Kyyle23 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/27/washingto...n.ap/index.html A woman admitted Monday that she coached her two children to fake retardation starting when they were 4 and 8 years old so she could collect Social Security benefits on their behalf. Rosie Costello, 46, admitted in U.S. District Court that she collected more than $280,000 in benefits, beginning in the mid-1980s. Most was from Social Security, but the state social services agency paid $53,000. According to the plea agreement, Costello began coaching her daughter at age 4, and later used the same ruse with her son. He feigned retardation into his mid-20s -- picking at his face, slouching and appearing uncommunicative in meetings with Social Security officials. Social Security workers became suspicious and uncovered a video of Pete Costello ably contesting a traffic ticket in a Vancouver courtroom.

SoxFan562004 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 it wasn't an overall great show, but "Just Shoot Me" had a few good episodes, and one was when David Cross played the photographers brother who pretend to be retarded so he could keep living with his mom and be taken care of.

Kid Gleason Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 That was a hysterical episode! Didn't he have a great line along the lines of "I'm not retarded, just lazy"? Man, what a great one that was! This is pretty amazing. The son faked it into his 20's? What kind of wacky life must that have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
