$18,000 for sick toddler 'stolen' - Polidicks

[img]http://ninemsn.com.au/img/2011/news/0507_alyssa_nh_9.jpg[/img] Just [b]LOOK[/b] at that face! How could anyone have the balls to do this? :crying: [quote]A Sydney family trying to raise money for their daughter who suffers leukemia is devastated after $18,000 raised at a charity dinner was allegedly stolen by the organiser. The parents of 21-month-old Alyssa Miller contacted police seven weeks ago after failing to receive the funds from the benefit night, which was held in Campbelltown, in Sydney's south-west, last November. Police have charged a 36-year-old woman from Bradbury with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and she is due to appear in Campbelltown court on August 10. Alyssa's mother Amanda told Nine News she was touched when the woman offered to organise a dinner to raise money for their daughter. "I just thought, 'Wow this is excellent, I'm not going to lose everything'," Mrs Miller said. "My daughter's fighting for her life, [but] I'm going to keep the house." Father Scott Miller said they were shocked when the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, never handed over the money. "How can somebody have no heart … she's only a baby," he said. Mrs Miller said she and her husband were having to ask for financial help all over again. The Miller family is currently relying on charity from the Leukemia Foundation to pay for their daughter's medical bills and help them out with essentials such as food.[/quote] Source: [url]http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8269386/18000-for-sick-toddler-stolen[/url] That's low, even for my standards.

Because of some greedy bastard who thought it would be worth ruining the life of a few people would be worth 18,000 dollars, a innocent child is going to die because of their selfish actions.

Wow, what a fucking asshole. Because of whoever took the money, that kid's gonna die.

Man you all are downers, I have faith in the kid.

I can't justify taking any money from [I]any[/I] charity, let alone one for a sick little girl. Greedy bitch. :colbert:

A similar event to this happened with one of my mother's friends last year. Her son (Tommy) required a head aparatus to help him live, after raising the money one of the organizers took it all and ran. Tommy died not too long after. People who can steal others hospitality and care from people who require it should be made to suffer a slow and agonizing death. [editline]5th July 2011[/editline] Also, where's the donate button? I'd love to transfer over some of my savings to help the kid.

[QUOTE=Sift;30911449]Man you all are downers, I have faith in the kid.[/QUOTE] I don't care about the kid, I care that some people think they can help someone in need of money, help them, then run off with the money they made.

Doesn't Australia have Free Healthcare? I was sure it did.

"Who cannot be named for legal reasons" I'd say it's more for safety reasons, I think anyone with good sense would kick her in if they got the chance.

this is the most awful thing i've ever heard

[QUOTE=shakadamus;30911884]"Who cannot be named for legal reasons" I'd say it's more for safety reasons, I think anyone with good sense would kick her in if they got the chance.[/QUOTE] I wonder why, also. If there's a criminal on the loose who essentially [I]stole money that would have saved a baby[/I], wouldn't it make more sense to plaster its face and name all over the country? If that was my kid, I'd place a fucking dead-or-alive bounty on your head, bitch.

That is real fucking low.

What a dickwad

And it's a woman, too.

Not many things justify this, but this guy needs to be ganged up om 1930's style. I want to see a large group of burly Italians deal with the man.

I can't go into the news section anymore I read stuff like this and, just no.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;30911769]Doesn't Australia have Free Healthcare? I was sure it did.[/QUOTE] Even if it did. I'm pretty sure its limited. Also, what a dick. I hope whoever ran off faces a similar problem and nobody comes to help them.

Why don't they just take the money back from her? Or if the bitch spent it already put her $18000 in debt and give that to the family.

What a fucking bitch.

Cue Farnsworth "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."

Hm.. My name is Scott Miller.. We must be brothers. and to the above [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35TbGjt-weA&feature=channel_video_title[/media]

Well they're going to Hell.

Some girl I went out with when I was 13 died of Leukemia a few weeks ago, it's a horrible way to die. Needless to say it's sickening that some people would do this.

What a fucking cunt.

Wow, my deepest condolences to the family for what that bitch did.

I would drive over to Sydney and offer them every bit of money i could spare. Unfortunately i dont have much money to spare, and i dont have a license :( I hope that bitch that stole the money fucking rots in a jail, the fucking slut. And how can anyone rate this funny?

[QUOTE=Araknid;30931185]And how can anyone rate this funny?[/QUOTE] Force of habit. I rate most In the News topics funny as a reflex.

"who cannot be named for legal reasons" and why the fuck not? let her name be known to the public so she may suffer for the rest of her life

Probably can't be named because it's an ongoing investigation, and declaring her as guilty for stealing the cash would be libel. After all it would also be a tragedy to ruin someone's life over something a crime they may have not committed.

This is just cartoonishly evil. Also I think I found a picture of the suspect. [img]http://stroppsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/dick-dastardly.jpg[/img]
