As many of you close to me know, I am part of an on-line support group of care givers of kids with ALL - Madelyn's specific type of Leukemia. We all email information, questions, happenings, triumphs and disappointments. Back in January I posted that a 14 year old girl Leann, after a heroic battle, had passed away. I was so devastated for this family. I had been closely reading and following Leann's story for months.

Well, today I found out Leann and her mother Karen were a fake. This girl never existed. It was this woman's way of getting attention. It is a mental disorder called Munchausen By Internet.
I am speechless.
