One way to hell, and a pinapple shoved up the rear for good measure.

Today, I had the day off. (I know I couldn't believe it myself) So around 6:00 I sat down to watch one of the 24 hour news channels. Boy was I supprised when a story came on one of the programs that recounted a story something like this.
Police in Florida just concluded a year long investigation into several instances of fraud against the two charities "Give Kids the World" and "Childrens Wish"
Apparently the whole thing started when a Tennessee woman bought a used Access Pass online. The woman attempted to complete her story by also buying several counter fit buttons from a local business owner online. Once in Orlando the woman attempted to gain entrence to the GKTW Village. Her plan was going well until she was about to leave. I seems that while playing with another child, her seven year old son let it slip that he was not really sick. From there the police were called and the woman was arrested.
When interviewed later she showed no remorse for what she did and further stated that she wasn't doing anything wrong. The police decided to investigate what had been going on and at latest (or so the report said) they had made several arrests.
My question is why would someone take advantage of these very much needed charities. What urks me even more was that apparently the charity was orignally going to let her go, but when she was told quietly to leave, she made a big deal about it.
