Ohio Mother Arrested For Faking Daughter’s Cancer To Get Donations

An Ohio mother was arrested for fraudulently collecting thousands of dollars by falsely claiming her young daughter was battling cancer.

Pamela Reed is accused of deceiving her friends and family over an extended period regarding the well-being of her 7-year-old daughter. She allegedly portrayed the child online as visually impaired and chronically ill. Reed also fabricated various medical conditions, such as acute myeloid leukemia and frequent seizures. Authorities claim Reed even confessed to shaving her daughter’s head as part of the scheme.

Since October 2017, Reed has consistently posted updates about AR’s fictitious health journeys on a dedicated page. Initially, Reed asserted that AR was afflicted with Severe Aplastic Anemia. However, it remains uncertain if this illness was also part of the fabrication. Reed shared multiple links to online fundraisers over the years that reportedly generated substantial funds.
