Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: What I think would be really cool is if we could buy his boy the prosthetic arms he needs. This way the money cant be squandered by an opportunist. 100k would be a BIG fund raiser though.. Lots to think about. Could Arfcom raise that much cash? The newspaper story about that was from 2007. He may already have prosthetic arms. I don't think so. He has pics of his boy in his facebook and he isnt wearing any prosthesis. According to a Des Moines news from this spring the boy, who is now 14 outgrew, the old prosthesis and is now trying to get new ones. The child receives either Medicaid or Medicare benefits so they should be covered. The story explains that they raised only $9000 last time that the family used to cover expenses associated with travel and staying in Minnesota. once again the shriners would caover that 100% including travel and accommodation in most cases. Agreed, I was actually a little more intrigued that the ex-wife was fundraising again. Apparently, by parading the child outside of the Altoona, IA Walmart she earned $700 in one weekend.  |

Well, I'd wager that every drop of info needed to alert his probation officer is in that picture. From what I can tell, he's still on probation until December, too, so a single email could probably teach this guy a painful lesson in not trying to scam arfcom. (I think that email should be sent by staff, if sent at all, though......the fact that penguin is posting that picture here tells me that someone's gonna have a bad, bad visit with their probation officer tomorrow.  )
