Speaking of Corky...

I've seen parents fake a kid's kidnapping, and I've seen where people fake a kid's death, but this might be the first time I've seen someone fake their kids' mental retardation. Yes, that kids is plural. This lady trained her children to pretend to be mentally retarded so that she could collect benefits on it. This isn't something that only lasted a short time, either. This went on for over 20 years. She was finally found out when her son went to contest a traffic ticket. She got three years in prison, and will have to pay $288k in restitution. Her son also got 13 months in the slammer for his role. There is also a daughter she did this with, but she can't be found. How screwed up is this? Whatever happened to just popping out more babies to get welfare; when did we turn to faking serious condiditons?
