PA mom made son dress as Scout, go begging

Oh yeah, this is going to make some therapist very rich years from now. A Pennsylvania mom was found guilty of making her son, age 7, dress like a Cub Scout and go around asking people to donate to his "camping trip." Mom is getting to take a little 23-month-long trip herself.

Hat Tip: Many thanks, Patty PV!

I wonder over what period of time this occurred and more importantly what kind of "fix" she needed. Poor kid, I hope he's with someone who wants him around for the right reason.

Okay, one more thing, where did she get the Scout clothes?

You can buy the scout clothes and the scout headquarters, just like you do if you are an actual scout - you don't have to be a scout to have the clothes. You can buy all the various patches and everything. They don't just give you all that stuff when your kid is a scout, you get the pleasure of buying it all...and it ain't cheap!

So, this woman spent money to get her child scout clothing, only to net $69? And time in jail? Priceless

I know people will say I'm a Scrooge, but I don't give money to any of the bell ringers or whatever for just this reason. How do you know where the money really goes?
which doesn't mean I don't give to charity, I do.

scout clothes are the most horrific outfits Ive ever seen.

When I see a kid in these I immediately thing "nerd"

when I see a man in these clothes I immediately think "pervert"
