A Colorado mother has been sentenced to 90 days of work release and five years probation on fraud and child abuse charges, for convincing those around her, including her 6-year-old son, that he had cancer.

She was said to have made over $200,000 in donation from school, friends and family. For two years, she had been going about fooling everyone and getting thousands of dollars donations to support her dying son who was actually healthy.
