My feelings about this case will get me cursed out, so I'm just going to say *Chris Rock voice* "It's not right, but I understand," and leave.

why would you get that kind of reaction?

"My LJ note for you says, 'empathizes with a damaged person' so your opinion is not valid."

And it's usually from misunderstanding the original comment lol. Stay knee-jerky, ONTD.

I feel like everyone kind of feels this way? I mean, the mom was lying to everyone, taking advantage of the charity and generosity of others, and destroying her daughter's life and her health--both physical and emotional.
I think most people aware of this case totally understand why she did it.
