I was shocked when I read this news headline. I cannot believe that someone would sink so low just to have bigger breasts. I feel sorry for her to an extent because her self-esteem must be extremely low for her to go to all that trouble for bigger breasts. However, I definitely think that she should be punished. I think her breast implants should be removed, she should have to do community service in the community that raised money for her, and she should have to donate the same amount of money she received to a breast cancer charity or an organization such as Relay for Life. It's unfortunate that people do things like this, but it does not stop me from giving to charities or people in need. The way I see it, I'm doing the good and right thing by giving. If the people or organizations to which I give do dishonest things with my money, then they're the ones who have to live with themselves, and they'll have to answer for it one day.
I think that this video is kind of funny. The woman was wrong for what she did. In my opinion the woman should be punished. The woman stole people’s money by lying and saying she had breast cancer. She received donations for implants and didn’t really have cancer. Personally I think the woman should be punished for the dishonest donations. The woman should have to pay back the money that she took from people. This still does not make me think twice about donating money, because I know if I am donating money I am doing a good thing.

Things like that happen all the time that's why I don't give charity to anyone unless I know exactly what it's going to. She should be required to pay the money back and go to jail for the scam. period.
I think that is a waist of time and effort. She should be punished. Her punishment should be the removal of the implant and the return of the money. Yes it does.

I was really shocked that she would do that. I really think she should be punished because she took from those people who were willing to help her out. I think she should raise money and pay back all those peI was really shocked that she would do that. I really think she should be punished because she took from those people who were willing to help her out. I think she should raise money and pay back all those people who donated to her. These stories do not change my mind about donating because I still want to help them out if I can. Those people who really have cancer need it and I'm willing to give money to help them.

I can't believe that someone would do this. She should definitely be punished. I think the judge should make give all the money back to the people who donated. Her actions will discourage others from donating to people. Now when I donate money, I will question where it is really going.

This story is very shocking. It's very hard to believe that someone would stoop that low. She should definitely be punished. Is a boob job that important? This makes this woman look like a sick individual. This is the first story I have ever heard of using donations in a different way. However, hearing this it does make me think twice about donating.
-Taylor Gay :)
I though this was a very selfish act. Alot of people actually go through this in life and stuggle to find money for their operation. My grandmother had brest cancer so I no what it likie for someone to really go through this. I defintily think that she should get punished and pay back all the money. Stories as this one do make me think twice before I donate money to just anyone.-AliaH.
I do not think that people should get breast implants. Yes I think she should be punished, because she took money from people. I mean people do always need help, so I will continue to donate money. If people use the money for illegal use, it will come back on them. Hakeem-dont post
Yes I do believe she should be punished because she is using other people money sayig she has something so bad that she has alot of people to feel sorry for her. People take cancer very seriously and to joke around about is horrible. I think her punishment should be having to pay back all the money she got. No because their is alot of people that are needed and people like this lady ruin ti for them to get things.

This video was weird and crazy at the same time. Yes, this lady should be punished for what she did. A lot of people gave from their heart to support what they thought was a worthy cause. People are going to do stuff like what happened in this story all the time but it will not stop me from donating money to people. I believe that when I donate money to people I am doing it for a worthy cause and it's their problem if they wanna do something else with the money. I did my part.

I think it is redicoulus that someone would sink so low. She basically robbed the people that tried to help her. She should be punished, she faked a disease that kills people in order to make her self happy. She is very selfish. People like this are the reason I don't donate except to CHKD. Why would you want to go through the trouble to set everything up, shave your head, and know there is a possibility you will get caught. This storie just shows how ignorant people can be.
-Brooklynne
I think it's very messed up. She should be punished and find away to repay what she received. I think there should be jail time if nothing else. If I was donating I generally wouldn't stop to think that it is fake, that someone would go so low to not just lie to everyone but to spend the money on something that doesn't matter at all. She wasn't doing anything for her family or someone else she was trying to make her self happy.

I think the scam was wrong. I think she was wrong for doing what she did.I do think she should be punished for what she did. The implants should be removed and she should give back all of the money she stole back to the people, or to a charity. I have never donated to people in my life. I often see homeless people who say they are homeless. My Dad and I alwayse tell my mom never to pull over for a homeless man who needs a ride. Because, they might not be homeless. At least that's what my Dad says.
I'm disgusted by what this women did. I can't believe that someone actually would scam people for money to get a boob job! Obviously I think that she should be punished for what she did. I definitely think that I really will think twice before I donate money to someone in need. It's sad to think that we have to do that, but there are many people that do the same thing.
Mallory
I was very shocked when I heard about this news story. I believe that the lady should be punished for her actions. I definitely feel as they should remove the breast implants. It is just hard to believe someone would do something like this. This would not make me reconsider when I donate money to people who are in need.
-Bryce L.
I can't believe that the woman in the video would do something like that. It's terrible that someone would want something so bad that they would use people's money like that. There is so many people in the world that actually need help. She was just taking away from money that could of been raised for them. I think that the woman should be punished, she should at least have to pay back all the money that she took. I would still donate money to people who say they are in need, because a lot of people in the world actually are.

Well before I watched the video I read the title of the blog and I said that the woman was pretending that she has breast cancer so people can raise money for her but she used that money to get breast implants. After watching the video I was correct about the topic. My reaction to the video is like why in the world would you lie about having breast cancer so people can raise money for you then you use that money for something else. That was just wrong of what she did. She should be punished for scamming people like that. Her punishment should be I’ll say like a year in jail and do some couple of hours of community service. Stories like this make me think twice about giving money to people or organizations because you think that the money that you are giving is going to good use but really it’s going to people that want to get fast and easy money to buy whatever they want.
Ja'Lisa Hicks, don't post it
I think that she should have gave somebody else that money who have cancer why did she do that for because If she cut her hair and went to get help with cancer I think that she was wrong for doing that at all. Maybe somebody else might needle some of that money too. So I think she should be punished for it for what she did what she did. why did she get breast Inplanen for I think that she was crazy for that. brittany eley
I feel sad for the people who for the people who gave from their heart to help this lady. I think she should be punished for what she did. She should give the money to the people who really need it. This story does not make me think twice to people who say they need it. It’s better to give than to receive. You can’t just give up on everybody because one person does you wrong.
Quatesha Harris
Who would do something like that, what about the people who really have breast cancer. They could have had all that money that was wated on her. She should be punished for fraud or something, because that is so wrong. I don't know if I would think twice or not. Now I would probably say I wouldn't, but when I'm there and I see the person in need I might give in to them.
Danielle C.
I feel that she was really wrong to what she did.I think she should be punished for everything she did.I think she she do community service, and give her breast back.Yes I really think twice of donating money to anything. It was very wrong of her
big time.
Jesmine Murphy
I don't really know what to say. It was really mean and disrespectful. Especially to the people who really have breast cancer. I think her punishment should be go to jail for about 1-2 weeks, then community service, and then have her breast removed and also repay some of the damage and stuff... Well it doesn't really change my mind for donating because I don't donate and I don't know if I ever will... This is a sad event...
-Craig St.
I think that that is crazy! Who would fake breast cancer. Like I think she is crazy to something so stupid. I think she should be punished. They should take her breasts away, make her pay back all the money, make her apologize publicly, make her do community service, and then make her donate money to a breast cancer fund. I've always thought that when you donate money to someone there is always a chance that its fake.

Caleb Stowe
That woman needs help.. and not boob help... even though she may need it... I don't know... and I don't want to know. She deserves to be punished. She should get them taken out AND pay the people back. I don't donate money to people anyway. Put in her jail while we're at it.. might as well go ahead an do that too right?
Chelsea Hedgepeth
That's ridiculous! She shouldn't have done that. If you're that desperate to get breast implants, learn how to budget your money. I mean, the next time someone wants to do a fundraiser for their breast cancer, probably not as many people are going to open up their hearts after seeing this. She should get her breasts removed. She doesn't deserve to have them after what she's done. No, I would never second guess myself when someone needs help. If someone scams me like that lady did to all of those people, then I'd probably think twice.
It didn't shock me because people do stuff like this everyday just not always with the cry of cancer. I think she should be punished and have to pay everybody back. I think that the punishment should be that she does community service and have house arrest. The stories like this does make me think twice before donating too charities. Most the time I only give money too charities that are well known. James St. Peter
This is crazy. This women should definitely be punished. She stole from all of them people, in a way. She acted like she was sick to take their money when the people thought they were helping. Her punishment should be to get her implants out and pay back all of the money herself. I do think twice about donating to people because of things like this, but I have to think that most of these people actually need it, so it's worth the risk.
Erica Owens
I was extremely shocked after watching this video. She should be punished because for the people out there that actually have breast cancer. Now people that have breast cancer and are trying to raise money for the actual surgery won't get any funds because no one will believe that they really have the disease after this. I think she should have to get her breast implants taking out and should have to pay the money back, also she should have to pay her own money for making people go through that. It really does make me think twice on donating money for a cause because my brother had 2 brain tumors and we did a fundraiser and now people wouldn't know if was true or not it really makes you realize that people in this world are truly cruel.
~Kayla R.
I was really shocked when I saw this video. I can't believe someone would do such a thing. I definitely think that she should be punished for her actions. They should let her do 1000 hours of community service, and she should pay the public back because what she did was wrong. Stories like this make me think twice about donating money because you never know if it's real or if it's a scam.

My reaction to this story was basically just shock because who would actually think to do that. Breast Cancer is not something to joke about because people actually die from the disease. She should be punished because that is wrong. I agree with you. I think her implants should be removed and she should have to work with Breast Cancer victims in a hospital so she would understand that it is a serious disease. This story does not make me think twice before donating money to people because some people really do need the money.

How someone who sinks so low is able to sleep at night amazes me. She fooled everyone in her community to raise money just for her own selfish desires. She should have to go to jail for life. Trying to fake all the pain and suffering women and their families go through is horrible. Hopefully some how she will be able to give back to try and make up for her horrendous actions.-Nick Powell╫ææ
I was shock when I heard this story. I had never heard about person that would pretend to have breast cancer just get to breast implants. I think she should be punished for what she did. She should pay back the money and take the implants out. Yes, it does make me want to think twice before donating money to people who say they're in need.

I thought that this woman was very wrong for what she did. Its wrong because the people gave her money and the economy isn’t all that great, so those people could have use their money for something else. It was also wrong because now the people that really need help to pay for cancer costs won’t be able to go to their community because no one will believe them. I do think that she should be punished I think that she needs to have the implants taken out, and pay the money that she got from the community to someone who actually has cancer. It is stories like this that make me question whether or not a person really needs money. I’ve seen many cases where a homeless person has a sign for money, but go and buy alcohol, and that messes it up for the people who are really homeless and do need financial help.
-Roielle <3
After watching this, I can't believe someone would really do this. I mean really why someone would go this far to do something like this. I definitely think she should be punished, what she did is a really big deal. I think she should most definitely have to get the implants removed because even if she does get in some trouble if she got to keep them then it would be like she won and got what she wanted. It does kind of make you think where your money really goes. Like people do fundraisers or ask for money or like the homeless and stuff and I do think it could make you think weather or not the money is really going where you intended.
-Amber Bass
I could not believe that someone would actually do something so low. With all the women in the world right now fighting Breast Cancer I just can't believe this woman would fake having such an awfull disease. I definately think that she should be punished they should take the implants out and make her pay the money back. This is a reason why I really don't donate because you really cant trust to where your money goes.
Brittany Posey
I think this is ridiculous. I think she should definitely be punished. It was pointless to do all that to buy boobs she obviously wanted them that bad. I think she should be punished by getting her boobs taken away from her. By law, the government doesn't have the right to do that, but I really wish they could. This makes me thinks three times about donating money to people in need of it. I like helping out, but at the same time, you never really know where your money is going to.
-Des(:
I was completely shocked after watching this video; she should feel so guilty. If I were the judge, I would make her suffer, because that money could have saved someone else life. So, I do not think that "punishment" is the word for it, she should have to give the money back, give her breast back, and make a public apologize to the people she stole from. I love to donate to those in need, but yes, these situations do make me think twice. She really needs to get help because that was insane!
