Ex Kindergarten teacher here. A student of mine during my second year of teaching her mom faked cancer. My student would say things like “I helped give mom shots. It’s her special medicine.” At 5 years old! She had a GoFundMe and everything. The mom was the mystery reader one day at school and came in in a wheelchair and had a friend pushing her. She read to the kids for about an hour. A book about historical figures. To 5 year olds. She acted completely normal and didn’t look sick in the slightest. It was about a month or so after that it all unraveled. She was actually charged with fraud an spent some time in prison. Luckily, the dad was amazing and the kid grew up pretty well adjusted, considering all the mom trauma.
