scammy woman hoax baby...

"I lied and I am not trying to hide that, nor am I trying to minimize it," she claimed in a blog post, also e-mailed to ABC News. "Worse still, I lied to a community of people whose only intention was to support me through this time and that is wrong, and for that I am sorrier than you could know."

In painstaking detail and heartbreaking prose, the blogger, who claimed to be a young single mother, shared with the world the compelling story of carrying to term a baby she said she knew was going to die.

"

She was found out by:

The hoax was uncovered by the same women who read and commented on the site, littleoneapril.blogspot.com. Once-loyal readers became increasingly suspicious by a lack of information, constantly changing due dates and a planned home delivery.

But it was the photo of baby April Rose, posted for a moment and then taken down, that would unravel the intricate weeks-long lie.

See - this is why I don't give money to anybody/charities I don't personally know.

If there is any justice there will be charges filed. Sad.

Tough call on charges - she didn't take donations, she told them to send them to other places...

Not sure if she broke any laws...

Ball State Student Fakes Cancer

Posted on: Thursday, 23 October 2003, 06:00 CDT

A Ball State University student shaved her head and pretended to be deaf to convince people she had cancer and get them to give her money, prosecutors said.

Brookelyn Walters, 24, of Culver, is charged with forgery and theft and could get up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Her lawyer, Jay T. Hirschauer, said Walters has repaid the money and is cooperating with authorities.

Prosecutors allege Walters faked having cancer since 2000, forging letters from doctors and starting a Web site to raise donations to pay for treatment she didn't actually need.

It's unclear how much money Walters received. The two theft charges refer to $676 for services of an interpreter the university provided after Walters convinced officials she was deaf and $1,000 donated by Kappa Delta sorority and Delta Chi fraternity.

University officials grew suspicious after problems arose stemming from Walters' request for the interpreter, said Richard Harris, director of Ball State's disability services.

Walters left school in May when university police began investigating. She had completed classes toward a special education major and hopes to work with deaf children, Hirschauer said.
