This has so many implications -- all are so wrong. Not sure, I wouldn't have done the same. Support our educators!!
This is the most messed up situation yet
This is the sort of thing that makes Europeans despise Americans because of their heartless attitude to the sick. In the UK you'd just take the boy to his GP or A&E with nothing to pay. In our eyes, the woman is a hero, not a crook. That said, the boy is a stupid blabber-mouth!
She did that out from the Church inside her. Thats not human instinct. The parents should be charged for the child not having insurance.
Well I guess when your trying to do the right thing for once , the law has to screw you over.
Just some of us has compassion like her's..🌹
Corporate healthcare demands it's forty pounds of flesh. Benevolence is the tool of the masters, not to despensed by serf for free.
It is fraud. But the essence of the gesture was very humain and wonderful. She took a risk to help someone in need, what do you call that... not criminal in my book.
Superintendent couldn’t afford the $70 charge at a local in/out clinic?
We are a country of laws. If you rob a bank to get money to feed starving orphans your hart my be in the right place but your still a bank robber. She could have taken the boy to an emergency room they cannot refuse medical care. It's the law! Sorry.
WHSVnews Yeah! So! She could have paid his costs out of pocket but “noooo!” She purposely lied & gave false information (fraud) & than used her personal insurance card for an ineligible person (fraud) & fraud is a F-E-L-O-N-Y!!!! Who cares her rationale?
Why do not the parents hav insurance- O care is still available
Although I think this is heroic why didn’t she take him to the emergency room?
Compassionate mistake, perhaps, but I commend her for putting the student first. Hope the judge shows some common sense in this case.
There are many of us who support and understand why you did it! I wish you well.
CandidaOrta REALLY? SERIOUSLY?
geor19596 She was trying to help a child, does anyone think about that
Bimbo
That's bs!
She should have known better
Sometimes doing the right thing ends up us being in conflict with the law.
What she did was unfortunately unlawful. But in this case I hope she will get away with just a warning from a judge.
I understand both sides however must be adjusted for her intent any criminal wrongdoing charges should be dropped against her and she should be awarded some type of a an award , Count Me In to stand up for her!
She's a hero in my book
SundayThoughts
FOR GOD SAKES, SHE HELPED A SMALL CHILD.......this is stupid.......
Fraud is fraud! arrestprosecute notsocialism
Imagine, for helping someone gets charged. The system is mean. There isn't humanity in the police force.
She wouldn’t be in that spot if we had Medicare for all or something similar. Healthcare is a right not a privilege. If many other countries can do it why can’t we?
I know it was wrong. But it was for a great cause. Wish we had more with a pure heart like hers..
God bless you mam
The result of a very logical and not at all broken system.
Technically charge is right make her pay for necessary charge though! Her supervisor can explain it to her but still go easy on her compassion! Here is hoping we would not do the same but would have to be faced with painful issue!
Even though her heart was in the right place, she should not have committed fraud. I hope they will show mercy and look at the circumstances.
Sometimes, you have to say to he'll with the rules, do what is best. God understands.
davisb29000 This is a good argument for healthcare reform & some sort of universal system.
A great human being
I hope she gets off and I hope the child she helped is ok.
MAGA. Sad
God Bless her!
We need more people like her. It's called compassion. Something our country is lacking a great deal of. 😔
I would have done the same if someone needed help and didn’t have medical insurance it could have been the flu and people are dying from it
Pity they didn’t use the resources to treat the child rather than on a good hearted teacher. Anyone else think this is all arse about face?
I understand the condition of the child, but she was trying to help a child in a terrible situation. Drop the charges. There’s no humanitarianism in this country at all, when it comes to the unfortunate. This is pathetic.
☹️😟😢
Healthcare is a privilege in this country when it should be a right.
Why is the insurance company not mentioned? Don't they want the free publicity?
Not right to arrest her. If strep throat is not addressed immediately it can cause long term and life threatening illnesses.
Sad- every illegal gets top notch medical care. Sad.
She could of paid cash, or do it the right way. Not just get a kid and take him her self to get help.
What a disgusting indictment of the US medical system and legal system.
We should all be so fraudulent...
Is she going to repay the money with interest ?
God bless her more
Should’ve just said the kid was illegal. Would’ve gotten the red carpet.
How horrible ! It’s heartbreaking! Makes me so grateful to be Canadian 🇨🇦 where no one is denied healthcare !!!
I know it was wrong, but sad. Thing is mini clinics are cheap. She could of paid under a 100 dollars out of her pocket.
Why couldn’t the student just go to the emergency room
If you show up at the hospital with no insurance they can not deny you treatment.
She’s a hero
Probably because she committed fraud.
But stevenmnuchin1 still free and he destroyed peoples lives. This womans 'crime' is saving a child's life. SHE'S AN ANGEL! This is BS!
Let that woman go!!
This is really old news. She was fined and that’s it. A lot of people were happy with her morally but they had to fine her cause of the law.
Boy is 15 years old. Woman was buying him clothes, cleaning his house. Nothing strange about that She didn't call Child Protective Services despite evident neglect because she didn't want him in a foster home? Only child in her entire school area she was doing this for?
I hope she is released ASAP and keep her job with her dedication we need more Heros like her. SHALOM 💕❤️
Sometimes good thoughtful people end up being punished for doing something positive.
Kudos to her for caring, but if everyone did this, it would cripple the system causing more harm
HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is fucked up.... No good deed goes unpunished right?
That sucks
She should be given an award. She is helping a sick child.
Obama turned everything upside down with his Obamacare and still so many are not covered. Incompetent!!
...so she’s being punished for having empathy, a heart, and health insurance to spare. If we had MedicareForAll (aka universal SinglePayer HealthCareForAll), Like Other Modern Western Countries Do, this heartless travesty wouldn’t be a thing At All. 🤦♀️ 🤦♂️ SHAME
As much as I can empathize, and I do, insurance fraud is illegal. Give her a slap on the wrists (probation) and call it a day.
The universal health care for all would be worse, Health care people wouldn't be making what they're making now. So they would see less people, an do less work. He'd been on a waiting list. Ford gets a mill in a gomefund, and runs with the money. This teacher has a kind heart!!
How about some information on his family? She went and cleaned the house and bought him clothes? Where was his mother? Yes she tried to do a good thing. Some thing just isn’t right.
Omg she,was,helping him
What no, she could just buy m edical I for the student and beat the charge
This woman is an 😇! Stop arresting people for civic, charitable, GOOD behavior. Healthcare is a HUMAN RIGHT!
That’s straight bullshit a universal health care system works look at Canada . We also give all prescription medication free to people 24 years and under . But there are other countries that have universal prescription coverage and health care PULLUPUSA
What did she take him to Dr for and couldn’t she have just paid a dr fee?
This is how America responds to compassion.
She did what she believed to be right for a child. What's wrong here is a child having no insurance. What happened to health care for all?
Bless her trying to care for a child in need
What happens when we start systemically accounting for the needs of People? LibertyAndJusticeForAll PSAANS FaithandFreedom MoralCourage post_lead AmerMedicalAssn SenAlexander PattyMurray HouseBlueDogs RepublicanStudy splcenter NRO AFPhq RepublicanAGs DemocraticAGs
Sometimes the Law is WROnG
The school district should reimburse her and the medical center should be ashamed. It’s too bad that there aren’t MORE teachers, superintendents and just PEOPLE who would do something to help another HUMAN BEING. Where has the “WE” gone? it’s just about “I” now! WHY?WHY?WHY?
Come on stupid people she is a Hero
Trying to help a sick kid StuckOnStupid HealthCareForAll
That’s crazy what was she to do let the kid die
And I bet she would do it again if it was the only way that child got help. Bravo Superintendent
Wow. The legal system is broken. The school system is broken. The healthcare system is broken. The childcare system is broken. The USA is in desperate need of some kind of meaningful reform.
She is not the first, nor the last...
That really sad praying for her.she was trying to help.
SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi One of the many reasons our healthcare system needs an overhaul. If only the democrats would get moving on this now that they have a majority in the house.
Sadly, some people are not compassionate, they don’t understand how a community works
Let's make sure to punish people for trying to help.
She should be given accolades and respect.
It is fraud if she did what u said. If the kid was not on her insurance she had no right. What about New York killing children? Late term Abortion? Let’s discuss this why don’t we.
I'm sure she didn't want payback in the form of money but something else in return if you know what I mean.
I would have done the same thing.
She’s got AOC crazy eyes
That’s what good educators do. Our hands are tied when it comes to helping our children be successful in every way.
Que terrible este mundo en donde toda buena accion siempre sera castigada.
This is why we need Universal Healthcare, just like EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD
Healthcare is not a right. Still looking in the Constitution
Because it is fraud.
Liberals all across the country are asking why is that fraud? Why is that wrong? Same reason illegal aliens voting is wrong! LiberalLogicBafflesMe
Oh my gosh!
How dare she causing the insurance company to pay? What about the CEOs second yacht that was to be purchased with this year's bonus?
This is a disgrace!
Don’t sympathize away illegal acts! “Do The Right [Legal] Thing”!
Heartbreaking
Need to let some stuff slide
WHSVnews Where can I send money to help with her defense and to help the sick uninsured child?
Although this is illegal, it should not be. This woman was trying to help achild they should have insurance.
And?
She should be fired; there are many unanswered questions the press has failed to ask.
She should of checked him in and paid for it. That is a true hero. Not using her medical insurance, which is theft and fraud.
Land of the free....
Read article. She was cleaning students home. SHE didn’t want him in foster care!? Stay in your lane. Child protective services needed. She was obligated to call if child in danger!!
That is Fraud ABC.
So wrong, turn her loose, forget everything.
She is an idiot. Why did she not pay for doctor visit and medication herself. Not like the boy was terminally ill.
This is insane! There are so many crazy idiots in the world now...how can they be upset about a teacher helping a student.?
What the hell has this world come too this is just uncoof
Yeah. That's fraud.
Why didn't she just take the kid to the emergency room? Trying to use her insurance card makes no sense.
Yeah...that's fraud don't try and change the fact she broke the law... ABC promotes criminal activity that shameful
As she should....Many other options besides commiting insurance fraud. Besides the fact she had NO business whatsoever removing that kid from the school!
This just shows we waste more money on items for enjoyment than our health we need to have better programs for our health. She showed care for this child.
Not guilty...start the go fund me...and shame on the bloodsucking insurance company.
She’s charged with fraud, because it’s fraud. I’m sure you’ll find a way to blame this on our president.
The real question is why didn’t she purchase Obama care for the student and others like them? I think we all know it’s white privilege.
Because it WAS fraud. Right or wrong, it was fraud.
America.. Greatest Country on Earth...
Of course ,she must be a republican! Have her tell them she anti trump and they will give her a medal, which by the way she deserves! God saw what she did and he will reward her! God Bless her,hope the student is ok!
Do not mess with insurance companies. If she wanted to help this kid she should have paid cash.
Yes, this shouldve been done long ago, but instead of building a wall, how bout having the cost set aside for kids health insurance? Or other costs such as the homeless & etc? Theres a report that was out long ago & it states: housing a person costs 10k. On streets = loss of 30k
Sucks to be her, and sucks that she should suffer any as a result, but like to see where more people care about others more than about anything else. With more people like this, the world would suck a lot less!
As Americans, we should hang our heads in shame every time we elect politicians who legislate the bullshit that gives prison records to people who behave like caring, decent citizens!
A fellow citizen helped another being out to seek help from a doctor at a low cost, and she gets charged with fraud. Sad and horrible how students or people in general, who are under the age of 18, dont have health insurance in the U.S. So, who's to blame here? The government.
I don't view this as fraud. I view it as a very caring educator, trying to help one of her students, that the government & insurance companies are determined to cast aside & left to die.
I'm sure she's losing her job now too :(
Yes it was wrong but she has a big heart to help someone. Let her go.
I am praying for her.
This is ludicrous. What a shame. No reason why anyone (especially a child) can't go into an Urgent Care type place, be checked for strep throat, which is very dangerous if not treated, and then walk out with medicine, if needed. Shame on all of us for letting this happen.
Sad that this went as far as her being charged with 'fraud.' Because, yes, let us allow a child, whom didn't have any insurance, to just die. Btw, it went as far as going to the superintendent of a district, who's job is to help kids out, to help the child out. sickening
As she should be
Instead of 1.7 billion going for a wall, lets give health care to children in need. Then good hearted people wouldn’t be charged for helping others.
This is becoming America's reality. People figure if its ok for immigrants to break the law to come here, why cant the citizens already here break the law. Liberalism is actually a good idea. Eventually people will kill people for sport since doing what you want is all the rage.
If we had Universal Healthcare, like Medicare for All, this good woman would not have had to stoop to subterfuge to helps sick child. Everyone should have the ability to see a Doctor.
Yes it’s illegal;yes she should receive an award! Figure that out ! 🤔
Only in America
no good deed goes unpunished ...
Really For giving a shit this woman is getting charged Probably wouldn't have blinked if it was some filthy illegal..
😔
I understand the charge, but she did good.
The estimated annual health care costs of obesity-related illness are a staggering $190.2 billion or nearly 21% of annual medical spending in the United States. Those who act recklessly with their health choices punish those who act responsibly! Silence is complicity!
She try to help student , that’s not fraud!
Medicare for all!
Still broke the law! Should be charged..
This incidence declined when there was more available coverage with the ACA
Unfortunately it is she should have just paid or explained
The president will pardon a criminal but when somebody does something good for a child he says nothing. TheAmericanPeople
She is the true hero in this.
People that try to do good things. Our government is responsible for this. MedicareForAll
It was fraud. Fine her $1 and require community service working for an agency advocation for Medicare for all
Yep, you can’t do that. The emergency room would have treated the student anyway.
So if she left the kid dying she'll be applaud at by the government. Now I get it.
When the world gets it wrong
This is why we need healthcare in America but Trump and GOP don't want low and middle incomes to have it. A true sign of desperate and love but aid should have been handled lawfully.
She did the right thing. If there was ever an example of the need to have an affordable health care system. Please somebody start a crowdfunding for her.
BOYCOTT THE INSURANCE COMPANY
She’s the person who could mean the difference in this kids life going one way or the other. Sometimes this is all it takes to make a change in the world for a kid. Someone who cared enough.
Using something that doesn’t belong to you under false pretenses. That’s a crime! Make her pay for it!
Welcome to a world controlled by the GOP. THEY WANT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR TO SUFFER. It's hot they stay on top.
It’s a shame she had to commit fraud to get this child some help. This woman is a hero.
Tax dollars at work. Working against citizens and against citizens who help other citizens. Is this putting America first!?
Ask for a jury trial
How sad. Where were is parents
She should have a Medal of Honor ❤️
Ooopsie daisy! That's was wrong.
Messed up but that’s also against the law. I work at a hospital and I have to listen very carefully how people talk to me when giving me insurance information because they try to do this and they will get slam dunked with fraud. So sad. But most kids can get state insurance?
Fraud happens every goddamn day but we are gonna crucify this woman for having a heart I get the implications but she meant well. Instead she’s liable to do some legitimate time or get a fuck ton of unnecessary probation. Great fkn system guys.
She should be praised not jailed
This era wants to us against ourselves. He who knows how to do good and does it not, to him is a sin.
Only in America. No, really...ONLY in America
SO SHE TRYED TO HELP? HOW SAD-----8YRS OF CRIME NO ONE IN JAIL, SOMEONE TRYS TO HELP A SICK PERSON, JAIL
Not cool school superintendent! How dare tou bite into insurance companies’ $50 billion yearly profits?
As she should be. Other people will be obliged to pay for any frauds carried out in the manner described, since nothing comes for free. My advice to anyone else who wants to play at Mother Theresa; just pay for it out of your own pocket and then we’ll all possibly applaud you.
They should recognize her for doing good, not fraud.
This is how broken the whole world is...she does the right thing and they pounce. While the criminals in the White House and GOP rob you daily and nothing happens.
How was she even able to check him in? There's got to be more to the story. School superintendent should not be teaching kids to lie, steal and cheat. No it's not ok. Must have just been convenient. Uninsured does not= no$. What about school nurse or public health?
Jail? Really? Come on. This says a lot about our educators
Why not take him and pay for it!
Maybe because it’s fraud?
wow unbelievable. America is one of the worst country to live. Central Banking System is taking people’s lives.
The local news indicated there was a humanitarian fund at the school. So why not use it?What if the child had an allergy?Did she try to consult the parents?She used no critical thinking skills. Bad judgment for a school professional that is entrusted to safety of children.
‘MURICA!!!! What a country...🙄🙄🙄🙄
I’d do the same! She’s a Shero!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She should be canonized, not charged.
think many states have a compassion law, think pay the bill, pay a fine, probation, then set free? maybe expunged later? thought
You mean she ripped off an insurance company rather than pay for it herself? Why is this a story?
The law, deal with it. Nice gesture though. She should have just paid out of pocket instead of stealing.
Gutsy lady! Mothers should praise her for her bravery to help a child in need!
Can’t we at least, get universal healthcare for children under age 18 This IS America...a child should have medication if needed🙄
So what she was helping a sick child!! Let her be.
Sickening rules of bad insureances Installed by law of a Government who will Loose it all if it continue trending this bumpy road Health-care should be accessable for all People without discrimination Simply put every Government must Take full responsebillity for Healthcare
She was helping a kid in need niceperson youdidwhat is right
This is why we need healthcare for All!!
I wonder if she had called EMTs on behalf of student or took him to ER and insisted as a superintendent they be seen by doctor, what would have happened? At least they'd be triaged and parents called in, maybe? There would be some legal record of situation.
Teachers and school authorities should have a way to intervene to save someone's life or get medical help.
That’s the definition of fraud. ends don’t justify the means. Should we rob bank to help poor?
Universal healthcare would solve this problem
I’m sure she can file some motions for temporary guardian which takes a week , then contact her employee to add the kid to the insurance plan 24-48hrs assuming all paperwork has been handed .. but damn ! Do you know how many times I’ve seen that at Winthrop and nothing was done !
Unbelievable! I'm curious why the child did not have Medicaid or chip or whatever similar program their state has.
You cannot do that.
Love her nurturing impulse, but she really did commit insurance fraud. It’s one thing to be generous with your own money. It’s another thing to try to get insurance to pay for it. Those are two separate decisions and need to be judged separately.
Old clickbait news. This issue has been resolved. In other trending abc news.....”MEN WALK ON THE MOON”!
You can’t do that. It is fraud, read your policy
That is called fraud,yes. She could have paid with her own money had she wanted to help.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Tragic! Yet there’s the orange in charge!
No good deed goes unpunished
Why does the laws work so good in this case an they cant keep are political people in order for shit . It makes me sick to see this lady in trouble for what she did an the crooked politicians just blowing an going doing a hell of alot more than helping someone.
Still don’t follow the rules not to be lying.
Sometimes- bull 💩 laws need to be bypassed! And there was one time in the 1700’s when a group of people felt the same way about England’s bull 💩 laws. What’s my point? Revolution is coming! Hear me, good hearted and moral legal US citizens are going to get tired of this bull 💩
It is fraud… It’s insurance fraud… She could’ve gotten this child help without trying to steal from the insurance co.
Check the kids background maybe don't have insurance and she doesn't have enough money to covert the bill
Okay. Why is she getting screwed over for helping a kid out.
this is not right
A comedian did the same thing humm
Probably lost her insurance. Too. More going on here than reported
Shit like this is why no one is a good Samaritan anymore.
This is wrong as hell but a kid should be able to get state sponsored insurance anywhere. Curious why he doesn’t have it.
A hero and human being
Only in USA 🤡
SHE WAS TRYING TO DO A GOOD THING.....
I know it’s the law but...
Good intention but it was fraud. Slap her on wrist get Obamacare to that state.
This is what we have become. Savages.
She needs to be celebrated as she cares.
Wow this woman was doing a good thing and she got locked up for it what is going on with our country
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HELP SOMEONE SCREWD
Good
But lets keep giving free medical to the illegals!!!!
There are some unanswered questions we need to know: 1) if she had not used her insurance card, what would the total cost of the emergency room visit have been? 2) Does America have a *Good Samaritan' law? Europe does! It's actually illegal to pass by & ignore a sick human being!
Compassionate lady🙏❤️
Firstly, I would like to contribute via a Go Fund Me page for her legal, costs and bond fees. However the fantastic news is that we appear to have found an IDEAL CANDIDATE to be the next President of the United States! I will also happily contribute to her election fund. Bravo!
?
This woman is a hero not a criminal!! Maybe if medical practices didn’t charge so much money for care and if insurance was cheaper we wouldn’t have this problem!! Here’s a thought UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!!!
No jury would convict this hero I’m sure of it.
Ok she admitted her mistake. Let’s charge her with helping a fellow human being for no apparent reason other then her humanity could not ignore the child’s pain. Now one the other hand what is being done about the folks who made billions on OxyContin knowing it is addictive?
She is the robinhood of medical insurance.
Hey America, be humane like this teacher.
LOCK HER UP! That line still rings in my ears. Screw the rules, sometimes you just have to do what is right.
It was fraud
Not fair!!!!!! SHE IS HELPING TO SAVE A LIFE!!!!!
She needs to resign!
she's a hero.
Wait a minute. Something's not right. Where are this boy's parents? The principal of his school cleaned his home?
Too bad,
Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor, but he was still a criminal. Should of just told the truth.
Yes that’s fraud.
Wow! I can’t believe this! Yes she was kind for taking him to the hospital, however. If she was being generous her true sacrifice would have been to take out her bebit card or credit card not her insurance card knowingly defrauding the system. I’m sorry!
Well intentioned, but duh!
Wow, a Good Samaritan gets arrested while Trump destroys lives and sits in the WH 🤦♀️ This is seriously messed up
MSMWatchdog2013 MAGA
Our health care/sick care system is broke! It needs to be fixed immediately! So all children have access to health care! Thank you Superintendent for caring enough!
Hero
She screwed over a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR industry, known for screwing people over. I’m fine with that.
I have tried to be a good person all my life and I have learned (the hard way) that it doesn’t pay at all. Actually it destroys you, for the most part. In this world, if you are a good person, you will end up ruined. It’s the saddest thing about living in this world but the truth
I would do the same .
Leave her alone! She should be rewarded, not punished.
I wish twitter had a 😞 instead of a heart.
Yeah doing g something good has really went to hell in America oh Indeed
Beautiful heart but dumb as he'll. She probably saved this boy's life but now will lose everything. Let's Make Healthcare Great Again
That’s sad, she just wanted to help. I get it, she broke the law but the real problem is our system. Everyone should have access to affordable healthcare. Everyone!
What she did WAS fraud. I understand why she did it, but it was WRONG!!!!
It's good to see a superintendent providing a valuable educational experience to the students of her school district, and one that most young people need to learn. And that lesson is that there are no shortcuts in life and that consequences pull their punches for no one.
That’s BS! Compassion people😪
We can do better than this as a nation. Go after real criminals. LeaveHerAlone
LeaveHerAlone
Not her job!!! She should have called paramedics!!! Cheaper and she wouldn’t have gotten in trouble 😠
And this is why we need single payer
OMG!!! Any other Western Country it would of been free for the student
Well......
How many more days are you going to run this story?
Well, she’s guilty. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
My Shero! Thanks 4 being a part of this child’s village! 🙏🏽
Good for her !
Unbelievable that this happened considering the hospital was being paid This is a bismal attitude to have against a true humanitarian
This lady has a big kind heart and is a true humanitarian
LIFE not perfect always a possibility for a problem.
She did the right thing, so don’t go vilifying her, !
A good Samaritan gets charged with fraud....hmmmmm
What the fuck. Who would prosecute that?
I hope someone helps out with legal fees. This should not happen. There should have been a Medicare plan for all.
Lock her up .. lock her up !!.. Saving lives is illegal in the US
That is fraud. She may have had good intentions but it’s fraud none the less
'Merica..are we great again yet? I support this women a million times over. I wish I was a principal in her District.
This is heartbreaking.
She should be honored not vilified by the system.
Healthcare, esp emergency and lifesaving healthcare should be universal for all citizens especially children Nobody should die or be put through needless pain because of their financial situation American claims to be a Christian country, no real Christian would stand for this...
They charge her with fraud for using her benefits for someone not covered by her policy, but the real fraud is that this sick child needed care and was not covered. This feels like an injustice.
KimKardashian
Where was your Social Worker for consult?
Why didn’t she just pay the bill rather than commit insurance fraud? Doesn’t make sense.
She made the world great again human being are the best🥇👌
Her heart was in the right place. That should be a mitigating factor.
Lock her up!
I hope everything turn out well for both student and superintendent.
Do good no matter how much it cost
The parents who seem absent and are probably living off welfare while out doing drugs are the frauds! This lady deserves praise for doing the right thing when she was placed in a precarious situation! I’d do the same in a split decision!
UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!!
Unreal!
And this was truly yesterday's news.
Well she committed fraud. So it would make sense that they charged her with it.
لقد قامت بعمل نبيل ...يجب شكرها وترقيتها
An AMERICAN HERO....! imo
Srsly
But coming in to our country illegally is applauded?!?!
The health insurance business & medical groups should be arrested for this situation. Americans can’t afford their drugs or medical care. All because of their greed!
Because that’s fraud
Hero
Well it’s fraud. She lied to a multiple people to pay for their services. She is not that child’s mother. They have services and programs in government for people who can’t afford to take care of their kids and provide health insurance. I don’t agree NHC is the answer.
Caring for our students needs to become a priority in our country again. I thought anyone taken to a hospital had to be treated. Is it not true about minors?
Healthcare is a human right
This sort of actions should not surprise anyone concerning the backlash that came with sincere care for someone especially a child. There are laws in place But review the actions it's called care!!! Didnt see the system stepping in to assist.
She should be terminated illegal unethical conduct public official. Fraud is fraud & other resources for which she had no legal authority, CPS, gofundme, cookie bake, etc.
She broke the law, willingly getting prescription medication for a child pretending it was her own. That child could have gotten that medicine in a legal way
Respect for what she did with the best of intentions.
Because that's fraud. Medical centers will take cash and credit cards. If you want to pay for someone's medical care you can do it with your own money. There are also free medical clinics in every town in America.
Welcome to Obamacare. Where families can not pay for it. Hell if you sign up at HealthCareGov on day one. Your ID has been stolen forever. Blame ALL media/print and TheDemocrats
Sorry, I can not be angry at her.
Nobody should have to make that choice. It’s appalling. I hope they drop any and all charges.
She should be applauded not arrested such a shame kindnessmatters
🤨
This article was published on 1/24, 2 days ago. Since then, its been reported she got a fine and school board won’t fire her.
Seems like Dept of Edu should be responsible for the healthcare of students considering the germs are spread on school premises. It's no different than the liability insurance businesses and restaurants are required to have in case someone gets sick or hurt on the premises.
We on the outside don't understand. Don't you treat your sick, your injured, your dying? Aren't you a Western country? Don't you have Medicare? I fear if you blink, you may just miss your moment of empire.
Only in the United States does this type of thing happen. Shameful.
Jesus wept
We need to start a petition to have this sponged from her record!!! She is a hero!!!! We need more ppl like her!!!
She knowingly broke the law to help a helpless. I am ashamed of my country that can't protect a child and someone is required to break the law to help. That is the real emergency not a wall. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer BernieSanders SenWarren SenKamalaHarris JoeBiden
Let me guess...it’s Trumps fault.... fakenews
That's BS
Sex with him too?
And look who sits in the WhiteHouse ... the epitome of FRAUD...!
Hero.
What a fucked up toxic world we live in, and what a shitty species we are! Selfishness is the disease that will destroy humanity! Its the bastards we are forced to refer to as Honourable that will take us all down with them !
She broke the law when she used her insurance lied said he was her son.. good intentions with bad actions. You can’t cherry pick the law.. Family services should’ve been called.
See... good deeds never go unpunished
So much winning?
Charged by who
Helping a child is not fraud. She should be charged with humanity.
As she should be. Fraud is Fraud. Also, why does she clean his house, and buy him clothes as well...? Please find out if she is doing this for other students as well. Also, please find out if an Adult was present with them at *ALL* times. MaryKayLetourneau
This is sickening. Why did she get arrested? For helping a child in need? Our country needs new direction and laws.
She should have used her credit card then bankrupted on it. 🤷🏻♀️
Absolute idiocy! How is doing the right thing fraud!?!?
And so she should be. Being a superintendent, she had the money to pay for the doctor.
Yep if anything gets law enforcement angry it is when someone trys to help someone. This student may have got some free healthcare. Now that’s a big no no the US, they want to be able to soak you for every dime. American healthcare is the most expensive stupid system anywhere.
This is a choice between man's law or God's law.
Criminal
No good deed goes unpunished. Richest nation in the world is the only advanced democracy that leaves their innocent children without healthcare. Shameful.
Yay USA
Heart in the right place but big no no!
No good deed goes unpunished it seems...
This is so wrong. Single payer. Advanced countries make this work.
Trump supporters: “lock her up. She’s a socialist. We hate her for having a conscience. Empathy is for losers. We hate people.” Am I right?
Doing the wrong thing for the right reason. Sometime you have to.
Fraud gushes from her entire body..i.e .. face, eyes & conduct . She is criminal charge, criminal confession & prosecution against herself...!!!
Single payer health insurance for all, please. Now.
Y’all need to leave this woman alone and go after real criminals. You know the ones committing mass murders and breaking into people’s houses, those ones
only in America
No good deed goes unpunished.
America’s health care & justice systems are both SICK.
It is fraud. If the kid was hungry and she robbed a convenience store it’s still theft. If he needed money and she robbed a bank and gave it him to still theft. Stop letting emotion run your decision marking and soon enough you’ll have money. Pretty easy.
... because she did in fact committed fraud. Even the noblest of illegal activities are still illegal.
Guys, it was fraud. She's a teacher who has to know about resources in her community. I don't think she should be charged but she knew better. I hope she didn't lose her job too.
Doctors give a 40-75% discount when paying cash. Sometimes it is cheaper than the co-payment. She is not very bright. 🙄
I will donate! Where to?
PennylessChurch Gotta feeling she will get a pass on her judgment day.
She is heroic
Sad - just try to do the right thing...
Only in America
If any one gets a go fund me page it’s her. Kudos to her and shame on America for one of the only country’s left that has no healthcare.
It was “fraud” but she did the right thing. If our healthcare system wasn’t so screwed up, she wouldn’t have had to do this.
Sometimes doing the right thing is more important than doing the legal thing
Stunt.
Well, it is fraud. She should’ve just taken the child to an ER. Or, any urgent care center. There are numerous programs for that. It sucks but you can’t check them in under your insurance.
Yup. That’s fraud.
And if she hadn’t, she would probably have been charged with negligence.
Universal healthcare. Oh wait the insurance companies make too much money to care.
As she should be. If she care so much, she could have paid the bill herself.
That's what Obamacare does to people!
Fucked up system. Kudos to the Superintendent!!
Good
Shouldn’t there be a “common sense” or just plain “decency” exception? doingtherightthing
She probably helped an elderly couple across the street on her way to adopt a pet, too. B$!
I don’t see the problem here!
So a school official does the right and compassionate thing and gets charged? Where are the parents or guardians who obviously didn’t do anything to help? Let’s charge them!
Based on her buying him clothes, cleaning his home and taking him to the doctor (fraudulently) - the question remains where and what was his actual family doing for him. 🤔🤔🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
She did a good thing.
What a good woman... What a bad World...
Isn’t compassion and caring worth anything anymore? The only thing she did wrong was claiming that he was her son in order to help him.
Well duh, that's insurance fraud.
So she helped a child. Healthcare is broken.
This is just sad in EVERY way!! No GOOD deed goes unpunished! I'm disgusted! I would have done the same!
I think it's an overlooked fact that children are our future...
The kid or this superintendent shouldn’t have to go through this especially in the developed countries like US. I have a radical idea. How about universal healthcare? Bernie2020
The cost we pay for helping the needy and poor
Why not just pay cash?
This system is as broken as it ever can be. Time for universal single payer healthcare.
That is fraud.
Someone this dumb should not be in charge of the education of children.
Trump keeps on saying he's Making America Great Again....... But for whom.
Identity fraud is a crime no matter how good the intentions are.
this is what you need to fix SenSanders good honest people trying to help young sick children and being charged for a crime?! What the fuck is wrong with our country
If you saved someone’s life you will go to jail , if you left someone die you will be good and free!
Yep, that's fraud. what's the point of this?
She should’ve paid out of pocket! Why lie?
Why does this need to be fraud when she was just trying to help the student? What has happened to our humanity? 😢
Because it’s fraud.
Pardon her NOW
What she gets for being a good person
back21973 Drop the fucking charges. She was doing the right thing.
Give her a break. I hope this doesn’t affect her record and her job. This is so sad.
What a terrible person! Trying to help a sick uninsured child! The nerve! What are those billionaire insurance owners going to do now?
Be best.
Insurance fraud you say... What was the criminal intent here?
“No Gopd Deed Goes Unpunished” Medicare for all GOP already screwed up Obamacare rather than fix it. Assholes
'We are a nation of laws'
How dare her do the right thing!
Truly a flawed system. Someone trying to help a minor in need should not ever face criminal charges.
Embarrassing Amerikkka
Well, that’s fraud. As my mother use to say: “never do a good deed that may look bad”.
Something sounds fishy here.
Absurd. She did what was right.
No good deed goes unpunished? She should’ve just paid with a credit card.
Truth is the charges should be dropped. In fact they should have never been brought. Also it’s a shame a person has to commit a crime to help a kid like this
Getting punish for being a caring human being
What a criminal... not!
It's fraud. But capitalism triumph every time. If the give murdering racust cops 6 years then she deserves a vacation and plaque for her goodness.
Nationalize the healthcare industry.
Wish there was a way where we all would have universal healthcare🧐
That's exactly how it starts. They start out helping a sick child and the next thing you know they're selling drugs.
The law is the law. Give her a $10 fine and 1 day probation.
If we had single payer healthcare this would never happen.
That's what happens when you illegally invite the world into our country and take away our jobs.
I wanna hug her
She committed fraud and was charged with fraud. No sympathy.
This is insurance fraud. She should be honest
sucks she got caught, she sounds like a sweet woman but johnny law don't care about your intentions just the law
As well as her intentions were, she committed Insurance fraud
Yes ! FINALY the proof of the cases that Make My Arguments In Law For ME! Thank YOU ABC (if it’s Real anyway)
Did she blink at all or no?
Let’s hear the whole story before jumping to conclusions.
Run This On Loop More dead LEGAL Americans at the hands of a man who SHOULD NOT BE HERE TO COMMIT THIS CRIME Man in custody in connection with four 'brutal' murders that shook communities in the Reno, Nevada area.
Great Christian ethic
Well yeah.. that Is fraud
But good fraud.
No good deed should ever go unpunished - send her to congress.
Here we go again
Good people done wrong. Start a Go Fund Me....!!
She’s the one that looks sick. She looks like a skeleton.
Great job.. Robinhood + Zorro × Boudica = a good person
Good
She should be promoted not arrested
the system failed and she stepped up, kudos to her!
