So first I want you guys to read this article...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1308358/American-Bethany-Storro-burned-acid-like-liquid-thrown-face.html
Now that you have read that, I'm sure you are raged with anger at the attacker & feel so heart broken for this Bethany Storro girl who suffered burns to her face, right?
News Flash! Bethany Storro is now being charged for theft & it has been proved that this Bethany Storro actually did this to her own face & it's all a hoax.
She used some kind of drainer cleaner to her own face! Crazy doesn't seem harsh enough for this woman!
Why did she do this? Some say for the money. She got over $28,000 donated to her from supporters all over that felt awful about her so called acid attack!
Here is the other article with the update on the case:

You can google her name & see more articals if needed.
But yeah, crazy huh?
So do you think she should be jailed or seek mental help?
I think she needs to go to jail & seek some help as well, but I feel since she has no past records of ever having mental problems, I'm sure this was just all for money... she has already spent some of the money donated... GRR!

I think she needs mental help. Why would you disfigure yourself like that if you did not need help.

I suppose someone who is in debt & about to lose everything might do something stupid like this.
Yes what she did sounds pretty mental, but the fact that she has never had any past mental disorder is what makes people think.
Sometimes financial issue cause a person to do stupid things.
In her own sick way she probably knew that she would have a lot of supporters & donations from her hoax. Heck she had my support & donations from the day I heard about the attack. It was a sad story. I felt awful for her.
So strongly believe that if you do the crime, you do the time.
She needs help for her stupidity, yes, but she also needs to do the time for taking innocent people's hard earned money & wasting other peoples time leaving them on a wild goose hunt searching for this so called attacker.
So, it's a hard topic really... you lean both ways... if she is truly sick, yes, send her to a hospital. But something tells me she was just really desperate for money & had no mental disorder, so I lean more tords sending her to jail for at least 1 year maybe 5 like they are talking..
Although what she did was pretty mental huh?
